Watts: AG says 'pay'
Published Friday, February 6, 2009
NATCHEZ — The Mississippi attorney general’s opinion is in — well, sort of.
That opinion regarding the decision by the Adams County Board of Supervisors to withhold funding from the Natchez-Adams Economic Development Authority reportedly suggests the funding should be continued through the budget year.
But that news wasn’t in any written opinion from the attorney general’s office, because the supervisors never requested a formal opinion.
Board President Henry Watts would not return phone calls on the matter Thursday afternoon, but sent an e-mail to The Democrat about the attorney general’s opinion.
His e-mail says a person he calls a “staff person” at the attorney general’s office delivered an opinion via phone call Thursday.
Watts’ e-mail is printed here as it was sent:
“Contact was made to the Mississippi Attorney General’s office today. The staff person that answered our attorney’s question, said, “Although the Bill# 1847 has weak spots in the legislation, he suggested that the supervisors continue funding through the end of the budget year, that ends September 31, 2009. At that time, the supervisors can decide to either increase funding up to two mills, by raising property taxes, or decrease funding or stop funding altogether.” He asked, “hasn’t those things been discussed with the Mayor and Board of Aldermen at the August meetings.” The answer was, “we’ve never had an August meeting with the Mayor and Board of Aldermen that we know of or the EDA that we’re aware of.”
Since there has never been an August meeting with the Mayor and Board of Aldermen or the EDA and never a Board of Supervisor budget discussion of a “tax levy” in the 5 years I’ve been a supervisor, I have always thought the constant annual amount of $175,000.00 going to the EDA was an appropriation set-a-side. I never knew it was a definitive millage, a tax on the taxpayers property, in order to fund the EDA.
I have already spoken to the Mayor and suggested that the Supervisors meet with his board the week after he returns from Washington, D.C. to discuss the EDA. He agreed!
This is my statement with NOTHING additional to follow!”
With the exception of the deletion of the salutation and signature and the correction of a misspelled word, Watts’ e-mail was not edited or altered.
The attorney general office’s Public Information Officer Jan Schaefer said, had a formal opinion been requested, a formal response would have been given.
Schaefer said since the supervisors didn’t seek a formal opinion, the information they got from the attorney general’s office is better classified as advice.
“But that doesn’t change the advice,” Schaefer said of a verbal response.
Written opinions from the attorney general’s office are public record.
Schaefer said since conversations between county officials and attorneys at the attorney general’s office are deemed attorney-client privilege, they cannot be discussed.
Board Attorney Bobby Cox would not release the name of the staff person assisting the county, saying only “Elmer Fudd” when asked for the name.
Wednesday, Watts said he and the board would follow any direction outlined in the attorney general’s opinion.
Supervisors Darryl Grennell, who voted against withholding funding from the EDA, said he spoke to Watts shortly after Watts spoke with the attorney general’s office.
Grennell also said he doesn’t know what the board’s next step will be.
“I really don’t know what’s going to happen,” he said. “But based on the legislation, (funding) should go back to the EDA.”
In Watts’ e-mail he also said he’s contacted Natchez Mayor Jake Middleton to set up a meeting with the Natchez Board of Aldermen to discuss the attorney general’s response.
Middleton said that meeting could be as early as Feb. 16.
And while Middleton said Watts didn’t notify him of the attorney general’s response, he also wants to see the funding replaced.
“If the AG suggests they should continue the funding, I think they should,” Middleton said.
Former City Attorney Walter Brown said he’s unaware of any joint August meeting that have happened since the EDA was formed by House Bill 1847.
That legislation mandates the county and city board meet each August to discuss funding.
The Natchez Democrat has requested a formal written opinion from the attorney general’s office on the matter.

