11 Jun 2015 Board of Supervisors' Meeting

Oh, you didn't realize the BOS met tonight.  The monthly meeting should be on Mon, 15 Jun 2015 at 5p.  However, I understand the Supervisors are going somewhere next Mon and they don't like to meet on Fri so they met tonight.  The Supervisors voted to change the meetings for the rest of the Summer to 9a in the morning.  Wonder if they realized this would only work for the last meeting in Jun and all of Jul because 2 Supervisors will be going back to school in Aug.

After the meeting I talked to a few of the Supervisors to say that their meetings needed to be held for the convenience of the public.  The Beat 3 Supervisor said: "Mrs. Tuchel, look how many people are not here tonight."  Really?  Hello, you all keep changing the meetings!!! What don't you get about that? What do you expect?  People are expecting your meeting to be on the 15th of the month.  Maybe this was one reason tonight's census was low.  How in the heck are we supposed to keep up with meetings when you all keep changing their times and dates? You are elected to serve not to serve at your convenience.

Disappointed in this thoughtlessness.

Next subject: TCUD: What a mess!  Years ago, when TCUD was set up, their bond included a provision stating if TCUD couldn't pay their bond, the County would pay it for them.  Really? Whose bright idea was this?  AND don't go saying "well, we didn't think the gaming revenue would ever go so low." And now they are asking us to pay their bills also?  Really?

 Additionally, TCUD is paying $2500 dollars a month for rent.  What exactly is the hold-up here?  Move them to vacant space in a County owned facility and save the money.  How about doing this tomorrow?

Excuse me a minute while I go next door and ask my neighbor for grocery money because I just can't live within my means.  Back in a minute.

Okay, I'm back...

The County Administrator asked the BOS to meet with the TCUD Board to come up with a workable financial plan between the County and TCUD.  But oh no.  Let's not listen to the County Administrator let's do what James Dunn says HE wants done.  Dunn asked Nickson and Daley to meet with the TCUD Board to work on the problems.  Hello James, Michael asked for the entire Board to work with TCUD.  You and Burnett were members of the BOS when TCUD was set-up.  Why aren't you helping to clean-up the mess the two of you helped to create?  Why wasn't Phillis Williams asked to help?

I'm being quiet. Saying a prayer: "Dear Heavenly Father, please bless us by removing James Dunn from office in the upcoming election and help us elect Marilyn Young to the MS House.  Amen"

And then there is the RiverPark.  Oh goody.  Until this evening, I did not realize that the riverboat that is docked at RiverPark is not paying the light bill AND it is docked there for free.  Thank you Mary for bringing this to our attention.

I want to know who was on the BOS when this intelligent decision was made.  We know for sure Dunn was there because he has been on the BOS since 1984.  Don't know about Burnett.  He became a Supervisor in 1999.

I don't know how Michael and Ellis do it.  Every time they turn around they are faced with some screwy contract or agreement.

Hey there Tunica, In the upcoming election, we will be holding the future of our County in our hands.  It is time to send both Dunn and Burnett to the house.
