Jackon City Councilman Marshand Crisler accused Jackson Mayor Frank Melton of lying on a WJTV interview last night. In the interview, Melton told WJTV that an FBI investigation into the city is connected to a Jackson Public School bond management contract that Crisler's brother, Johnny Crisler, won over Integrated Management Service last month.
This month, the FBI subpoenaed information from the City Attorney's office, as reported by the Jackson Free Press on June 20.
"I don't think it's appropriate to talk about any federal investigation," Melton told WJTV, before suggesting that the investigation involved Crisler.
"I am deeply, deeply concerned that one of the people involved in receiving the fees (from the bond) happens to be the brother of a city councilperson. I'm not saying—that may not be inappropriate—it just bothers me very much."
When asked to whom he was referring, Melton responded: "It's Marshand's brother."
"The money that they're getting off this bond could be going to the children, could be going to the schools, and not going into their pockets, and I feel very strongly about that," he added.
Council members claim Melton's chief of staff, Marcus Ward, attempted to extort a decision on the same bond contract in April. Council members told the JFP that Ward threatened to pull Jonathan Larkin's re-nomination to the board if he did not vote to award the contract to IMS, as opposed to a joint contract involving Johnny Crisler. Despite the alleged threats, Larkin voted in favor of the Crisler contract last month. Shortly afterwards, Melton issued a memorandum to council members, asking them to withdraw Larkin's name for re-nomination to the board.
Melton said that he had not been called to testify before a grand jury, and that even if he had been, he could not discuss those details.
However, he did publicly offer his "general" knowledge of the investigation: "I generally know about the investigation, and I'm just sharing with you—this is just one of the concerns I have as mayor," he said, referring to the school bond.
He then added: "Those are very private subpoenas, and they're not to be discussed in public, and I believe that someone violated and that, and eventually may have to pay the price for that."
When asked if the subpoena had anything to do with him, Melton replied: "We've been through that a few times before. There's some very powerful people in this community who want me out of this office, and you can start with the (A-1) Pallets Company."
Yesterday, a Hinds County chancery judge issued a temporary restraining order against Melton on behalf of the pallets company, which Melton has said he wants demolished.
In a press conference today, Crisler said that the mayor is attempting to deflect suspicion that the investigation has everything to do with Melton's own personal behavior.
"He is absolutely lying. There's no question about it," Crisler said. "It's an absolute fabrication. It's an egregious and malicious attempt to impugn not only the character of my brother, but more importantly, me. The statement was unfounded and absurd."
Crisler said he based his assessment upon the nature of the subpoenas filed with the city, which he said had nothing to do with either him or his brother. Crisler refused to detail the exact nature of the FBI inquiries. The FBI also refused to comment to the JFP about the inquiries.
"If you're going to go on the record and saying that then you'd better have your facts in order and there are none that exist suggesting me or my brother are being looked at, but I wouldn't have any confidence in what (Melton's) saying anyhow, especially considering the source," Crisler added.
Lies have perforated Melton's two-year career as mayor. Melton told former council president Ben Allen that he would bring up JPS Vice President Jonathan Larkin for re-appointment--one day after sending out a memo asking the council to withdraw Larkin's name.
Melton also lied under oath to a Lauderdale County Judge in a civil lawsuit stemming from his days as head of the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics.
More updates soon.

Also - note the timing on things.... Marge got robbed last weekend. The guy they captured doesn't even closely resemble the guy she described. (I still think someone should have a little chit chat with her on this.) They then "capture" the guy and don't even notify her so she can ID him. Whatever the case - its all very odd. Ben fell off the face of the earth suddenly. Now why would he do that? Didn't he have a clean bill of health from the doctor? Does Frank have something on him that made him quit? or maybe Frank have something on Ben and Ben's like take a hike. Either way, he's now out of the way for Frank now. Very fishy all the way around. Marshand is now being attacked by Melton about his family and his ethics. It just seems like Frank last week decided to "weed" the opposition out of the way. Just random thoughts.

