Melton Meltdown: The Latest
The Clarion-Ledger reports this morning on the latest in the professional nosedive of Jackson Mayor Frank Melton who, among a slew of other high-profile embarrassments over the course of his first year in office, now stands accused of being present at – and possibly taking part in – the destruction of a dwelling a couple of a weeks ago. The same night, officials are now investigating the Mayor’s presence at a city night club where the manager claims he was roughed up by goons in the Melton entourage.
Meanwhile, the attorney for the property owner of the house the Mayor’s posse allegedly took sledgehammers to, says he’ll file suit against the the mayor and the city.