I suppose the supervisors have a lot on their minds. With the hospital sale still in limbo, EDA funding a hot potato, and the problem with residents having their land bought for the expansion of the Natchez Trace. By the way why do I see workers surveying the Morgantown Road area? Several years ago one of the supervisors said that Morgantown road would be upgraded. Also, bit of good news Foster Mound Volunteer Fire Department received a class ten rating as of January 30, 2009. In a letter from the Mississippi State Rating Bureau the department has been added to the list of Tenth Class Certified Fire Departments. The letter goes on to state that certification applies to eligible properties located within five road miles of this fire department. Foster Mound is one of four volunteer fire departments in Adams County and routinely assists the Natchez Fire Department with calls in the county.

When they use a silly alias such as "Elmer Fudd", it makes me feel something "under-the-table" is going on. Maybe not, but alias' have the reputation of being used when things are hush-hush....Or "Elmer" doesn't want to be tracked down to back up his/her word.

Henry, here is a suggestion in case you haven't thought of it. Since Mississippi code is silent (you may recall from the 2007 audit) on interfund loans, why don't you and Mike and the other fellow vote at the next meeting to loan the EDA fund to the general fund. You can do this as long as you set up a loan repayment plan. If I were you I'd start repaying the loan at the end of the current fiscal year, which occurs after the August meeting. You could repay the EDA fund $14 thousand a month starting in October and earn interest for the general fund on the balance from now until the final payment is made.
In August you could vote not to renew the EDA funding, and if forced to you could loan 2010's EDA fund to the general fund under the above repayment schedule and make more interest for the general fund.
Why not? The City of Natchez is worth $212 million, way more than the county is worth, and has nearly twice the cash assets. Why not let the city pay for what it wants, and let the county residents enjoy a tax decrease of .91 mils? The city could easily fund the EDA if they wanted to and if they have that much faith in it.
Personally I don't see how they spend $275 thousand a year at the EDA. At least make them bring some receipts to the county and show how they are spending the money.

Like I said before this sounds like contract law. The people of Adams County and the city of Natchez are being taxed for this very purpose to fund the EDA. First off where is the Contract with this organization does it not have to be signed by the the AG like the Fire Dept or the Drug Task Force? It is all part of public record. I have a question where is the county and city charters, or by-laws, I can not find them at all? But by the laws of MS this was the wrong move and I did not need the AG to tell me that. How long has this Mickey Mouse operation been in control of the Area? SCARY!!!!

HMMM seems like some mistakes have been done AGAIN. Bet our taxes are going up again. In the past 5 years my taxes have went up over 50%.
While the economy is in crises, our government officials are taking steps to make us pay more at a time when we not being asked but being put into a place to cut back on many things, our officials are making us pay more for there mistakes and pet projects. BUT I knew things like this was coming. GET READY

I thought the Elmer Fudd thing was hilarious. I can see him now in his khaki outfit hunting through Mississippi telling folk stuff about the opinion of the Attorney General. Or should I say "non-opinion". By the way, didn't an opinion, such as this one, overlay the streets in Natchez recently?

Does this answer from the AG's office surprise anyone? It shouldn't because once again Larry, Curly, and Mo have jumped the gun on an important decision. No one is questioning the need for changes within EDA...what we are all questioning is the method by which those changes were made. A piece of personal advice to Mike: your much-needed re-election campaign commitments are dwindling fast...continue your blind loyalty to Watts and you won't be serving a second term. Stand up and be your own man..those of us who backed you and believed in you and gave you our hard-earned cash didn't do it so Watts could dictate what you do.

lambchop... it is not the date really it is not knowing the facts.. If they knew the facts and the laws concerning this issue to begin with they would not be having to eat crow AGAIN.. the little things add up, you would think the day they can legally end the EDA would be something these three would know.. but they can not even get that straight!!!! It is JUST SAD!!!

Thirty days has Sept.,
April, June, and Nov.
All the rest have 31
except Feb. which
has 28 and 29 in a leap year.
Now how many months have 28 days?
All of them of course.

well I put my money on Watts paying the money to the EDA and not saying anything else. It looks like the President of the board should know where money is coming from. This is a poor excuse Mr Watts and it shows you do not know what you are talking about when it comes to EDA.

