Issue with the Tunica Times...AGAIN

This post is being written in response to a back page article in the 31 Jul 2015 issue of the Tunica Times.  Title: Employee appeals discharge.

In my opinion, this article is wrong on so many levels.  You could start with the Board of Supervisors' Meeting on 30 Jul 2015.  In this meeting, Supervisor Burnett, in his never ending tirade against Road Manager, Joe Eddie Hawkins, tried to bring up this personnel matter in open session.   Yada.  Yada. Yada.

And now this article in the Tunica Times.  At what point did a personnel matter become news?  Maybe when it's decided by TC how to settle this appeal?  Since when does telling one side of a story stop being news and starts being a manipulation of the public trust?  And right before an election no less.

Hey, the Tunica Times did get one thing right: "When Beat 4 Supervisor Henry Nickson offered to help get him a job, he was grateful."  And there you have it folks. The employee's Supervisor is Cedric Burnett.  Why didn't this employee go to his own Supervisor?  People are getting very tired of doing Cedric's job.

And not to miss anther opportunity to inform the public of what a fine job Burnett is doing for Beat 2, he voted against payroll...AGAIN!  Ya know, I'm willing to bet that Burnett was behind this Tunica Times story.
