The downstairs Board Room was packed. I am very happy that this is the last time we will have to put up with the foolishness from the current Beat 2 Supervisor.
1. The BOS are trying to get something done about the tour boat that is docked at the River Park. The tour boat has not been operating for several years. The County's contract for the dock is between the County and Fitzgerald's. The Board's attorney suggested that he write a letter to Fitzgerald's to open the conversation as to how to proceed. The Beat 2 Supervisor objected. At this point, I believe the Beat 2 Supervisor's only real objection is to try to prove that he is smarter than everyone else. Did he not see that the audience was snickering at his antics? The rest of the Board voted to send the letter.
2. Then there was TCUD. The Beat 4 Supervisor suggested appointing Tomeka Cotton to replace her late husband on this board. During the conversation we learned that 3 of TCUD's board members were appointed by the current Beat 2 Supervisor. I should have realized this and written about this before now. So, this is my take on the TCUD board. This oversite needs to be corrected as soon as possible. TCUD is in financial trouble. Have these board members been taking advise from the Beat 2 Supervisor?
And here is the big story:
3. The Board of Supervisors' Attorney presented guidance from both the Attorney General's office and the MS Secretary of State's office. It was explained that the Primary Election for the Beat 5 Supervisor position was invalidated by order of Judge Lackey. Since the Primary was invalidated the General Election for Beat 5 should not have been held. And Supervisor McKinley Daley will be a holdover Supervisor and will keep his seat until a Special Election is called. Supervisor Daley was sworn into office right after the BOS's Meeting.
And the Beat 2 Supervisor objected to this too saying that Billy Pegram had already been sworn into office by the Chancery Clerk when he showed up at her office with his grandson Wes Ryals. You see what I've been saying? Some people in this County think they can just bully the rest of us. Why did the Beat 2 Supervisor object to the guidance of the AG and SOS? IMHO, because he is behind a bunch of the upset in our County. Think about it. What difference does it make to him who sits in the Beat 5 Seat?
So, here it is: Billy Pegram, what was your purpose in getting sworn in before the official date? Wes Ryals, I told you to your face that I would be watching you. I am disappointed that you would support your grandfather or anyone else in this stunt. Wes, you haven't even been sworn into office. Why would you taint your reputation by participating in this fake swearing into office? Gov. Bryant, you have caused a mess in Tunica County by not setting a date for the Special Election. Why did you do that?
Beat 5, McKinely Daley is your Supervisor; NOT Billy Pegram.
