Do any of these documents show how much they pay their employees/directors? It seems like some of this money could be siphoned off for personal use or these people could pay themselves a high salary that is unjustified. How are these people held accountable to the people they solicit money from?

10:02 - Before you asked your question did you even try reading the documents, or are you from the millineum generation that expects someone else to do all your work for you while you ear cheers on the couch?

Try going to the page that is headed "COMPENSATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS". There you can find what these organizations pay their "OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS". No, it does list the salary of each and every employee that shovels out the dog shit, or that actually draws blood, or whatever the non-profit does, but it provides a listing of each of the folks that YOU ARE ASKING ABOUT. By doing this little bit of work on your own you can see whether they are "siphoning off fir personal use" or "paying themselves a high salary that (you feel) is unjustified".

You need someone to come over and click on the Scribd page and scroll down for you, to save you the trouble? Or maybe you think it would be much better if KF or one of his readers would go to these pages that are posted and make you a chart of that specific information so you don't need to waste your precious time policing reading through them before you make what I am sure are your extensive charitable contributions.

Dang 8:17 - What if you knew 10:02 isn't that proficient with negotiating a spreadsheet or multiple linked pages and is using an i-phone he's basically unfamiliar with (like me).

Can you imagine being a student in YOUR classroom (not that you'd ever qualify to have one) and raising your hand to ask a question?

Well said, 8:44.

Next one of the whiny trolls will say you are KF commenting anonymously. LOL

MAS has almost $700k in “royalties” yet they list no income producing assets other than cash. Wonder if that is disguised public funds.

Dang 8:44, I didnt know that JJ was a classroom! Next time I will be cognizant and treat readers like 10:02 as the 3rd grade intelluctual level you suggest they are.

Trouble with handling "spreadsheets"? I might could understand that, but all that is required to answer the question posed is "Scrolling down" - something that will have to be done to get down this far in the comments to read this response.

I stand by my point - and it would certainly apply to kids in my classroom. Do a little work on your part first; read the material; try some research. If then you haven't found your answer, raise your hand and ask your question.

But I suppose you are on of those helicopter moms that do most of your kids homework for them, as well as their projects. Thus, my original comment.

10:02 here, I was specifically looking at the one for Cheshire Abbey. Maybe I missed it, but I went through and checked again and still didn’t see one for officer and director compensation.

Kingfish said...

My understanding of the law is that the employees who make over $50,000 per year have to be listed as well as their compensation. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

If all these organizations are exempt from paying taxes/nonprofit, then why is Cheshire Abbey's paperwork different from the others?

whatever Cheshire pays Christy it is not enough. These ladies go without food, enter tough 'hoods', out in cold, rain, putting in long hours always begging to cover food and vet bills. the stray and unwanted dog situation in Jackson is horrible. it is a 'calling' i could not do it.

Three or four weeks ago, on a Saturday night, Chrissy Chesire spent 4 hours trying to coax two very frightened dogs into kennels so that their owner would finally go to the hospital. The woman had a severe infection but refused to get help until the dogs were taken by a rescue that would find them homes. The dogs were finally caught and their owner went to UMMC via ambulance and had her leg amputated several days later. The neighbor had been trying to get help for the woman for months. The woman would have died if Chrissy had not gone out there on a moment's notice and without hesitation to get the dogs to safety.

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.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets.
