I thought I wasn’t going to make a new post until next year (smile) but stuff is just happening……
Roger Wicker has been appointed to fill the U.S. Senator’s seat left vacant when Trent Lott resigned. Wicker will serve until a special election is held sometime next year….
Also, I’m still waiting on the saga between Barbour […]
Sources have told me that Tyrone Lewis has been demoted from Deputy Chief and removed from the Police Training Academy. According to these sources he has been busted down to the rank of Sgt.
This is essentially being knocked down three ranks.
As more information becomes available, I will share…..next question…When will Chandler be fired????
Barring any major disaster (over the next few days), what do you think about 2007? I for one am so ready for 2008 and what awaits! But as I sit back and reflect on 2007, I can’t help but to think about how disappointed I am with/in Frank Melton and the direction this city is […]
I couldn’t believe it when I read it. On Friday city council-woman Margaret Barrett-Simon was pulling up in front of city hall and just behind her was Frank Melton and his bodyguards in the infamous black Chrysler 300, tinted windows and all…they proceeded to turn the siren on and flash the blue lights…Barrett-Simon was shaken […]

All agreed that a change must take place….there was a clear difference in terms of who and what would […]
Looks like Trent Lott it still causing problems and is determined to go out with a bang!!! Lott officially resigned at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday during the session. One wonders why so late in the day and why before the session officially ended.
His resignation may create a court room showdown.
Hood said Barbour should call a special […]
During yesterday’s council meeting, the council on a 4-3 vote delivered Melton a double blow by refusing to give Recio his near $30,000.00 raise and along the same lines refused to hire outside legal counsel for Melton.
You guessed it the four: McLemore, Barrett-Simon, Crisler and Weill…the three: Bluntson, Stokes and Tillman.
