The election is nigh! In under 30 days Columbus will choose a Mayor and a City Council. Gaskin is issuing strong statements against the crime that is obviously spiking. Mayor Smith is moving to the gutter of race politics. Already. Meanwhile, the Fire House project is being soaked in a huge ‘money grab’. Does Columbus regularly pay $3 million for something worth only $1 million? Wait...I guess it does. Take the Amphitheater for example. They have $3.2 million in it already and it is unfinished. A pattern is emerging on how Mayor Smith manages projects.

Just 45 days until the next election in Possumtown. I feel it will be a landslide. The opposite side hasn’t really started yet. So we need to run like we are behind still. I know they will spring something upon us. But they have been pretty quiet.

Greetings and welcome to episode 7. It’s political season and things are heating up.

We just had an election, a primary election. It was all very interesting.

Columbus Mississippi is having a crucial election. This is when most of the candidates came together and presented their plans.

In this episode I sit down with my father, Gordon Orr, who is 85 years old and has been instrumental in bringing modern hotels into Columbus. We discuss his career. Also, I discuss a new movement called End the Hunt Slump. And it’s aimed at the incompetence shown by city leaders in leading hunt middle school continue to deteriorate with no end in sight.

The leading candidate to unseat Mayor Smith is an independent named Keith Gaskin. We interview him. You get to meet the man that everyone is talking about.

This is episode 2. We discuss the school system, crime, real estate, and getting past the current regime in this upcoming election that is responsible for so much stagnation in Columbus.

Oh Columbus! Where for art thou Columbus? Our jewel of a city has been mismanaged. Someone, anyone, can you please help our dear Columbus?