LOL, I wanted to comment and add....yes Watts....there are only 30 days in the month of Septemeber. Maybe if you acknowledged some of the great employees of the County...they would respect you more and be willing to check your emails for misspelled words.
It is now becoming more evident to everyone that you are not a supporter of most people in Natchez, Adams County.
Can you say that you care about each and everyone in our county, city....including the employees of the County?????

Henry WHAT'S??? The EDA or some of our dimwitted aldermen(I should say alderpersons. sorry Arcenous-Magmus), and the Bored of Stupidity had better come up with something to help this county and town besides raising my property taxes. Raise them 1 mill and color me solid gone.
Mrs. Hardcorps and I have lived in several states since our marriage. I pay a lot of property taxes here only to have second rate imbeciles spending my money on BS.
You leeches who knocked on my door and handed out cards begging for my vote now feel it difficult to lower yourselves to speak to me in a restaurant.
You idiots have about 12 months to do something besides squabble and utter sour nothings in my ear or I'm gone. I don't owe Natchez ONE RED CENT.
Mrs. Hardcorps does not have blue hair nor desire to hang with a bunch of floozies who have their butts up on their shoulders and still manage to look down on her.
Whats, Stanky, Flakey Jakey, Curly Grinner, Arcenous-Magmus and the rest, get your $4!t in one seabag or my seabag is packed and I'm going AWOL from this silliness. Eat a cowflop. All of you.

Again, too much rhetoric. Don't they know there procedures? If these people would employ a stenographer, issues like this would not go on for this long! Sure, "the people" of this town want to know and understand how government works and how they spend monies. But, is this issue costing the same, had one followed "procedures"? Are there any other loopholes where monies can laundered? Does the word "We" in the phrase "We the People..." stand for the wealthy and well known, or everyone? This is, yet another stumbling block that keeps Natchez from growing/prospering. There are tourist that DO read the daily news;)

hhhmmm interesting
weak legislation?
well that's good, and no meetings on EDA since when?
no wonder they don't do anything..........
wouldn't hurt my feelings to cut their funding and use that money for the BOS, Aldermen, and Mayor's office (mayor included) to do what needs to be done to reel in some employment prospects for our community workers...............huh and start with the schools so we'll have a well trained, articulate work force that knows how to work, and is trainable for whatever might come industrywise..........
and once again I am proud of my Board of Supervisors questioning funding and attempting to hold back funds from ANY nonfunctioning entity including the EDA
iconoclast- withholding funds from the EDA is a long way from thievery, you keep spouting that nonsense and as of yet have NOT met my requests for some hard evidence of your accusations. I hope Henry Watts sues you for liber and slander, you know you can be held accountable for those unfounded accusations which you are making for the sole purpose of defamation & hurting his reputation. You need to cease and desist immediately please.

okay Kroger I will attempt to fill you in on the law as read in the Ms State Constitution. First the EDA entered into a CONTRACT with the city and the county which then had to be approved and signed by the Attorney General of the state of MS. then a Tax was designed for the county to pay a portion of the millage to the EDA.. the governing clause indicates that a meeting be held in august to determine the budget from the city and the county which has not happened(first breach of contract) Second once a budget is approved and voted on it is a legal binding contract... ( not paying the EDA it's check is (the second breach of contract.. must I really go on...
okay, now i will say my spill on this... the fact is there is a certain tax that the citizens pay just to fund the EDA: if it does not go to the EDA then it needs to go to the people who paid it..BOTTOM LINE... if not it is STEALING!!! that is all there is to it.. if you stop payment to the cause it was raised for then everyone should get a check..it should not line the pot for other useless projects!!!! those are just the FACTS!!! like Henry Watts or not, I could really careless this is about money not friendships, if you take the money for a reason through a tax for it.. then use it for it, if you do not, then the tax needs to be repealed by the county and the people should get a refund....This is what the federal income tax and the IRS does every year... you can not lie to the people and say it is for something and then say SIKE.. if the common person did it then they would land in jail for FALSE PRETENSES!!! or fraud!!!!
Allocate it to the EDA and write the CHECK!!! suspend the contract in Sept of 2009 is there is no progress then it would be legal.