Frank has a problem with a council member's brother being part of the management group that the JPS school board approved for the bond work. Okay lets take a look at that. What is currently the thorn in Frank's flesh concerning his desired replacement on the school board? The fact that council members recuse themselves from voting on JPS appointment confirmations due to a potential conflict of interest. Crisler, being one of those members to recuse himself, avoids voting on any JPS-related matters and now Melton is saying that there is an ethical concern about JPS approving the bond work? Uh... Frank, wasn't it your opinion recently that Crisler could participate in the confirmation hearing of Ivory Phillips without committing a conflict of interest? So, if Crisler could participate for the Phillips confirmation but his brother shouldn't have any dealings with JPS (on which Crisler avoids votes), isn't that kind of ...oh... I dunno... CONTRADICTORY and HYPCRITICAL?

Melton was lying when he spoke about his desire to hire a local company. Once again, the company Melton favored was still using an OUT OF STATE firm as fully discussed on this thread! And this one! Again, Jacobs Engineering has an office at the Stennis Space Center IMS partnered with Parsons out of California - who doesn't even have an office in Mississippi! Some other highlights: IMS attorneys demanded Preferred Management and Jacobs Engineering release redacted portions of their contract proposal regarding the percentage of local/minority participation, saying the information was critical in convincing the board to reconsider its preliminary April vote. Both IMS and Preferred Management removed such information from their contracts in April, claiming the information was proprietary. Hinds County Chancery Court Judge Denise Owens refused IMS' motion last month, noting that IMS had not objected when Preferred Management issued the redacted proposal in April--back when IMS was redacting its own information. And this... Before the JPS board's preliminary vote in April, four council members, including Allen, Crisler, McLemore and Barrett-Simon, accused Melton's Chief of Staff Marcus Ward of threatening to pull Larkin's nomination if he did not favor IMS in the vote. Ward denied the allegation and threatened to send a lawyer after council members. Members say they have yet to hear from Ward's attorney. Ward has acknowledged that he discussed the mayor’s preference for IMS with Larkin. Despite the alleged threat, Larkin voted for Preferred Management. Soon after, Melton sent out a memo asking council members to withdraw Larkin's name for re-nomination. Wait just a little more... "Oh, yeah, we're very satisfied," Crisler said. "We're very eager to get moving on that contract. We'll get started tomorrow if (the board members) go ahead and sign it." IMS CEO and co-owner John Calhoun, meanwhile, said he was perplexed that the board would go with a contract that was more expensive than his. "I just don't know why they would pick someone more expensive," Calhoun said. "It doesn't seem like good business to me." Sources inside JPS, who asked to remain anonymous because they were discussing redacted information, said that the IMS bid was the more costly of the two. The board approved paying Preferred Management and Jacobs Engineering $5,350,000 for a two-and-a-half-year contract. Calhoun refused repeated requests from the JFP to reveal his proposal’s price tag. Members of the board say they cannot discuss the figure submitted by IMS and that Calhoun himself would have to release it. If you want people to not be so apathetic, and express a little more outrage that translates into moving Jackson (and your neighborhood) forward; then you cannot continue to ignore the facts, believe the hype, and spread the lies of those who are causing the most problems.

Piker, Here's where some sharp questions from the WJTV reporter would have come in handy. For instance, "What misconduct are you alleging? Are you saying that Marshand Crisler somehow exerted inappropriate influence on his brother's behalf? If so, how was he able to do so, considering that he recuses himself from JPS matters? Are you saying that Marshand Crisler went to a member of the JPS board and said, "I'll kill your re-nomination if you don't vote for Preferred Management"? The thing is, if Preferred Management presented the lowest bid for managing that bond, it doesn't matter that Johnny Crisler is Marshand's brother. It's not like they've tried to hide that fact. The problem with Marcus Ward allegedly threatening Larkin is that he was allegedly trying to force Larkin to vote for a company that made a more expensive bid. On the FBI thread, L.W. posted some fascinating news: WJTV reported it again, and the reporter says that Crisler got info from a reliable source that the four subpoenas were about Ridgeway St., the Upper Level, A-1 Pallets and a JPS board member. I'll look for a link later. If that's true, I think it indicates some real trouble, and it's not trouble for Crisler. Subpoenas for those documents would indicate that the investigation concerns Melton, Melton, Melton and Melton.

