More info from the Stennis Report

As has been previously reported by the Transparency Committee, we spent a good bit of time analyzing this study.  Our full report can be found at our blog under 3 Feb 2014.

Stennis compared Tunica County, MS with Credo Parrish, LA.  Both locations have gambling.  Tunica County has 11,000 residents.  Credo Parrish has 258,000 residents.  At the time of the report, Credo Parrish had 30 more employees then Tunica County.  Per capita, Tunica County has 23 times more employees then Credo Parrish!!! 

Think about what financial genius it took to overcome threse facts and not cut jobs.  Many thanks to all involved in this feat.  A special thank you to our County Administrator, Michael Thompson.
