Who will go down first?

[Sir Mickey Mouse]

Here's a poll for you guys...

Who will be the first of the powers that be to be indicted or charged?

[just-Wynn]

Why is Wynn not Wynning this poll? Wynn is obviously the best quantified for the position.

[Ande']

From what I think I understand about what some have posted here, I would have to think that the person referred to as BB will go down first.

[OLDLADY]

Look at it this way...you are wynning...you have most votes!!!

[lamarrebel]

If I understand correctly, BB doesn't even any longer work for the City, so how can she go "down"? She, if anything, just seems to have stronger access to the Mayor's ear than most. How can that then can she go down, minus and indictment or something, which no one has accused her of doing anything illegal anyway?

[reality]

The only person I have ever heard of doing anything illegal is Fairley.

[Tully Mars]

I agree with Hubbarrister. It amazes me that BB's name continues to be mentioned here. You guys got your wish a few weeks ago when you essentially drove her off of this site. In addition, she no longer works for the city in any capacity. As far as the facts bear out, BB is not even relevant in terms of this poll. Some of you guys seriously need to move on to more important and relevant issues.

[lamarrebel]

btw Welcome Back reality :smt038

[reality]

Thanks Hubb...good to be back ;).

[lamarrebel]

I agree...the attacks about this individual's personal life were out of bounds. I'm not a fan of her politics, particularly, with regard to the Mayor, but some of the attacks, even if true, didn't belong here.

In the words of Jesus, "let he who is without sin among you, cast the first stone." We can disagree and be civil about it.

[Sir Mickey Mouse]

OKOKOKOK



Sorry guys... consider BB's name gone from the poll... I simply meant someone like that person... someone who is in line with DuPree's beliefs, etc. Sorry to personally offend you guys.

[noway]

I really think everyone misses HCG on the website. I hope one day she will join us again. :smt054

No offense taken Mickey. It just simply does not make sense to try to create scapegoats where none exist. If people have a problem with DuPree and gang then there are proper channels for communicating those issues. While this site is certainly one of them, let's focus on the issues that are truly important to the future of this city...not external factors that have no real bearing on the issues at hand.

[bartspoon]

Glad to see you back reality:p . I thought the putty tat might have gotten you. I should have known that tat couldnt outsmart you. Welcome back.

Was reality on vacation or something? Did I miss something? Anyway Fairley will be in jail one day just wait and see.... :smt070

Noway, I flew the coop....left the great state of MS for a while.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome home...glad to know I'm missed when I'm away. :smt055

[lamarrebel]

Honestly, I think Wynn will the be one to go down, if anyone. Wynn has undermined his crediblity too much of the community, and with this DOJ probe I believe someone will have to take the fall.

[just-Wynn]

Peoples, peoples, peoples. Honestly now. Do you think that Wynn is just going to be brushed aside by a lil investigation on false allegations? Wynn is dug in too deep here. If Wynn does happen to be up-rooted, you can expect alot of dirt to fall from those roots. Of course we don't have to worry about that. As long as "the powers that is" stay "the powers that is" you can expect to see alot more of Wynn's beauty and grace all over the place.

[reality]

It alive, it's alive! Welcome back to Wayne's World :smt118 Tweety

Thanks Hawkeye. After catching up on my reading of the postings, I must agree... does seem a little Wayne's World in here. LOL!

[beggingforrelief]

We all know that there are members of the DuPree Gang that need to go. My personal bests are Beverly Magoo-Commadore, Field Marshal Wynn and Osma Bin Fiero. The city council has the power to approve or disaprove who DuPree puts back as directors.


The only concern that I have been hearing is that Frankie Benton and other Afro-American leaders are putting pressure on Kim Bradley to approve all of DuPree's appointments. One of my Afro-american friends (also an employee) has even heard of a boycot of Mr. Bradley's business if he doesn't vote their way.

If you know or believe that a change is necessary fir H'burg, get on the phone or stop by and talk to Kim, Red and/or Carte and express your concerns before its to late for us.

[aaron]

This is not as important as the others, but Clemon Terrell isn't doing a great job in my opinion with the parks department. I've played city league softball for the last two years and management makes constant mistakes. No one I know will even go near the basketball league, which is a shame, cause several of us love basketball also.

