Well it appears after making a public mess of himself…..the mayor has convinced the council to dip into the reserve funds.
The council voted yesterday 3-2 to borrow more than $3 million from the city’s $7 million reserve funds.
Of course Melton croonies: Bluntson, Tillman and Stokes voted for this measure. Barrett-Simon and Weill voted against it, […]
Mychel Bell, one of the so called Jena 6 has been released on a $25,000 bail. He walked out of jail just a few minutes ago and Al Sharpton was there.
Say what you will of Sharpton, I’m glad he is following this case through.
Also the DA in Jena said today that he would not seek […]

This idiot said he couldn’t get over the fact that the people (blacks) that dined in Sylvia’s restaurant acted or behave the same as people in Italian restaurants in white suburbs.
This man has really crossed the line….He is a complete and utter […]

I’m back on this issue of crime because it is out of control. Everyday something happens and while I am smart enough to know that you can’t blame crime on one single individual, I think something has to happen and more people have to take the blame.
Look at what has happened in Precinct 4. This […]
I’m Back from JENA….
It is 7:06 p.m. ironically, this is almost the time I lost my cellular service and internet service in Jena, La.
Today was an amazing experience for me, as I have never rallied or marched before. I met some amazing students from Jackson State University. Students that are in involved in the NAACP, […]
2:25 a.m. I am getting dressed and awaiting my ride with Dr. Janice Neal-Vincent. Janice is a freelance writer for The Mississippi Link Newspaper. I am so excited, I didn’t even get an hour’s worth of sleep. We’ve been told to wear black, and to not spend any money in Jena. So I spent a […]
