I had Mrs. P for some classes in 4th grade and my daughter had her in 4th grade for Social Studies. She does a wonderful section on Native Americans. She is a gift to our area!

But in Mississippi, if you have voted absentee, you can still come in and vote in person. This voids your absentee ballot. How can they count absentees when the voter could possibly come in and void that ballot?

If this election was held in Louisiana, you would have results within an hour or two of the closing of the polls. It shouldn't take 6 days to have results.

Never once did I say that the Children's Home has not done great things. Don't put words in my mouth. I do know Nancy Hungerford. I also know that she lives in a house in a very affluent neighborhood that is paid for by the Children's Home. How much of the money that goes for that house and it's taxes could benefit the home and the children? I also know former board members from the home and yes, the staff members kids were included in the "residents" count. The Children's Home has filled a very necessary void in the area's care of it's children. They have saved many children from awful circumstances. I also, however, think that the people who benefit financially from these charities should be completely transparent as far as financial accountability is concerned. In this time of economic downturn and uneasiness, people want to know that their donations are being used to the maximum benefit. Why is it so awful to ask questions to make sure that this is being done?

I didn't say that I would, but if they are going to constantly ask for funds from the public, they should be willing to disclose where the funds go. I ask this question of any charitable organization that I give donations. Is it too much to ask here?

How many of the children that were counted as residents are actually children of the home's staff? I have been told that these children are often included in the number of residents. Also, what percentage of the total income of the home goes to the salary, housing and transportation of Nancy Hungerford? Just wondering????

It's seems as though these people should not have custody of the children. Not only have they taught them how to commit fraud, they are subjecting these children to an unusual lifestyle to the point of neglect.

"Another thing that has happened recently is that every white pastor of a major Natchez church has moved away/been replaced in the past 6 or so years. WHY? The climate for the future stymied by the climate of the past!!!"

John, don't blame this one on someone else. Had you not been a control freak who alienated a large portion of your members, you would not have been replaced.

This is a major part of the problem with this area. No one is responsible for his/her actions.