[JB2379]

Clemon just doesn't seem to know what he is doing with the Parks and Recreation. Seems as if he is lacking management skills, and doesn't have a clear vision of the direction of the parks and recreation department.
As for the rumored boycott of Kim's business, that just sickens me. But, I'm pretty sure any attempted boycott of Kim's business would not be successful, because too many people like him and know that he is a good business man, who shouldn't be forced to approve Dupree's appointment.

[aaron]

Has a boycott of any business in Hattiesburg ever been successful? If you can't get people to vote, why would they care about a boycott?

[nonnegotiable]

I don't think Bradley has anything to worry about let them treaten a boycott! You can't use food stamps at his business!

[bartspoon]

i wish they would try something like that ..i bet it would help his business.

[nonnegotiable]

I will help his business next June with a wedding!

[ynotme297]

we will just have to wait and see. i don`t think they sacre him with his business. if he votes for winn, it will be b/c he wants too.

[JB2379]

I, for one, am not to worried about a boycott. And nonnegotiable, are you suggesting that all black people receive food stamps? If so, please don't make an assumption like that, until you look at the statistics. You might be surprised!

[noway]

I have spoken with Kim Bradley and the feeling I'm getting is he will vote in favor of chief wynn.. He has told me about the huge number of calls he is getting and also calls from wynn & dupree. Its going to be very interesting to see if he raises his hand or leaves it down on the vote... :smt102

[JB2379]

I just don't see why Kim would vote in favor of Wynn, especially when he's been flooded with phone calls from concerned citizens. Who knows, maybe someone is threatening Kim to vote in favor of the Wynn. If that's the case, we are living in sad times.

[happy appy]

I think Wynn will probably be the first one to go down, yet to tell you the truth I dont care who is first as long as all of them are brought to justice!!! :smt070

[ynotme297]

i sure hate to pop bubbles, but kim will vote for wynn. he is a bussiness man and thats the way he will have to go. hope i`m wrong, but don`t think so.

[aaron]

so what if the people against Wynn boycott his business?

[ynotme297]

he may get some city business.

[nonnegotiable]

I, for one, am not to worried about a boycott. And nonnegotiable, are you suggesting that all black people receive food stamps? If so, please don't make an assumption like that, until you look at the statistics. You might be surprised!
I am sorry if some of you took my post the wrong way I never meant for this to be a race issue I received food stamps myself for three years while I got my family back on our feet. What I was saying is that Fairley goes after the poor and unfortunate people who needs a promise of some type to live day to day he made promises of food and money to get those people in to vote. He knows what type people he needs to approach. So again I will say I am sorry but I never brought race into this some readers made this a race issue!

[lamarrebel]

Here's some scoop: apparently the DuPree administration is looking for ways to get around the Attorney General's opinion that states that Mayors should submit their department heads for confirmation vote by the council even if they are reappointments (like Wynn). Ironically enough, it was then-Councilman Charles Lawrence who went and got this opinion when Ed Morgan was entering his second term, and now that the tables are turned, DuPree wants nothing of it.

Another option the council would have, is simply refusing to fund the salaries of the officials they disapprove of, if they are not allowed this confirmation vote. Tell Wynn, he can stay, but he'll do it for free. I would hope that it does not come to that, but that is an option.

[OLDLADY]

Hub, I have a question...since dupree has not brought this to vote to the council yet, how long does he have? Can he do it 3 to 6 months down the road? or sooner? what are his benefits by waiting so long?

[just-Wynn]

Tell Wynn, he can stay, but he'll do it for free.Wynn is sure that if he was denied a salary, the peoples of his.....this, city would rush to aid him financially because of the tremendous ethical class and character he displays. Or Wynn supposes he might be able to talk his way into a slice of the "bond" pie. :smt023

[2002usmgrad]

Hub, you must have gotten your info from Bob Pittman. I just picked up this week's Independent and the lead story is how Johnny might have that loophole of reconfirmation of his department heads. In the article it says that Attorney General Mike Moore wrote that a mayor "should submit his appointments for confirmation each term, even if those named are current directors." The main thing here is the word "should", not "shall" or "must." The story also points to the fact that Laurel mayor Melvin Mack (say that 5 times fast) did not bring up the department heads for reconfirmation, but just created 5 new positions. So from what it looks like, DuPree legally might not have to bring them up for reappointment. They also had a story on how Bradley knows he's in a tight spot.

