Well, that didn't last long.
Tonight at the Board of Supervisors' Meeting, the Healthcare Authority's recommended candidate was hired at $105K. And it was decided to keep the old CEO for a period of no more then 60 days to transfer paperwork, etc.
Another stipulation is that the new CEO move to Tunica County in the next 24 months. Oh, here we go again. So, she'll get a PO Box or use someone else's address...we've seen this play before.
I know of one person who already lives in Tunica who is qualified for this job. So, what is the problem?
I am surprised that Supervisor Dunn did not push to hire the Tunica County resident as Dunn knows this person very well. Let's see, Dunn you can hire an ex-con because he is a friend of yours but you say no to hiring a friend who is an upstanding citizen of Tunica County?
What about you Burnett? What's your excuse?
To Nickson, Daley and Williams, you have made a mistake. At some point the three of you are going to have to stand up to Dunn and Burnett and in this case the Healthcare Authority and do what is right for the citizens you represent.
What was gained by hiring a highly paid individual who does not live in Tunica County? I have an answer for you: Just about as much was gained tonight as has been gained in Tunica County by that dang pipeplant.
