Lets all call Jason Mumpower’s office and see whats up :)

And yet the state comptroller is justified in his openly racist witch hunt. Huh.

I live about 40 minutes from Mason. I have watched that town implode politically from corruption losing its police force TWICE stealing 600K dollars from the city over 10 years. And the current mayor isnt perfect. He recently was pulled over for a DUI but Mumpowers corrupt ass. He took office january 21 of this year…

Just the sort of situation a major windfall from the investment would fix. Perhaps the those trying to eliminate the town should offer some financial planning help instead of diverting what would be local taxes to their donors.

Transferring money from the local utilities to the general city funds may be against tennesee law, but it is common practice elsewhere (at least here in Europe).

It’s just so openly racist.  And condescending,  like the black folk can't handle governing 

Yeah that sounds about white. I love my fucking state. 

Transferring utility payments to the general fund is less corrupt than transferring them to one’s personal account, which seems to have been what happened in the past.

I don’t know if this is accurate, but there is a chance the conservative state government officials doesn’t want the explosive growth this plant will bring to happen inside the possibly more liberal jurisdiction of the Mason local government. Think of it as a form of gerrymandering. 

...our you know, just an article about how a Ford plant in a predominantly black community has riled up racists in positions of power due to how the black community will benefit from it.

They want what would be local tax money to be spent elsewhere in the state - most likely among those who voted for the comptroller.

That thumb of a comptroller actually started the process of forcibly taking control the next day.

Well, how else can state officials attempt to extort Ford for “campaign donations” if there’s a whole layer of local government in their way?

Modern conservatives’ motto should be “Small Government For Me But Not For Thee.”

I know it’s Tenessee but damn that’s on the nose. (“These black folk don’t know how money works, unlike those white folk who were efficient in their fraud!”)

Townhouses, note multiple front doors.

Musk is a cunt. 

Tracksuit Mafia was probably my favorite bad guy organization from any of the Marvel movies/shows (including Netflix). They were fantastic.

Hawkeye quickly looking pretty timely.

Navigable ship channels can be quite a bit smaller ...
