I'd be surprised if any serious state charges against Fill materialize. It will probably all come down to how interested the US Attorney is.
I'm sure useful idiot Shad White will ACTIVELY investigatethismore old ladies at the welcome center turning in 2 extra hours of overtime.
And here is example 3,592,402 of why we need local journalism. The national talking heads that misrepresent and create division while commenting on already known issues is not helpful to improving our country. Local journalism is helpful.
Wow. You outdid yourself with that one. Guy has saved the state untold millions of dollars (of actual misused dollars, so there's no excuse) and you hate him because he's conservative.I'm sure useful idiot Shad White will ACTIVELY investigatethismore old ladies at the welcome center turning in 2 extra hours of overtime.

Not only that, you use a term that's been almost solely used from liberal socialistic groups all throughout time.
Only a truly warped brain can conjure up the things you do. It's probably more simple, just angry 'I know you are but what am I' type nonsense.
I'm conservative to the core, and dorndog is right. Shad is a useful idiot. I know a lot of the inner workings of how he was placed in that position. Stacy Pickering started asking some uncomfortable questions of some people, and the power brokers moved him out of there and placed a safe pawn in that office. Shad isn't a dummy, though. He knows he's got to appear to be "for the people", so he goes after quantity, instead of quality. He will only go after low hanging fruit. And that's the way his masters want it.
We have so many people in this state that live in conditions most of us cannot imagine. Their homes aren't safe, they don't have reliable transportation, jobs close to home are scarce, and a lot of these small towns are 20 minutes to even a grocery store.
These are the people that our government officials steal from. Like this guy in Tunica County.

BINGO.
There already has been, for the most part. Only people left are the rich folks and the poor folks.There needs to be a mass evacuation of the Delta. There are very few decent jobs and there will likely never be any decent jobs there. Up through the early 90s, there were small factories scattered around, (taking advantage of cheap labor, low taxes and little regulation), but NAFTA and favorable trade deals with the Chicoms killed most of that.
Local journalism is helpful, but who is going to pay for it? Need local businesses to fund real reporting, but the problem is a lot of the local businesses benefit from the corruption.

This really is end times. I've agreed with glfr and dorn in a week's span of time
This is mild stuff. Mississippi is as, if not more so, corrupt than Louisiana. From the top to the bottom. I've seen it first hand. Representatives don't go to Jackson for their $22 K a year salary. It goes all the way down to county elected officials, too, though. Haley B was/is a scourge on this state
Phil is a Haley Barbour underling. So is Lynn Fitch. So is Shad White. So is Tate Reeves, for that matter. Nothing will happen to Phil on the state level, and Haley wields enough power on the federal level that nothing will happen to him from the US Attorney's office.

When you say "government", who do you mean? People love to throw that catch all out there, but people come and go in the government all the time. Do you mean elected officials? Local, state or federal? Government workers?Look, politics are like wrasslin'. It's all about the appearance. The government is greed driven and takes our money for their own. They just use the press to give the appearance of do-goodery.
There's always something to distract and get attention. In the end, they're taking our money and working with the other established governments to keep it all rolling. That's why we're in debt up to our eyeballs.
We all know Phil won't take one bit of bad press for this really. Favre has taken his. Of course, Favre is a repeat offender of scrumbaggery. So it's ok.
With this much known corruption and so many corrupt people, I dont understand why they are supported in elections. Is it really a matter of them being the lesser of two ****** options?
This isnt some 'gotcha' post. Your comments just stood out and I dont know what the specific alternative would be.
Advertising and subscriptions?
If people stopped watching Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson, and Rachel Maddow then perhaps some advertising dollars would go from those shows to local journalism sites. I doubt that would cover all costs. Users subscribing could also help. Again, I doubt that too would cover all costs.
Here is what I know-
- The death of local journalism allows towns and states to go more unchecked than they already are. That never leads to less corruption.
- The national opinion shows manipulate and misrepresent reality in order to create outrage and viewership. That never leads to improved relations.

Be specific.
Thanks for doing exactly what I asked not to do.Yes.
