Come on people....someone has to hate this guy! He is not from here and and no one probably has ever laid eyes on him, but live up to your reputation Pike County and complain about this new hire.

I guess if you whine & belly ache enough the government will do anything to shut up the citizens. Sounds like a bunch of Obamacrats we "want, want, want give me! give me!

:)

Looks like JC Morrison got his wish for the taxpayers to pay his fireworks entertainment.

Isn't marro one of the bad ones everyone was wanting to get rid of? Why did he leave?

#3.1 Also anon on 04/28/10 at 01:57 PM

He was fired. They found questionable X-rated sites on his county laptop computer and calls to pay-as-you-enjoy 900 numbers on his county cell. Think he moved back to New York City.

His close friend and code enforcement officer still has her laptop computer. Do just department heads and county executives have take home laptop computers? David Allen has no clue, everything to David is "generic." Hey David, can you find a copy of that official letter?

I wonder sometimes how we, as the wonderful community that we are, can believe that it is more important to have fireworks go off than take all of that $ and take out the meth makers, dealers and users. I mean give me a break! If it did come down to the taxpayers moneys, then I would have to go without the fireworks. Sorry

It's much more than Fireworks, It's a coming together of the Community. A time to be with Friends Old and New. A time to celebrate the past and see hope in the future. It's the biggest Community event We have and we nearly lost it because of crabby old people like you.

#4.1.1 US Veteran to JC on 04/28/10 at 07:51 AM

JC, you address yourself as a Patriot. What have you done for your country? As the Pollcat administrator who deletes and bans those who disagree with your views does not make you the Hero Patriot. The taxpayers just threw you $1,000 for your Patriot fireworks so enjoy yourself. Get you a free hotdog for that one.

#4.1.1.1 Amen on 04/28/10 at 05:34 PM

Thank you for that post.

#4.1.2 Firehouse Cornbread on 04/28/10 at 08:18 AM

JC is a cooking patriot. Right now he is baking his world famous Firehouse Cornbread for Fire Chief Hendersons lunch. We salute Patriot JC.

#4.1.3 Justice on 04/28/10 at 11:34 AM

You can be with friends old and new, celebrate the past and see hope in the future at home with a cook-out and fireworks from Wal-Mart.

#5 Thank You on 04/28/10 at 07:20 AM

I do have a question about the fireworks, will they be on Saturday the third or Sunday the fourth? Thanks a bunch.

#5.1 your welcome on 04/28/10 at 10:41 AM

The fireworks will not be on Sunday, that is JC biscuit day. In honor of this great patriot JC Morrison, the day will be named JC FIREWORKS DAY. You taxpayers just paid a $1,000 toward it so enjoy it.

#6 Taxpayer on 04/28/10 at 08:28 AM

Where is the rest of the $9000 coming from? Just because the County threw in $1000, we still need more. What did you all do before they started having the fireworks display??

#6.1 Old timer on 04/28/10 at 07:05 PM

We sat around watching "Bug Zappers".

#7 me crabby old person on 04/28/10 at 09:34 AM

Patriot John C. Morrison that was uncalled for. You are no Paul Revere, you are not the leader nor saviour of our county. Go wrap yourself in a flag and sing yankee doodle dandy, I'll send you some sparklers but get FC Hendersons permission to lite them.

#7.1 Anonymous on 04/28/10 at 11:27 AM

Wow, You'd think it was JC that just got hired as County Manager.

#8 John Hoover on 04/28/10 at 11:51 AM

Fireworks on Sunday? No way, God will strike you dead while all the bible thumpers wail. Even though the 4th of July is on a Sunday it can not be celebrated only observed. And don't even think of having it on a Thursday night. We can be patriotic, support our troops or come together as a community on any day but Sunday.

#8.1 Patriot Homeowner in Pike on 04/29/10 at 07:21 AM

Thank you John Hoover. Sunday would completely change the routine of the Biscuit Man, I am not a multitasker. I might even start attending services and sitting on a pew rather than eating my chocolate syrup biscuit and shooting the breeze.

#9 Blog Sales on 04/28/10 at 01:17 PM

It would appear that profits from the sales of ladies handbags, crockpots, jerseys, perfume, tennis shoes and flags made in China on the Pollcat would be donated to the Patriot Fireworks Show. Do it for our county.

#10 Fireworks Fund Raiser on 05/01/10 at 05:07 AM

Opp's sorry, there were not enough life vests to go around, Rob Morton cannot swim and does not trust anyone of the patriots in the boat.

#11 Foul PJR on 05/01/10 at 07:01 AM

Where is the rest of the fundraiser story?
Come on Rachel don't be a JC Morrison Pollcatter.

#12 Holy Molie on 05/03/10 at 02:54 PM

Parrish Swift and Roosevelt Willis did you say $85,400 for a county manager then give him a year to decide to move to Pike County? Is this your last hooray at dunking on the citizens of Pike? What is wrong with the county clerk and no county manager???
Do you guys know we are out of money and frills????????????????????????????

#13 Saturday events on 05/14/10 at 04:44 AM

The flyer says pie throwing at Parrish Swift on the courthouse square. My question is can we bring our own pies? I would be happy to donate more money if this would be allowed.

#14 Major announcement on 05/16/10 at 10:12 AM

Pike Patriot Homeowner JC Morrison announced enough money collected from his bake sale that taxpayer money will not be needed. Wonderful news Patriot. Be sure and get a receipt when you take the $1,000 back to the BOC.

#14.1 Front page on 05/18/10 at 09:43 AM

This is wonderful news for our county. Let's hope everyone remembers Patriot JC Morrison did not do it all alone. There were a lot of hot kitchens for the baked goodies. Should be a group picture returning the $1,000 to the county.
