Day: August 2, 2013

OK boys and girls, is the protest in Ocean Springs on for Tuesday evening or not?

I’m hearing a lot of chatter about such and would like to gauge interest. Obviously if people gather to let Auditor Pickering know how they feel Tuesday night, such confirmed public interest is certain to attract the media.  Leave your intentions in comments here or email me. Thanks.

Friday Open letter day: A satisfied client endorses Bobby Truitt

I’m a satisfied client as well hence the banner hanging on the right sidebar. The following is from Anne Marie Vandenweghe which I publish for no promotional consideration:

I would point out to any detractors that Bobby Truitt was the only one to man-up in my defense. And I am eternally grateful. No one ( and I mean NO ONE) came forward offering to represent me.
