Scott Ross Elected Mayor of West Point

Date: Jul 28, 2005

I'm amazed that the IHL doesn't have guidelines in place for this sort of thing. Does anyone know of anything? I guess Ross just wouldn't have ignored them, but this truly is amazing. Dare I say "only in Mississippi?"

Was Bobby Chain mayor of Hattiesburg before , during or after he was on the IHL Board?

Good question. I don't know the answer but hope someone on the board does.

Bobby Chain served on the IHL Board from 1972 to 1984, and was elected Hattiesburg mayor in 1980.

the northeast mississippi daily journal wrote a story about a possible conflict of interest shortly after ross was elected. i tried, unsuccessfully, to find the story written by capitol bureau reporter bobby harrison. if i remember right, this is permissible in mississippi.

CL on May 9, 2005 ran this story:

"AG: OK to be mayor, on board"

Summary: The AG's office said it is legal for Ross to hold both jobs at the same time.

I interpret Ross's election as mayor as a positive. He has been able to pursuade 50% plus one voters in his town that he is a capable leader. Who would vote for Roy Klumb?