Y'all know what, admid the speculation concerning the FBI's investigation of Frank or city council persons, it is tangentially possible that Frank has completed his pre-office and 2 years in-office investigation which he often mentioned to be engaged in, and has turned over all the very incriminating evidence of wrongdoings of each counsel person to the FBI authorities. Brace yourselves folks there may not even be a counsel to conduct business by the time this thing is over. Frank has been telling us for months there there is widespread misdeeds and criminality within the Jackson City Counci. I know Frank well, and do not believe he would make such pronouncements unless utterly and unequivocally true. Frank's naming of Crisler could be a mere diversion so as to allow the FBI more time to sneak up on and handcuff everyone else. And, nall, I ain't smoking or snorting anything altering my perception.

It looks like Frank or the coucil or some council person(s) is about to go down for the count as the FBI usually investigates and charges crimes more successfully than state and lower police agencies. My money is on Frank having turned in his report causing all these investigations and oncoming charges. My apology for the previous, current and future mispellings.

Please - to all reporters who may be reading this. The next time there is a PC with the Mayor and he trys to imply that money earned by others legitimately would be better spent on "the kids" - ask him if that also applies to the City Attorney. Come on - the bond commission money she earned would pay for quite a lot of dental care, health care, books, pencils, and "Y" time for the kids in his community of choice.

Subpoenas for those documents would indicate that the investigation concerns Melton, Melton, Melton and Melton. Brian, WLBT did an interview with Crisler, and he listed the same four things. Let's wait and see what the FBI says. Also, some more drama happened at City Hall about those confirmations.

Here's a WLBT link: Mayor Melton declined to comment on the nature of the F.B.I. subpoenas which are sealed. Crisler says he's received reliable information they're aimed at Mayor Melton. Crisler says, "They have to do with the house on Ridgeway street, whether the events there were a civil rights violation, the incident at the upper level, which may or may not be a civil right's violation. The other one has to do with a-1 pallet, and the other any inappropriate approaches to the Jackson Public School district." Melton sent this letter to J.P.S., requesting documents on expenditures related to the 150-million dollar school bond issue. At this time they're not responding to the letter. Crisler says, "What he's doing is destroying lives and that can't be tolerated. I'm not going to tolerate it as a city official because if have not done anything wrong, my family has not done anything wrong. In fact my family shouldn't even be in this equation." I'm assuming that someone will go back and edit the document later. Quite a few typos in there.

Ladies and Gents: I am new to this board and I am happy to have found it. I want to say categorically that Marshand Crisler is the living embodiment of a public servant. It has been my great pleasure to spend a great deal of time with him over the past 4 years. He has amassed a record of public service, which if payed in real dollars would make him a wealthy man. But he is not. I too am a public servant of nearly 26 years and I unhesitatingly say that the City of Jackson is extraordinarily lucky to have a man of his character. Marshand will always due his sworn duty. He has proven it time and time again. To the detriment of his home life, he has sacrificed more than most of would be willing to do a tenth of. I don't even blame Mr. Melton, I blame the reporter who went with the story, unchecked and unsubstantiated and placed Mr Crisler in the difficult position of defending himself and his family. There is absolutely nothing wrong with his brother bidding on a city contract. It was done fairly and lawfully and without a hint of impropriety. 15 minutes of fact checking by the reporter would have revealed no story. But no story means no news. I hope all of you get a chance to meet Marshand and you will see what a true public servant. Are there any of you willing to pitch in and help me host a Marshand Crisler Appreciation Day?

Since I have to see it to believe it whenever Frank says anything, I'll give Crisler the benefit of a doubt. Plus, these are just allegations and everyone is innocent until proven guilty. I get the feeling this will be a long, hot summer.

