Wow. Aren't the municipal utility boards in most towns the same as the Boards of Aldermen? I think our aldermen serves as the utility board and make $1000 per month for everything.

What are the names of the current CMU board members?

Anonymous said...

They also get PERS retirement and health insurance. Along with the monthly pay. Very lucrative.

They are all crooks.

The only way this ends is if the authorities remove the corruption! Start with Daphne Sims. She is a virus on the taxpayers of canton. Appointed her cousin Dorthy Harris to School Board, her uncle Hosea Anderson to School Board and her Uncle Cleveland Anderson to CMU. Oh not to mention she voted to hire her son to work for the City!!! Daphne is corrupt!!

2 meetings a month for 2 hours is all they do. That’s $250/hr. Same as Barbara Blackmon hourly rate she be charging the people of canton. I guess the commissioners feel like since we got our state senator for our attorney the DA, FBI and Auditor won’t bother investigating.

This must be a joke? Lake Caroline can’t afford higher utility bills.

Health Insurance? That’s is crazy

Where is Michael Guest DA? Time to stop running for Congress for 5 min and tell us voters here in Madison County that you are aware of these problems and are doing something? Hello?

Michael Guest is too busy in Rankin County to care about what goes on in The land of milk & Honey.

@2:29 That is why John Noble was willing to sell his soul to any bullcrap they wanted to pull at CMU. He was scared of losing the health insurance for himself and his wife. So he went along and was a party to any shenanigans they wanted to pull.

2:36 3:03 that would be State Auditor,Stacey Pickering, job if their is anything afoot, not the local DA.

Nothing will happen.

Nobody cares about Canton and all of the homeboys and sistas know it.

The reporting is to be commended, but its really a waste of time.

More comments about the Canton utility board salary than there are about the MHA scam going on at the legislature. Tells us something about this blog's readers

Canton needs a good house cleaning! Starting with CMU!

Someone needs to file a complaint with the state for all of the corruption going on in Canton!

Agreed 4:09. What's 300 million compared to $1k a month?

Anonymous said...

3:05 PM, you SERIOUSLY have NO idea what you're talking about. I'd watch that slander.

Anonymous said...

Don’t worry residents inside the city of canton. All new fees for utilities being discussed at CMU are being paid for by residents that are outside the city limits.

Anonymous said...

Do y’all realize most of the people living inside canton live below the poverty level. Shame on the leaders at CMU for requesting a raise.

Didn't Pass Is Insufficient Info said...

"Your honorable correspondents" states 'it didn't pass'. How about more information:

Was a motion made and by whom?

Was there a second and by whom?

Did the motion die for lack of a second?

Was there discussion after the second?

Was there a vote and what was the vote?

Why is it that city after city in Mississippi governed by Democrats are economic messes?

Anonymous said...

I'm not sure these appointed people are covered by insurance and PERS. How about some clarification on that.

Anonymous said...

@7:14 clarify all you want. They are covered by PERS and health insurance. Check on it if you don't believe me.

Anonymous said...

For the dunce at 9:41...I'm 7:14. That's why I asked for clarification. I didn't ask for opinion. But thanks.

Oh....how would you suggest I 'check on it'?

Anonymous said...

@9:08 Call an ex-board member and ask them if they got PERS retirement while on the CMU board. I called several and they all told me that they got PERS retirement. I know one that is almost 90 and he still draws a small check from PERS for his time spent on the CMU board many years ago. He lives north of Canton on a lake, so that should narrow it down for you.

And go to Sulm's and ask Erin Noble if John got health insurance.

Anonymous said...

Health Insurance..... Thats only the tip of the iceberg. The actually CONTINUE to get Health Insurance AFTER they are no long on the CMU board. Its crazy what they have gotten away with all these years. However, I think they have pissed of the right person this time and he is going to take them all down.

Anonymous said...

There is a petition going around in Lake Caroline requesting an investigation into CMU expenditures. Seems the utility bills in Lake Caroline have gotten out of control. I guess so when the Commissioners are paying personal bills with public money. Oh, and have y'all heard about the money CMU paid Kenny Wayne Jones in exchange for his resignation?? Six Figures in severance for 12 months work. DAMN

Anonymous said...

@1:47pm I'm going to look into that. Who do you know is still getting health insurance even though they are not still serving as CMU Commissioners? John Noble you say? Why let me check that out.

Anonymous said...

The CMU Commissioners deserve a raise!!!!! Stealing is hard work and high risk. They need hazard pay. Ain't that right Eric Gilkey.

Anonymous said...

10:53; Not all of us have your contacts and superb investigative skills. Just as somebody above asked who these members are, I have no idea who used to serve on this Board or who among them lives on a lake north of Canton. And if somebody were to ask me about my benefits in a prior job I'd tell them to kiss my ass.

By the way, the PERS office will not answer the question and neither will the people who eventually answer the phone at CMU.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
