This whole stimulous plan makes me sick. Jimmy Carter years all over again. This was my greatest fear when Obama got elected with Pelosi calling the shots. Lord help us all...we are getting change all right, change for the worse!!!
On Should Natchez and Adams County be asking for millions from the stimulus bill?

Is the chamber of commerce capable and willing to have an economic development arm? We need someone who is accountable for attracting new business, not a bunch of volunteers with no one to answer to.

As long as people think this way, racism will not go away. I believe there is more reverse racism than actual racism in this country. You are not entitled to anything based on the color of your skin. No one alive today was enslaved so get over it!

The fact of the matter is, they should have educated themselves on the laws they would be governed by BEFORE running for office. It is irresponsible to be in public service and not understand your role.
The EDA is necessary if Natchez is to ever grow. These people are an embarrassment to Adams County!!!

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.

Yep...change we can't believe in!

I hope the whole country passes this type of legislation. I cannot believe the United States cannot figure out a way to vote honestly.
And how is it racist to disallow criminals to vote? These people are ridiculous!!!

Sharon directs the reporter's attention across the street to Duncan Plaza where homeless people are living in tents and states that, 'I might do better out there with one of these tents.' She further lamented her sentiments about her situation, 'I might be poor, but I don't have to live poor.'
=============================================================================
Any wonder why this country is in the shape it is? Maybe we should all just chip in and get her the plasma TV she so richly deserves!
Remember to pay your taxes- Sharon needs your help

Sharon Jasper has been victimized. Poor thing...she has been rabidly wronged. She has become a Section 8 care case -- the victim of ever changing public housing policies.Sharon Jasper has spent 57 of her 58 years dedicated to one cause and one cause only, and has nothing to show for her dedicated servitude.. She has lived in Section 8 housing all but 1 of her 58 years.
It was a legacy passed down from her parents who moved into Section 8 housing in 1949 when she was six months old. She has passed the legacy down to her children, but fears they may have to get jobs to pay for the utilities and deposits.
She laments about her one year hiatus from the comfort of her Section 8 nirvana, ' I tried it for a year -- you know, working and all. It's not anything I would want to go through again, or wish on anyone in my family, but I am damn proud of that year.'
Sharon was moved out of her St. Bernard housing project after hurricane Katrina and into a new, yet albeit, substandard quarterage. As can be noted from the above photo of her new Section 8 home, it is repugnant and not suitable for someone of Sharon Jasper's seniority status in the system. 'Don't be fooled by them hardwood floors,' says Sharon .
They told me they were putting in scraped wood floors cause it was more expensive and elegant, but I am not a fool -- that was just a way to make me take scratched up wood because I am black. The 60 inch HD TV? It may look nice but it is not a plasma. It's not a plasma because I'm black. Now they want me to pay a deposit and utilities on this dump.' 'Do you know why?'
She has held her tongue in silence through the years of abuse by the system, but it came to a head at the New Orleans ' city council meeting where discussions were under way about the tearing down of the St. Bernard projects. When a near riotous exchange between groups opposing the tearing down of St. Bernard and groups wanting the dilapidated buildings torn down and newer ones built, Sharon unleashed verbal hell with her once silenced tongue. The object of her oratory prowess was an acquiescent poor white boy in attendance.
The context of her scathing rebuke was, 'Just because you pay for my house, my car, my big screen and my food, I will not be treated like a slave!' and 'Back up and Shut up! Shut up, white boy! Shut up, white boy!'
Recapping from the mental log of the city council minutes in her head, Sharon repines, 'Our families have been displaced all over the United States. They are being forced to commit crimes in cities they are unfamiliar with. It is a very uncomfortable situation for them.. Bring them back, then let's talk about redevelopment.'

It is government spending loaded with pork. It will NOT stimulate the economy it will desimate it.
It is also loaded with back door government handouts, reversing the welfare reform, messing with our healthcare, giving more power to the Unions, and disciminating against religous organizations...not to mention giving money to that scandalous organization called ACORN.
natchezsouthside, I am just waiting to say...I told you so!