Kroger-- that is libel and slander... defamation of character... for that to be the case it would have to be proved that the person Lied with intent to cause financial damage or cause irrepuital hard to the person which is not the case here because Watts made the mistake in what he ordered to happen with out reading the law.. Which in some peoples eyes could be stealing or thievery if it is not put to where it was right again!! bottom line hard sell on the law suit..plus most people who PLAY politics take the punches when they deserve it..Plus I do not hear Watts saying he was sorry for the oblivious dereliction of duties.. which is by the way an impeachable offense.

This is what you get when you elect people with no organizational knowledge. Any sensible person would study and know what their responsibilities were and have knowledge of the laws they are governed by BEFORE they even ran for office.
What kind of sane businessperson does not see the benefit of having an EDA? Granted it needs to be ran more effciently but certainly needs to exist. It is asanign to believe that we can attract new business and industry without one.

Natchez GT didn't even say the date of the email. He is referring to Watts' "September 31"(Which isn't a real date if you haven't picked up on that yet).

Boy, you guys are so much fun to read....all the sly nasty remarks, double entendre, pointing out everyone's grammatical and spelling mistakes, reassuring me that the nursery rhyme I learned in elementary school about the number of days in the months is still correct...and I have never seen so many people use "there" when they mean "their" all the while calling someone else stupid.
Even our astute journalist pointed out Mr Watts mispelled one word in a sentence where he left out a comma(I don't think he caught the date thing, either)..and there's something about this sentence that just doesn't sound right? "Former City Attorney Walter Brown said he’s unaware of any joint August meeting that have happened since the EDA was formed by House Bill 1847." Is that the Dr Suess version of the singular plural of the concept of "meeting" or the plural meeting on the singular of the word "that". I'm confused but thoroughly entertained by it all.
Henry-it was a good try, but you do know concerneded2149 is right. Once a tax has been levied for an intended purpose, the funds raised by that tax cannot be used for any other purpose. But, at the same time, one cannot end the funding in the middle of the contracted time period and simply refund the money to the taxpayers, either, Ed. What amazes me is they get $275,000 a year, have a board that never meets and continue to hire directors from out of town who earn their keep by spending all their time taking trips out of town. Sounds a bit like the Republican $700 billion bailout package for Wall St with no regulations or accoutability. Maybe we do need to see their balance sheet. You know, $257,000 is a lot of your own money to spend. I mean, I could live very comfortably for 5 or 6 years on that kind of money, but that would be MY money. Isn't it amazing how it goes so fast and doesn't seem like much when it's other people's money?
So Ed, I believe Henry was only trying to stop throwing good money after bad...trying to tighten the city's collective belt, as it were. Yet, everyone can't know every law... Isn't that why we pay a city attorney... to advise the board on the legalities of their actions BEFORE such actions are taken? Heck, I'll bet even you had to look it up to make such eloquent arguments. I know ya'll did some heavy Googling to find an Elmer J Fudd living right here in our great state, you wascally wabbits!!!
Why don't we start where the real problem begins? The main reason we will never get a Toyota-like plant or any other major type industry in our area is because the executives of these companies take one look at our public school system and can't get out of here fast enough! They cannot afford to pay salaries that will include the tuition to private school. There are plenty of other places with great school systems, great tax breaks and better weather. Concentrate on the public schools....FIX IT AND THEY WILL COME!

I hope the BOS will cut them out if they continue to operate like they have in the past.I see a lot of people get mad over the BOS trying to save the tax payers money.Now they will get real mad The taxes will go up even more .But i will not blame the BOS because they were trying to save us money It seems a lot of these people are set on wasting county money What is the real deal ?Do you have stock in EDA ?

Joyce is good too, she is just so LOUD! Lower the decibels just a little. There is just no hope for poor Ricky. Have you ever heard anyone say mont instead of month? Oh my!
