The mayor terminated the Town Accountant. She is black. Figure that out. If Mr. Ryder was orange, the mayor still would not have cooperated.

Dont you people understand nobody gives a damn about Jonesboro Louisiana, Your Sheriff and District attorney are coward down in their tax payer provide offices scared to step up and do the right thing and your legislators funnel them money to buy the black vote. Simple fact, give this god forsaken town to the black folks and get the hell out, its a lost cause

I am wondering…Did the mayor not co-operate with Mr. Ryder because Mr. Ryder is white?

Was the mayor being racist against Mr. Ryder? Judge Teat? The three white mean who filed the original law suit? The lovely Tonya Wade from Ruston? Darryl Purpera? John Kennedy?

Maybe this is all just a misunderstanding or miscommunication?

I showed my husband the post about the “Citizen’s Alliance of Jonesboro” class action suit, and the contempt motion by the Attorney General against Thompson and Cottonham. He had the same idea you did and said I should write a book…I am no writer, and I don’t live there now and don’t know anything except what I read on this blog. If there aren’t any writers in Jonesboro, maybe John Grisham could be enticed to investigate the mess (he gave up his law practice to become an author) and write a book entitled, “Make My Day, Mayor”. It would be interesting to see what would be uncovered if someone did an in-depth investigation of Thompson’s time in office.

Hopefully, Carol Powell Lexington will be charged with filing a frivolous lawsuit. Maybe if she was ordered to return the money she has been paid for the lawsuits she’s filed for Thompson to the town of Jonesboro, she might think twice before she represents him again. I don’t think he is paying her out of his own pockets!

This could turn out for the best, although it doesn’t look like it now. All the furore finally brought the state in, and look what they are doing now. If they get the federal government in, maybe the whole country will see what the citizens of Jonesboro have had to put up with the past six years.

Misspent, misspent, misspent! Blame, blame, blame! Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know! I think a book sould be written about corruption in a little southern town. What would be a good title? Horror on Allen Avenue? Death of a Country Town? No Law Abides Here? Etc.

Any writers out there?

That all “went out the window” when the captain took possession of his ship.

The citizens who are filing the class action lawsuit are correct in doing so if their suit is against the mayor and council who repeatedly spend tax dollars illegally.

Look at the misspending of dedicated money. Look at the missing water deposits. Unnecessary spending on auditors trying to audit unauditable books. Misspending on Tanya Wade. Misspending on quick books. Misspending on attorneys to protect the mayor and council members for voting on illegally presented budgets. Double paying of lying council members (yes Devon you were caught on video cashing the first check).

Yes rights have been violated. The mayor has violated so many rights of taxpaying citizens it could only be a coalition of non-intelligent bigots that would file suit on anybody but the mayor. It is time for some of the citizens to quit playing the race card and admit to their mistake. Egg is on their face and they will go down fighting the truth, les is not the right person to lead Jonesboro.

Sorry to burst your bubble but a “black” leader who knows how to lead is fine with the majority of “white” citizens in town. An idiot who can neither lead nor admit he can’t lead whether black or white will not be supported by the white citizens of Jonesboro. Wish the black citizens had the same conviction.

Convicted felons can not vote. So, I wonder if you could find any of their names on the voters registrar. Kind of like all the hodge residents that were on there!