[aaron]

I don't understand why Bradley is in a tight spot.

And Mack had to get confirmation for the positions that he created, and they were all approved.

[2002usmgrad]

um, Bradley is in a tight spot because he is the swing vote on these department head appointments, seems like a pretty tight spot to me. And yes, the positions Melvin did create had to be voted on, but the department heads were left there, whether or not the council liked them or not. Melvin didn't give the council a chance to vote on the appointed department head positions.

[Sir Mickey Mouse]

Wynn has got Bradley in line... :smt079

Sounds like a tight spot to me!

Actually, this scenario has been discussed in GOP circles for a while now, and the thesis behind today's story was not new to me. As I might have said above (without scrolling up), the AG's opinion was first sought by then -Councilman Charles Lawrence concerning then Mayor Ed Morgan's reappointments. I think it is interesting how people's attitudes change when the shoes start fitting differently. An Attorney General's opinion is just that, an opinion which is not legally binding. I believe it will be interesting to see how this plays out, if the Mayor goes this route.

[ynotme297]

yea, but putting all the guessing games aside, does the council have to vote on it or not?

[nonnegotiable]

I'm hoping that they have to vote on the appointments! Friends and relatives are depending on it!

[ynotme297]

it could take months until they vote. there will be a lot of palm greasing going on no doubt.

[HillaryC]

If you men would spend more time taking care of your wife, and less time worrying about what is going on at City Hall, your wifes wouldn't all be getting nooners over at the holiday inn. You'd be surprised how many LONG lunch hours are taking place while you guys are worrying about city business.

[colin]

surely this can't be true, where is your husband right now Hillary?

[HillaryC]

See, thats exactly what I'm talking about. You are worried about my husband and you should be looking at YOUR wife and NOT me.

It's actually the safety and security of their families that they are putting first by worrying about taxes, police protection, and the leadership of the city.

No one will be going down! These people have their spots in the city and will have it for as long as they want. I don't believe we will ever have a person running this city that will be able to bring it back to what it once was. There is no turning back. The above people mentioned to go down have the right people in there corner and we are out of luck. Sorry. Hillary, you sure seem to know alot about what goes on during peoples lunch hours. Are you employed by a motel or a private investigations office?

[2002usmgrad]

I think she's the one in the hotel room, you know, kinda like that fourth person in the room with the controversial Indy photo, hehehe.

[HillaryC]

Oh. O.K. I get it boys. Just because I'm a strong women, you all are intimidated and have to make light of my comments. I have 3 degrees and I imagine I have a higher GPA than all of you combined. The only difference between us, is, I know whats going on at city hall AND during lunch hours here in Hattiesburg, and many include some of your wifes. Thats all I'm saying PIGS!

[2002usmgrad]

sooo you're the one the guys at the police station keep telling me about. Look sweetie, we need to sit down and have a nice little chat, it's time to get real, you can't come on here insulting our wives and not expect to have a little playful banter right back at ya. Now if you have a real point about what's going on at city hall, bring it on, but don't be getting personal for no reason.

[JB2379]

I can't take it any longer, so Hillary please tell us what your problem is. Do you think everyone on this board is wrong except for you? Better yet, do you really know what's going on in city hall? On this board, it doesn't matter how many degrees you have, we are all voicing our opinions and concerns equally. With me only having one degree, does that make your knowledgable about what's going on at city hall? I don' tthink so. So loosen up and say what you know instead of speaking between the lines. We would all like to know what you know about city hall, and please leave our wives out of this.

[HillaryC]

J.B. I guess you are a pig too just like ynotme and Redneckrouser. City Hall is conducting business as smooth as it has been in years. I don't know what you people think the Mayor or the Chief have done wrong. I'm just saying they have their finger on the pulse of local govenment much better than you all have on the pulse at home. The only thing you all are contributing to are helping the local economy of the motels in this town.
