Kenneth Stokes & Pete Perry FOOD FIGHT!!!

Kenneth Stokes and Pete Perry went at it today at the regular meeting of the Hinds County Board of Supervisors.  I'll write up the story in the morning but if you are bored, here is the video.  The exchange occurs in the second clip during the first ten minutes.  Mr. Stokes told the Election Commission to take the county to court if it wanted the county to pay for the primaries for the supervisor special elections in Districts 2 and 4 in September.  The board voted 3-2 to defer action until it received a written opinion from the attorney general.

it's so touching to see that some of our supervisors have, all of a sudden, acquired fiscal responsibility. that would have come in handy when they were spending $140,000.00 on a video conferencing system, tens of thousands on new cars, ipads, iphones, ....etc....

Gubment can not go in the red. Gubment can not spend money they don't have. You can say conflict of laws all you want to, to someone that can read it. Caint do it, caint do it. You can talk to you turn black.

I see the problem. As many have said, Jackson and Hinds County are lost.

Doesn't get much funnier than when the serial police impersonating supervisor tells everyone he wants to stick to the "issues".

Surreal. We're actually watching Milton Berle, Red Skelton and Red Foxx playing out a 1962 script. We all been fooled.

What do you see as the stategery here Kingfish? I thought the Wild Samoans were on board with the concept of having primaries for these specials to increase the odds that Donkeys would get elected. Now it looks like they are working to sabotage the primaries by conspiring to miss the ballot deadlines.

The Police Impersonating Supervisor from Hinds County District 1:

"Good morning. I am your instructor for the morning. I'm Lieutenant Robert Graham of the Jackson Police Department and I'd like to talk for an hour. I'm going to move pretty quickly about a subject that is very near and dear to my heart. The subject is called "Officer Down". For over 35 years I spent in the dispatch center as a dispatcher I'm a little but unusual type of police officer. The reason why I'm kind of unusual is every time the chief would put me on the street, I would mess up bad enough for them to put me back in dispatch.

Robert Graham was a civilian employee of JPD. Robert Graham was never a certified law enforcement officer and was never put on the street by any Chief. Robert Graham is a police impersonating liar.

Maybe Phil Fisher should pay for the special election. Why did he run for Supervisor if he knew he would abandon the seat? He is a great guy, but if you take party and race out of it, he did cost the county this money.

Suggestion for the website....it's hard for most viewers to watch 20 to 60 minute videos in search of the 30 second fireworks. Would love to know where the good parts are. Maybe we can take a wiki approach to this

Maybe August 6, 2013 at 9:06 AM also thinks that Doug Anderson's estate should pay since he died in office and now is costing the county money.

August 6, 2013 at 9:06 AM = idiot

Tell you what 9:08. You run with the ball and take the first pass at the wiki. You can start with the videos above. Let us know when you've got the beta complete for our review. Thanks.

@ 9:06 maybe Phil fisher could split the cost with the estate of Doug Anderson. What a stupid suggestion!

Anonymous said...

9:06 - by your theory, should Doug Anderson's family pay for the election in District 2? He knew he was in bad health when he ran again in 2011. Sorry to talk about the dead, but it shows how stupid your comment is.

Robert Graham, working with and thru his stooge, Kenny Stokes, appear to be trying to convolute the special election required in November so that Graham's hand-picked appointees can keep their position for another year. By trying to stop the primaries, they can throw the special election into a fray since the filing deadlines will have passed. That way, Graham can keep his all black ("you can say it 'til you turn black" - Stokes) board for another year. At least, that is his plan. Too bad Perry is there to stop his crap.

Can somebody please point me to the section in the Mississippi Code that authorizes primary elections before a special election?

I just don't ever remember that being possible. I don't see how a primary election can bar a candidate from filing qualifying papers to run in the special election and declaring himself a Democrat or Republican. As I recall, multiple persons of all parties are permitted to run with their party labels in special elections, and there is no authority to call primary elections beforehand.

If that is the case, then the primary elections themselves would be unlawful, and the county would be barred from paying for them, as they would be nullities.

Somebody please help me locate the code section that authorizes primary elections in this instance.

I found a section that allows parties to call primaries even in special elections, as long as the vacancy is a county or county district office. It's 23-15-841.

Apparently, it's almost never been used. Up until the recent Supreme Court gutting of Section 4, the parties would have to get pre-clearance before they could schedule such primaries, but now that is no longer an impediment.

After watching those videos, I felt like I had just visited the old monkey palace at the Jackson Zoo.

Pete Perry said...

JPH, the Hinds County Democratic Party, in their letter to the BOS attorney, requested that he proceed to file the necessary paperwork for Section V preclearance. However events overtook their letter with SCOTUS ruling that Mississippi (and other states/areas) should no longer be discriminated against. But since 23-15-833 had been precleared by DOJ years ago, it is not clear that conducting an election primary in accordance with a previously approved statute would require such preclearance.

Is John Pittman Hey talking to himself?

John Pittman Hey said...

Nope, but I found the answer myself after posting my question, so I wanted to post a follow up.

Can we get an AG opinion on this dumbass board?

Anonymous said...

who would have ever thought that Peggy Calhoun would one day be the best supervisor in Hinds County? God help us all.

Can we get an AG opinion on this dumbass board?

No, dumbass opinions come from the Hinds County Board -- specifically two members of that board.

Haven't you figured that out yet or are you a dumbass too?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
