Sun-Herald public records request

JJ filed a public records request for a copy of the public records requests filed by the Sun-Herald on the DMR case.  There are some interesting exchanges in the records posted below.

I like the way Anita Lee of the Sun Herald in one exchange referred to Auditor Pickering as "Chip". Lets hope Auditor Pickering's wife never decides to air any marital proceedings out like "Chips" wife did a few years ago in Madison county, spare us all the lurid details so to speak...

now that yoy mention it, I haven't heard from/about her or the kids in years. Do they still live here?

Is that all that was turned over to you KF? That is the complete extent of the communications they had regarding the public records request? No correspondence from March-August 2013? No correspondence before January 2013?

Nobody has mentioned that Mayor Billy Hewes' brother-in-law was one of the ones indicted! He was the one going around the coast in his unmarked state car putting up signs for Hewes when he ran for Lt. Governor! Where was Pickering then?

I asked for those filed in 2013.

all in the family said...

Billy Hewes is Joe Ziegler's BIL?

Wasn't Ziegler's wife paid by DMR contract to do ???

Hmmm. A public records request for records produced in response to a public records request. Quit riding coat tails.

11:57; Please explain 'unmarked state car'. That would not be legal (unless law enforcement) and how would you know anyway? Brothers in law of mayors and legislators don't have access to 'state cars'.

Joe Ziegler's wife was also employed @ the DMR. Its called the family,friends and associates program. Those that had the right connections were paid large sums of money for what they did. As an example Paul Byrd, who is the brother of Bill Walker's neighbor, was being paid $90,000+ annually to do light maintenance/carpenter work. Joe Runnels,Ms.AG attorney assigned to the DMR had two sons who were minors working at this agency making 11-12 dollars an hour to paddle around in a canoe. This still goes on at the DMR. Look how Joe Cloyd and Josh Gregory arranged a contract for PR work thru Horne. Is this because they are such good friends with Jamie Miller, the current DMR director, or was it given to them based on their political connections? An occasional fundraiser for people like Stacey Pickering keeps the conflict clause away.

Maybe you should stop reading JJ now since you can't understand the concept of why KF would seek the Sun Herald's request.

11:57: He was Chief of Staff for DMR - they didn't mark the car and used undercover tags to run on the SUV - Trust me, I have seen the paperwork associated with the vehicle. Good ole boys - Phil, Stacey, Josh, Scott, Malvaney, Zeigler, etc. They are still others they have under investigation such as Malvaney - his BP contract smells big time!

Is Hood implicated? I think I just saw where one of his employees had two sons employed by this bogus agency. Or were they performing a vital function and selected after an open application period with an impartial selection committee?

Was this place a money tree or a cash cow?

lol

This is JJ where "would not be legal" and "law enforcement" never go together. "Unless" or not.

What was it DMR used to do? Enforce some laws?

The public records that should be requested are the ones surrounding the ordering and construction of the skimmer boats as part of the BP oil spill cleanup. These boats were ordered by the Gov's office thru USES-George Malvaney. Millions were wasted and not one drop of oil skimmed. This involves not only Malvaney but also Haley Barbour, Bill Walker and Trudy Fisher. They will say this was BP money and USES was their contractor but was it structured this way on purpose to hide the money trail? How much did USES-Malvaney pocket? Did Bill and Scott Walker benefit financially? Where are these boats now? Needs to be looked into by the FEDs because the state officials will not report on there own.

The State of Mississippi. Making BP look clean by comparison.

Imaginary Gunshots On The Stack said...

JJ can be silly when he wants to. A 'chief of staff' for a state agency head cannot legally drive an unmarked car claiming he's involved in law enforcement. He's a glorified personnel clerk who juggles requests for employment for God's sake. JJ or not.

Everything about this agency (under this management team) has been bogus and illegal.

Democrats were corrupt for the years they were in control and the GOP complained.

African Americans complained that whites in power were corrupt.

So, the GOP and African Americans get into power and see the gravy train and voila! become just as corrupt but not as experienced in being corrupt.

Party loyalists and racist scream, " The other guy was worse" and recite examples.

Did mothers stop teaching that worse behavior by others doesn't justify doing the wrong thing?

Hasn't anyone noticed this isn't working?!

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.
