Letter to WMC-TV

This letter is being written on our blog.  We will be sending an email to WMC-TV referring them to this site.


Dear WMC-TV:


We are writing to you to complain about 2 Tunica County incidents you reported on in Feb 2014. 


The first incident was about the arrest of our County Administrator, Michael Thompson and the second incident was concerning the warrant served on the business that is co-owned by our Board of Supervisors' Attorney, Ellis Pittman.  In both stories WMC-TV asked the public to stay tune for more on these developing stories.


Well, we've stayed tuned to your station and there has not been a follow-up story on either of the above cases.  Without follow-up, these "stay tuned" announcements amount to nothing more then character assignations on these two gentlemen.


May I refer you to two articles on this blog.  The first is on Fri, 7 May 2014, and talks about the incident with Michael Thompson.  Although this article does not state anything about an investigation into the arrest of Michael Thompson, our Board of Supervisors has voted to have an independent investigation about this incident.


The second articles is dated Sun, 9 Mar 2014.  This is a reproduction of a letter addressed to the Tunica County Board of Supervisors about the incident at Revelation Hospice in Clarksdale, MS.
Might WMC-TV question the expense and unnecessary use of helicopters and the number of armed agents?  Yes.  Did you?  No.
