It appears the adults are back in charge at Jackson City Hall. Pieter Teeuwissen will serve as Chief Administrative Officer for Mayor John Horhn.
Mr. Teeuwissen served as city attorney under the Johnson administration and attorney for the Hinds County Board of Supervisors when the good guys* controlled the Board. He was a Hinds County Court Judge but was defeated last year at the polls.
Kingfish note: Home run hire by the Mayor.
* Greer/Morgan, McQuirter, Hobson-Calhoun

Great news! A good man, with applicable experience for the job. How long it has been, oh Lord!
Really glad to see Pieter back. Great hire!
Kingfish: What exactly do you expect a Chief Administrative Officer to do that will make this a home-run hire?
You might want to reserve your excitement for the announcement of Police Chief. Right now, that's the only new-hire that will matter.
Home run for sure!
Great hire but will Horhn seriously take his counsel? One thing is certain, the unlawful crap going on in City Hall will be stopped.
What a great hire! Pieter is smart, hard working, fair......congratulations Mayor Horhn! Adults back in the room indeed!
Such As? Specifics, please.
Settle down peeps. This is just one step in a thousand mile journey.
I have not seen my name on JJ for a long time (and maybe that is a good thing). Pieter was engaged by my predecessors and retained by the new Hinds BOS when I was elected in 2015. He is a brilliant lawyer, not to mention that he is also an all-around great person. I can’t think of a better hire for this position. Hoping for the best for the new administration.
Looking for "LIKE" button......
I've known Pete for many years and have dealt with him in several capacities. He's damn good. If his hire is any indication Jackson's moving forward. Good first step!
5:26, if you want to see more of the same, continue putting unqualified people in high places. This may be "one" hire, but it is clearly a HUGE step toward a return to sanity.
Pieter is an outstanding choice. I have worked with him and was very impressed. Great guy
If someone gets voted out of office, are they eligible for unemployment compensation?
Peter and I went to different law schools together. Great guy.
If you want people to think you are doing a great job hire somebody smarter than yourself to do the work. Horhn just did.
6:29 Not if he has a law firm and was drawing $ on the side.

Is Rukia’s property going to the tax sale this year?
Leave Rukia alone I’ll pay her taxes!
The Mayor needs a kick ass Police Chief to put those dope boys and violent gang bangers out of business in Jackson. However I doubt that will happen.
