Nothing against Hunter—he sounds qualified, and I hope he succeeds—but I am still disappointed Tamika Jenkins isn't at Select Hinds anymore. I saw her give updates to Hinds' board of supervisors several times and was always impressed.

Voters defeated Moran in 2023—then, in 2024, Tate nominated Moran to the parole board, and the Senate confirmed. In the Senate, Moran repeatedly voted against allowing inmates to be eligible for parole. billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2024/pdf/histo… billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2021/pdf/histo… billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2020/pdf/histo…

Hattiesburg isn't in Bennie G. Thompson's district, but the rest of Mississippi's Congressional delegation is too afraid of voters to hold town halls, so Bennie services the entire state all by himself.

When Pete Buttigieg spent a day in the Delta and Jackson last year, Congressman Mike Ezell—who had personally thanked Pete for Pete's historic support of Congressman Mike Ezell's district—went on WLOX and claimed Pete didn't care about red districts like Ezell's. I checked, and Ezell's claim was a lie.

It would be great if #MSleg members from the coast decided that they should not neglect the Delta and Jackson the way Congressman Mike Ezell falsely accused Pete Buttigieg of neglecting the coast.

Hattiesburg isn't in Bennie's district, but when Forrest General doesn't get the representation it deserves from Mike Ezell, Bennie is plenty generous to sit down and talk with them.

FG's best case would be to have a better rep of their own. Ezell's district can't be lost to a Democrat, but Ezell can lose to an indie. Just have to find one who's popular and competent. May need to modify said indie's approach to public safety a bit, but otherwise, we good.

If your mayor is up for re-election next week, please be sure to check if s/he has been reporting your city's crime data. If not, demand that your mayor explain why. If so, look closer and see if what your mayor says about crime matches what your city's crime data shows.

IMO organizations that receive large sums of money either directly from the state or through state tax-credit programs should have whistleblower policies, esp. after the welfare scandal. Perhaps Shad White OSA can add that to his legislative recommendations.

Just came across this new study at MDOT: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/4aced2… Sounds good! Brad White Commissioner Willie Simmons I'd add more public meetings to the schedule, though. I think you can get lots of great input if you get the word out some more, but I hadn't seen this before.

There are currently 332 tax-forfeited properties in Vicksburg. That's a heckuva lot of blight. Vicksburg was the poster-child example of poor, rural towns that Trump's Opportunity Zones tax incentives were going to revitalize. sos.ms.gov/tax-forfeited-…