Can I pause here just for a moment and offer The Clarion-Ledger a heartfelt thanks for their glowing endorsement of Frank Melton, and the omissions in their coverage leading up to it, that helped us get to this point in our city's history? Learned anything, yet, Ledge-boyz? At the very least, surely a re-ordering of the Metro-State desk is in order. We hear Mr. Melton has some pretty good friends over that way, even if he's stopped walking through the newsroom at will lately. I believe strongly that the city should demand an open apology from The Clarion-Ledger in their role in this. I'm serious. I've never seen more irresponsible journalism hoisted on a community—not in a few decades anyway. It's ironic that they were the worst in the '60s, and they're the worst now, and many of the same people are ending up as the most powerless victims as a result. Nice going.

I agree ladd! The A-I Pallet story today is weak. They ignored the FBI Crisler story. I guess if WJTV has it then it is like they have it?? The ID Theft person looks more like Mrs. Barrett-Simon's attacker than the guy they got. No follow-up. No follow-through. And, no accountability! There editorials are nothing more than brief sound bites that ring hollow once examined against facts. I'll give them credit that they at least got McLemore saying he was with a sick family member after Blunston's cold accusations. McLemore said he was not able to attend the hearings because he is in Walls helping his elderly father who was transferred from a hospital to a nursing home. Instant Karma will one day catch up with these folks. It took decades to get some of these vile racist killers tucked away in corners of MS; it eventually can get those who are working in nefarious ways around here one day too. Karma knows no color or salary range.

In the meantime, what can we do to point out this blatant irresponsible YELLOW JOURNALISM on part of the CL, WLBT 3, and WJTV 12? Those of us who log on to JFP get the true facts of what's going on in city government---but what about those who only have the local, so -called mainstream media? Maybe we should start a fundraiser to put up billboards around the city and metro area with these words: IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON IN JACKSON , LOG ON TO JACKSONFREEPRESS.COM. The billboard could also mention all of the local establishments that provide JFP to its customers. Any takers? I am more than willing to give my financial support to this effort!

Gillespie, I am in Crisler's ward and believe in him as a person and a public servant. Whenever I have had to call his office, he has always personally returned my call. Melton has no credibility to the point where I wonder if he is really Frank Melton. If you decide to have something to honor Crisler, please let me know. Oh, welcome aboard! It gets a little hot on this site from time to time, but I make sure to check with this site 4-5 times daily to get caught up on the news.

Personally I hope you win and that Sean Perkins wins. Can't remember the name of who is running against Doug Anderson. Wish he would join this Blog too. Support might materialize and name recognition would increase. Ya'll come, ya hear me?

[quote]What? You don't remember one of his listed accomplishments? He was listed in Who's Who of American Businessmen in America in 1978.[/quote] Ronnie Chappell? To further my point, I haven't heard a peep out of him to ever indicate he might be representing my district.

Oh, come on! No one ever comes to the apartments to campaign. They always go to the rich neighborhoods. I've seriously thought about not voting for anyone unless I can meet them and hear what they have to say. Most politicians don't care about us, so it's not worth it at all. Pessimism. Learning it from the best. :) Actually, I don't ask if the cup is half full or half empty. I want to know who scarfed my drink.

Welcome, Dr. Gillespie. You'll find that blogging on JFP is not only informative, but also invigorating, provocative, stimulating and, for many of us, liberating. The JFP gang, led by Donna, are masterful newshounds who insist on fact-based reporting. Good luck in your campaign for District 4 Supervisor. If you win--and I hope you do--do you promise not to hire a lady 'friend' and allow her to live in the Raymond Courthouse as the infamous Supervisor Ronnie Chappell reportedly did?

L.W. You are much to kind. I sincerely appreciate your kind words, but this I can promise you, there are plenty of people who think I never spent a day in dental school! I checked out your home page. You are the one who is truly AWESOME. God Bless you, from all appearances you are an angel on this earth. Thanks. I wish I could call myself an angel, but I just consider myself an average Jane who's sick of the same old stuff and wants to do something about it.

L.W., just to clarify, Crisler made those comments about the subject of the FBI subpoenas at his press conference Friday, so pretty much all the media should have them.
