No I am not willing. The parish is worse than the town on many levels. Money situation–no; but, other things yes.

The mayor is better at formulating sentences than the Pro tem who only knows how to grunt and say “that’s right!”

Well, enough is enough. I have sent a post to Fox news about the situation here in Jonesboro La, and hopefully they will read into the situation that we are experiencing here, and find out exactly what is going wrong and help settle this situation, or at least, get those involved that care about our country, and the things that are uncapable of being corrected at our level. Sorry Mr. Jindal. Seems to me, there are some coward as### that are not knowledgable of getting to the bottom of this mess. Bottom line, respect what you represent, and do the job to the best of your ability as best as you can. If you are benefitting by the increasing of wages for not doing so, then it is obvious that you don’t care about what the tax payers are paying for. BS!

I don’t know who replied for Marvin Qualls, seems like somebody is using my name and speaking for me. These are not my views whoever is hiding behind Marvin Qualls name please be man or woman enough to use your own name. This is from the real Marvin Qualls. I don’t even live in the city to even vote for the Mayor. I was informed of these post from another person. I don’t even get on here, except to post this. Stand for yourself coward.

Did Mr. Ryder give a reason for his resignation? No doubt it has to be nerve-racking trying to work with a mayor who has no intention of co-operating. I would suggest Thompson’s lack of co-operation has more to do with a cover-up of his seemingly corruption than anything else. It’s obvious to any intelligent person that things are not being run lawfully or in the best interest of Jonesboro. If Thompson cared for the people or the Town of Jonesboro, he would never have asked for nor taken a raise in salary. That should tell blacks and whites what his motivation really is…to line his own pockets at taxpayers’ expense. I have watched videos of this mayor and the Deputy Mayor, and they both appear not to be playing with a full deck of cards. Can either of them make a coherent sentence?

I wish I was living in Jonesboro now. I would be at every meeting of the ‘mayor in name only’ to voice my opinion, and I would check with a lawyer (not Doug Stokes) to see if it was lawful to form a caravan and travel to Baton Rouge and demand the Governor listen to us. It’s time for the State to oust this mayor, his co-horts and those who have aided and abetted him in what appears to be outright corruption. Those who have willingly aided and abetted him should be punished also.

It appears that there is increasing support for another petition, particularly in District A, for a recall of the Jonesboro mayor and four of the council members. That is the district that only had about a 25% turnout in the last mayoral/council election, perhaps partly due to the fact that they had no choice for their council member, Lamkin being the only candidate. There is little problem getting the required number of signatures, because that has been done before. In the past, state officials gave little attention to them, but with the report of the last fiscal review committee and the anticipated negative report by Mr. Ryder of the Town’s operations and lack of cooperation by the mayor, it is believed there would be more favorble consideration given in Baton Rouge to one now.
