Democracy 601
Welcome to my blog. I’m new and will most likely make mistakes on occasion, so please bare with me. Or keep your clothes on if that’s really your preference. And if it is, I understand completely. But if you bare with me, at least enjoy yourself.
But don’t let the new mayor of Jackson catch you. He doesn’t approve of private practice of liberty. In fact, since his so-called mandate, he’s been very active in showing his constituents how to run city hall and every other public agency. I can just see the coalition of NE Jackson Republicans and West Jackson Democrats rolling their eyes and shaking their heads over their …uh… success.
So far der Fuhrer... ‘scuse me… the mayor has shown he would prefer to run all public agencies single handedly by forcing out all individuals serving on boards and commissions around the metro area, by taking steps that are clearly against public procedure and city ordinances, and by coming dangerously close to eliminating due process in a number of areas. Democracy in actung! er…action.
And speaking of Republicans and Democrats, would it be possible to squeeze out one or two more special legislative sessions before the end of the year? Let’s see how many times the governor and Mississippi Legislature antagonize each other and the tax payers. What I really love is that they can’t agree on anything. No, that’s not fair. They did agree on the beef plant before it sucked us all dry, they agreed on Medicaide suspensions until old folks started dropping nasty notes on 'em, and they agreed on grants and loans to a medical company just before they laid off 60 workers anyway. Yes, the governor and legislature are so in touch with the citizens, not to mention reality.
But let’s not leave out Mississippi’s courts. We have a whole host of “officers of the court” being investigated and tried down on the Gulf Coast. And this wasn’t supposed to happen after we removed partisan politics from the election process.
By now you notice that I complain about both parties. Well, that’s just my way. It’s not that I don’t like politics or government. Guess I just have a problem with politicians or, more accurately, I don’t like lawyers too much. Not that non-lawyer types aren’t cable of messing up a good government project or activity. Right, Frank?

Gulf Coast isn't in the 601.
