Melton: After 2 years, next 2 offer challenges
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 7/6/7 While the first two years of Mayor Frank Melton’s term in office have been, shall we say, problematic, he seems on the right track for the next two, with economic development, crime and education his priorities. Since he was sworn into office July 4, 2005, Melton has seen too much time…

Look for more sham ‘issue ads’ after Supreme Court’s ruling
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 7/6/7 Mississippi got a taste of the new radical-right bent of the U.S. Supreme Court a week ago when the court by 5-to-4 virtually disemboweled the 2002 McCain-Feingold campaign finance law, signaling doom for this state’s own modest campaign finance regulatory efforts. Especially does the new high court ruling cast doubt on…

Mayor Frank Melton Two Years Later: Controversy constant companion
The Clarion-Ledger, 7/5/7 But during the two years since Melton’s July 4, 2005, inauguration, his accomplishments have been less than obvious. Crime still is the hot-button issue, with violent crime up 42 percent over last year. The mayor and City Council are not working together. Jackson faces a $3.9 million budget deficit. And Melton has…

Memo to Ike Brown: Discrimination against whites illegal, too
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 7/4/7 Much of Mississippi’s history in the 1960s was written in the blood of African-American Mississippians who were beaten bloody, burned out and in some cases even murdered simply for seeking to exercise their right to vote. Last week, in a first-of-its-kind case anywhere in the nation, Judge Lee said Justice Department…
