I AGREE 100% Destiny, go back to neighborhood schools. I don't know why it is hard to figure out. The schools started to decline as soon as they did away with the neighborhood schools. We use to have a great public school system.

Donna, I kind of take offense to your comment that republicans and the blue haired ladies don't care about education. Whether you are republican or democrat, are you aware that we spend about $9000.00 per student in our school district. The private schools are educating kids for about $4000.00 or less. Everyone is aware that government overspends on everything that they are involved in. Times are tough and everyone and every entity are looking for ways to cut cost. Every school district in the country is going to have start looking at ways to save money. I don't see why that surprises everyone. We had a meeting at my business yesterday to see of ways we can start cutting cost. That is the facts, it will not go away because we just want it to. Somebody has to take action and be responsible. That's what adults do.

Time, we are the bosses of the politicians. We can fire them at any election, and we don't. That is the problem with the United States as a whole. Politicians do bad things and we re-elect them. Look at what is happening right know. We are about to appoint a Treasury Secretary that didn't pay his taxes. WE DON'T HOLD THESE PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE. That is one of the craziest things that I have heard. These politicians get caught stealing, smoking crack, cheating on their wives, taking kick backs and running with shady people and we keep electing them (Republican and Democrat). We are getting exactly what we asked for. An honest, God fearing, family man or woman doesn't have a chance at getting elected now days. They will not tell you what you want to hear to get elected. Their are to many clueless voters voting.

Polly, I totally agree with your comment that we should work together. But in the past 8 years the democrats have done nothing of the sort. We have had some great obstacles to overcome and the democrates did nothing but make those obstacles harder to overcome. Here's the difference from me and you, I always think that this country is great regardless of who is elected. The country who is on top making a difference in the world will always be rediculed, but you hope that it is not by its on citizens. The US is harder on itself than any other country.

I like Sam Mims. He is very level headed, common sense type of guy. I see big things for Sam. We need way more Sam Mims in government. Keep up the good work.

The problem with trash and dirty restrooms is a direct correlation to education. In our area of the country we have more than our fair share of uneducated people. I see it every day in our business. They don't care.

Ok, you have someone that wants to pay, lets say, $30,000,000, but they want their name kept secret until it gets finalized or they pull out. What do you do? I keep it a secret. They have the money, they can do what ever they want to do.
On Should the name of the hospital’s top bidder be released?

This is standard procedure for this type of purchase. I have been involved in many of these type of acquisitions and it is very important to keep it quiet. Their are many things that are going on with this hospital and the purchasing hospital that can be affected. I have seen many of these things go south when word got out. I admire Phillips for doing a good job of keeping it secret.

This is exactly why we should have hired the most qualified BY FAR and from Natchez. Even though this person ended up being the fourth picked out of four. Chandler Russ was one of the four people interviewed for this job three years ago. Most qualified by far and most successful by FAR. He was begging to come back to Natchez and was not hired. He is now the DIRECTOR - Existing Industry and Business Division - Mississippi Developement Authority. I have no doubt that Chandler will go on to much greater things than coming here. This job was way beneath his qualifications. This would have been like having a Brain Surgeon teaching 5th grade science class.

This kind of stuff just burns me up. I am sick and tired of IGNORANT people bringing up race. I had more respect for these two than this, but I was clearly wrong. They are both IGNORANT. Mathis and Gray should be ashamed of themselves. They constantly go on trips together without "white representation". I have personally seen the both of them in D.C. together and they had no whites with them. The only reason that they are complaining about this trip is that they want to go to D.C. and be part of the Obama history making event. Plain and simple. I hate to sound so harsh, but I am a simple person trying to lead a simple life and not impact my neighbors negatively, (white or black), but I am sick and tired of people throwing race into the mix. I promise you whether you are white or black, we all want the same things. If you can't see that then shame on you too. Please!
