Yates will have to step down from BOC

Wednesday, May 2. 2012

Jackson County Board of Commission member Bruce Yates will have to resign when he officially qualifies to run for the chairman of the board. Yates has two years remaining in his current position, which is the reason he has to step down, according to county attorney Julius Hulsey.

Commissioner Tom Crow, who has also announced that he is running for chairman, and BOC chairman Hunter Bicknell, who is seeking a congressional seat, will not have to resign from the BOC since their terms end in December.

For the full story, see the May 2 issue of The Jackson Herald.

and I HOPE HE FAILS TO WIN his nomination. Just so he can't get that cush job back that he has two years remaining on. Please run Mr. Yates....Please run.

Jackson county politics = sad, corrupt, sad and corrupt. No I meant corrupt and sad.

Throw all of them out.

Three out of 5 county commissioners are leaving to seek higher office. It seems more so today once you get elected to a cushy job you are never satisfied. You are always looking for the next rung on the ladder. Talk about egos. Serving the citizens be damned. The only job better is an appointed official such as a school superintendent with "lofty'credentials and work history getting a six figure salary while I am having to manually work trying to make a living and hold on to my job. Ism't America great.

Ain't that the truth!

Seems like about 1/3 people in Jackson County are employed by one of our (many) local governments, another 1/3 have contracts to perform work for those local governments. That leaves 1/3 of us to work and support 2/3 of the people!

Smaller government my derriere!

Now tell me, what does that mean to be noble? Your title gives you claim to the throne of our county, but men don't follow titles, they follow courage. Now our people know you. Noble, and common, they respect you. And if you would just lead them to freedom, they'd follow you. And so would I!

Go back to the White House and tell them there that Jackson County's daughters and her sons are yours no more. Tell them Jackson County is free.

Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take OUR FREEDOM!

Slaves are made in such ways. The last time the USA spoke of peace I was a boy. And many Congressmen and Congresswomen, who would not be slaves, were lured by HOPE and CHANGE.

You all would be wise to revisit the Patriot and Braveheart.

I sure hope someone runs against Theresa Kenerly, who has announced she's running for Bruce's open seat. The question is upon him resigning to run for Chairman, when will the Special Election be held and when will qualifying for the post take place?

Jackson County has been solid Republican for the last forty years ... how's that working out?

Bruce, Theresa, or a name from the phone book. Any body but RON JOHNSON. The big fake from Sugarhill

I think he should run. Somebody just notorize any prisoner from the county jail and maybe some of them can have more success. Apparently it worked in Wisconsin.
