Tunica County Courthouse:
The meeting started with a presentation from the company hired by the Board of Supervisors, Bridges and Watson, to plan our redistricting. If you didn't catch it at the 6 Jan 2011 Public Hearing or any of the Board of Supervisors' Meetings since then, it was made perfectly clear at this 9 May 2011 meeting that the Board of Supervisors' plan was to make sure each incumbent Supervisor remained in his own District.
Speaking for Tunians for Transparency in Government, I believe we made our point. This redistricting has nothing to do with them (the current Board of Supervisors) and everything to do with us, the citizens of Tunica County, Mississippi.
Let's be clear about which Supervisors attended the meeting. The District 1 Supervisor was there. The District 2 Supervisor was there. The District 4 Supervisor was there. The District 5 Supervisor was not there due to a death in his family. Oh, I missed the District 3 Supervisor. The District 3 Supervisor was not there. The District 3 Supervisor was not in attendance at the 6 Jan 2011 Redistricting Public Hearing either.
