To Attorney General Jim Hood: The citizens of Tunica County need your help. Your Department has been sent a report from MBI. This Investigation resulted in Jacqueline Dishmon-Boykin being accused of 2 counts of voter fraud. Citizens from our County have written to your department asking for action. We need your help and we need the help of the MS Secretary of State to ensure that we have fair and honest elections in our County. Nov 3 is rapidly approaching and without you taking action, Jacqueline Dishmon-Boykin will remain on our ballot and if she happens to be elected, she cannot be seated.
To Wes Ryals: Where have you been in helping to make sure Boykin is not on the 3 Nov ballot? Or for that matter, since you are well aware of this situation, why didn't you step in to help? Rightfully, you should be facing Louise Linzy on 3 Nov. Wes, I'm disappointed in your inaction.
For Tunica County Sheriff: I have been an outspoken opponent of KC Hamp for a good while. Recently, he dismissed his command staff. In doing so, without hearings, he threw away the investment Tunica County has in these officers. Then at the last Board of Supervisors' Meeting he gave raises to a bunch of his employees. Hello Hamp, it's election season and your actions could be construed as buying votes. Out on the campaign trail, I've heard from more than a few people that there was a meeting in your department to plan the entrapment of Michael Thompson. If anyone knows this to not be true, sing out and I will remove this statement but I am hearing the same story from more than a few people. The courts said Michael Thompson was entrapped by your department and yet you won the Primary? And where was my community, the white community, when it was ruled that Thompson was entrapped? Did you even utter a peep? We need a Sheriff who is going to step in and make the necessary changes and not play games with other's lives.
I'm voting for Dennis Allen.
Now onto the Supervisors:
Beat 5: This is another race that has been manipulated. Let's start with Craig Jones. His Homestead in Desoto County was presented in Court. End of statement. Then there is Curley Matthews. The Tunica Times and others in the white community were pushing Matthews to run against Rev. Daley.* I guess their thought process was that if Matthews could beat Rev. Daley then it was a shoe-in for Billy Pegram. Well, Matthews didn't beat Rev. Daley. Here's the bottom line: Billy Pegram is one of the former Supervisors who didn't raise taxes when the gaming revenue started going down. Billy Pegram is a former Supervisor who supported building all of these facilities without feasibility studies when they should have been building infrastructure for our citizens.
*Referring to the highlighted and struckthrough sentence above and at the request of The Tunica Times through their lawyer, I am retracting the above sentence and submitting the following for their approval:
It appears to me that Meg Coker, editor of the Tunica Times, and others in the white community are supporting Curley Matthews against Rev. Daley.
Quite frankly, I don't know why a resident of Beat 2 is so involved in Beat 5 issues. Be that as it may, this is how I came to my opinion. After the 4 Aug 2015 election, Matthews examined the precinct boxes for Beat 5. In attendance, were two Beat 2 residents, Meg Coker and Scott Rhines and the candidate, Curley Matthews as well as a representative for Rev. Daley. At the DEC hearing on 3 Sep 2015, Curley Matthews appeared with Meg Coker, Scott Rhines and Chuck Graves. A report of this meeting is on the front and back pages of the Tunica Times 11 Sep 2015 issue reported by Meg Coker. Throughout this recorded report there are quotes and/or statements by Meg Coker, Scott Rhines, Chuck Graves, Joe Eddie Hawkins, Ayanna Hawkins, Dolly Hudson, Curley Matthews, Mark Hudson, Bob Tuchel and myself. On 24 Sep 2015 Meg Coker and Curley Matthews appeared on Channel 3 Memphis talking about our 4 Aug 2015 Primary. The interview was recorded at the office of the Tunica Times.
My question now is this: If there is no support of Curley Matthews as stated above then why aren't the two Beat 2 residents helping both Curley Matthews and Rev. Daley? None of us knows who the disenfranchised voters voted for....they could have voted for Curley Matthews or Rev. Daley.
I am always open to correcting statements if my statements are giving the wrong impression. This blog is all about my opinions and my research of public documents. I don't think it was necessary for The Tunica Times to have this letter sent to me. I would suggest that The Tunica Times take a good look in the mirror when they make such accusations. If this statement is not good enough for you, sing out, and I will make every effort to make The Tunica Times happy.

Please vote for Rev. Daley.
Beat 4: And again, this is another race that was manipulated. Craig Harris had a residency problem and was not allowed on the ballot. So, who is trying to run against Sonny Nickson? Another former Supervisor. This Jackson guy was on the BOS from 2000 to 2003. Guess what happened during these years? The BOS issued a $30 million bond for the Arena; a $3 million bond for the Museum and a $15 million bond for the Airport Expansion. At the very least, couldn't they have paid for the Museum? Our income that year was $44,168,342.00. And you want back on the BOS? Jackson, you don't even come to BOS's Meetings. Who put you up to run? The guy who has your campaign sign in front of his funeral home?
Please vote for Sonny Nickson.
Beat 3: Phillis Williams has done a good job for Tunica County.
Please vote for Phillis Williams.
Beat 2: Now what can I say? I've worked my fingers to the bone researching and reporting to you about our County Government. Lots of people don't like it because I've exposed the wrong doing and they don't like me because I've upset their apple cart. Too bad. There isn't one candidate who is running against me that is involved in our government. The white community is pushing a guy who is not involved but he has the landed gentry behind him with all of their money and their signs and their dinners.... Remember this is the same group of people who got us into this financial mess. They have lots of property and they don't want to pay taxes. So, what is their solution? In my opinion these folks are selfish beyond reason. They want what they want and the rest of us can just live with it and their decisions. Isn't it time we all crawl out of Sugar Ditch? Together?
So what are you going to do Tunica County? Are you going to vote to move forward and start paying off the huge debt left to us by former Supervisors?
I'm asking for your vote to be the next Supervisor for Beat 2.
I've done the work.
I've put in the time.
And I'm ready to serve.
VOTE FOR TRANSPARENCY
ELECT: BARBARA R. TUCHEL
SUPERVISOR BEAT 2
