For you bar hoppers, good news. For the “close early bunch”, bad news. It will take more than a city ordnance to get the bars to close at 2 AM. In most locations in the state alcohol sell is shut off at 2 AM. However, and I can’t believe no one has brought this up yet, Natchez along with a few other places in MS are “designated resort areas”. The “designated resort area” in the STATE LAW is what give the businesses the right to serve alcohol 24/7. Any ordnance passed by the city will start a law suit that will cost the city a bunch of money and the city will more than likely loose. Any change will have to be done by removing Natchez as a “designated resort area” by the state. That seems like it might be bad for the tourist business to do that.

Kirsten West Savali - tell the truth! The "city" may have told you anything. However, you NEVER received an apology from the officer who was doing his job and folowing written policy. As a matter of fact, the officer could have had action taken against him for not following written policy. So what makes you so special? What applies to the officers, the officers family, and their friends goes for everyone. City officials should never treat the police officers unfairly and then expect special favors. The officer you speak of worked the streets for almost three years after the incident you spoke of even though your father tried in vain to have him fired. He could not be fired without getting himself and the city into a huge lawsuit. I'm sure the officer you speak of would have loved to retire early. I'm sure everone else that was arrested for driving with a suspended license could have a father that could try to get them off because of his position of "power". Check the PUBLIC court record. You paid your fine just like the rest.

Swapmeet - Yes, Judge Sanders is the one responsible for turning all of the criminals loose in Adams and Wilkinson Counties. She has her own agenda and it has never worked in the best interest of the public.

OldGrandDad - that would have been Judge Lillie Sanders of course.

Peace007 it's blue flu = police are sick and tired of working their butts off trying to make everyone happy and unable to feed their family and pay their bills. The people of Natchez seem to not understand that crime will occur no matter what. The police officers and detectives miss out on spending time with their families, miss out seeing their kids grow up and are going deeper in debt every day. That makes the offices very sick after awhile and they may come down with the blue flu. The law enforcement officers in Natchez and the rest of the country are sort of like the military. Law enforcement is the ONLY thing standing in the way of total chaos. Across the country the types of crimes tracked by the FBI are solved at a rate of about 22%. Here in Natchez these crimes are solved at a rate of 55 to 60 %. Maybe the mayor, board of aldermen and citizens need a couple of days without any law enforcement to see what these brave men and women, who sacrifice so much of their lives trying to help the city, really do. When the thugs are running rampant through and burning the city down the citizens and BOA will see that law enforcement is worth spending the money on. Is this what it’s going to take to get law enforcement pay up to where it should be? How many of you posting here know that an officer with 14 years under his belt trying to support a family of 4 make just about $100 too much a month to draw food stamps? Do you expect GOOD honest people to take the job? The city could keep good officers that are leaving for higher paying jobs and attract better educated people to apply if they would stop trying to starve the officers and their families. You police bashers have no idea how dedicated many of these officers are. Yes, most would put their lives on the line to protect you. Even though you are so much smarter, make so much more money than they do, and have nothing better to do than sit at you computer and bash away at them. To those that believe law enforcement is paid what it’s worth consider the following. Deputies at he sheriff’s office make starting pay that is about $5000.00/yr. more than a starting police officer. The starting police officer will handle about as many calls for service in 2 days than the deputy handles in a week. If law enforcement didn’t exist for a couple of days you would find these men and women are worth more than their weight in gold. It’s time to pay police like your life depends on it because when you really think about it, it does!
