Mississippi corruption is multi layered
Tort law exploitation and corrupted paid off mostly black juries...worst in US
The GOPe.....nuff said...worse than I had reckoned
All urban areas of consequence outside Tupelo and the Coast are black Dem run
The black counties of the Delta are black run
They want to get paid......
Its a mess
The rural black church going folks and the regular white majority are very socially conservative.....likely most so in the nation
The corruption is a perfect storm
When I was a boy there corruption was Louisiana or the Coast....murder...gambling.....Carlos Marcello and Frank Costello and Owney Madden
And they were always the highway commissioners.....
When I was a youngster I was always amazed that the county supervisors had paved driveways and somehow their roads always seemed to be freshly paved too.
Amazing that.
Given the voting pattern in the last election it would appear that at least a couple counties in the jackson metro area are white liberal run now.
