On Thursday, January 7, 2021, I qualified to continue to serve you as Ridgeland Alderman at Large, and fight shoulder to shoulder with you to stop this absurd garbage dump!!! We have made great strides since I joined the fight in 2008 as your Madison County Supervisor, and continuing the fight as your Alderman at Large since February 2012! In 2010-12, we could not get Ridgeland to join us in opposition to the dump. They were being given false information by some members of the Board of Supervisors who supported the dump. So, we had a small group of fighters in 2011 and 2012 but we had DEQ, and Hinds County, on our side in opposing the proposed dump, and the DEQ Permit Board denied the permit application in Nov 2012 due to setback distances! We thought the dump was dead forever!</p><p> Now the staff at DEQ has flip flopped and support the dump with reduced setback distances that do not meet guidelines! It’s all about greed for political contributions, and not about need!!! Sadly, many politicians are looking out for what is best for them, and not what is best for those who elected them!</p><p> In January 2008, the Madison County Board of Supervisors hired Eric Hammer to serve as the Board ATTORNEY; previously Eric had served as the attorney for the developer of the dump! Also, the Board of Supervisors hired one of the current developers of the dump to update the Madison County Solid Waste Plan, which established the need for the dump! In the calculations for need, the contractor used numbers twice the national average to estimate residential waste for Madison County households, and no consideration of recycling!</p><p> It is hard to win against this kind of corruption and cronyism political decisions. Two members of the Board of Supervisors have voted for the dump numerous times since as early as 1998... Karl Banks and Paul Griffin, who now serve as the President and Vice President of the Madison County BoS! Karl is currently doing everything he can to get the dump approved!</p><p> I’ve committed to doing everything humanly possible and legal to stop this proposed dump! The City of Ridgeland has Annexed the proposed dump area, and an appeal to that case is currently before the State Supreme Court.</p><p> Tuesday night, the City of Ridgeland Aldermen voted to not be included in the Madison County Solid Waste Plan, those reducing the County solid waste disposal need by approximately 25% since our garbage goes to Scott County! Again, reducing the need for any more dumps Madison County!!!</p><p> This is not over... So we are not through yet! I want to keep working for you in helping fight this environmental injustice! </p><p><b><i>Your Vote and Influence are GREATLY APPRECIATED!</i></b></p><p>D.I. </p><p>D.I.

Get VET Designation on your Mississippi Drivers LicenseMississippi has issued its first driver's license designed for military veterans.
The presentation was made Thursday at a Highway Patrol office in Pearl.
Officials say Mississippi is one of 16 states offering a "veteran" designation on driver's licenses and other state-issued documents.
There are approximately 200,000 veterans who call Mississippi home.
Certification from the Mississippi Veteran's Affairs Board must be presented before the new veteran's license can be obtained. <a href="http://goo.gl/UgqXv">Click this link to print the instructions to obtain "certification" by the Veterans Affairs Board</a>.
Veterans who wish to obtain the credential in advance of the normal renewal period must pay the associated replacement fees to get the document.

--------------------<br />
Today after nearly 4 hours of listening to presentations and discussion by the DEQ STAFF, the NCL Landfill developer's legal and engineering staff, and concerned citizens, the Mississippi Environmental Quality Permit Board voted to accept the recommendation of the DEQ Staff for a 500' setback distance, and denied the proposed permit application! So unless this decision is overturned in the courts, the proposed NCL Municipal Landfill is dead.<br />
<br />
This process started 12 years ago when the developer approached the Madison County Board of Supervisor asking to rezone the property to allow a landfill!<br />
<br />
It has already been to the Supreme Court once when the Madison County Solid Waste Management Plan was amended to add the proposed landfill. The Madison County Plan had been approved by the Mississippi Commission on Environmental Quality with the recommendation that Permit Board consider and require a greater than 500' setback...<br />
<br />
The "need" for an additional landfill and environmental discrimination have not been fully analyzed and were not part of today's decision.<br />
<br />
Thanks for all those who took an interest in the what is going on and had the opportunity to attend and participate in today's meeting! You made a difference!<br />
<br />
ALSO, THANKS to the DEQ staff who did an outstanding job! They have worked hard over the years to ensure the public was informed and had the opportunity to provide input!<br />

ALDERMAN-AT-LARGE - Ridgeland; Tuesday, Feb 7, 2012 </a></b></span><br />
<br />
<b>Ridgeland -- D.I. Smith has officially announced his campaign for election as City of Ridgeland Alderman at Large.</b><br />
<br />
D.I. pledges to maintain his commitment to low taxes, open government
and job creation. “We have a great city because our neighborhoods are
strong, our business climate is favorable and our taxes are affordable.”
“As your next Alderman at large, I want to build on these strengths
while making Ridgeland greater through the South East Ridgeland
Redevelopment and protecting our property values through strong code
enforcement and being proactive in fighting crime."<br />
<br />
D.I. earned the reputation as a watchdog for taxpayers over the last
four years when he helped raise awareness about property taxes in
Madison County and provided online resources for taxpayers and to stay
informed about issues in the community.<br />
<br />
Smith was a champion of homeowner issues as a member of the Madison
County Board of Supervisors. He led the fight to renew curbside
recycling for the County and helped subdivisions get speedbumps, signage
and additional traffic calming measures, and DI took the lead on
informing property owners about the new FEMA flood maps, allowing
effected subdivisions and property owners to take timely action to avoid
massive increases in their property insurance costs.<br />
<br />
DI Smith is a member of the Greater Jackson Chamber Partnership,
Ridgeland Chamber of Commerce, the City of Madison Chamber, the Madison
County Chamber of Commerce, Military Officers Association of America,
Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association, Army Aviation Association of
America, the Army War College Alumni Association, and the
Madison-Ridgeland American Legion Post. He has also done extensive
research, writing and speaking about programs affecting the military.<br />
<br />
D. I. and his wife, Linda, are members of Highland Colony Baptist Church, Ridgeland, MS; where DI also serves as a Deacon.<br />
<br />
You can find D.I. on Facebook at <a href="http://facebook.com/dismithj">http://facebook.com/dismithj</a> and on Twitter at <a href="http://twitter.com/dismithj" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/dismithj</a><br />

<br />
There were over 1,000 absentee ballots submitted in Madison County. There were also scores of affidavit ballots and paper ballots completed when machines were not working. <br />
<br />
Many of the absentee ballots are having to be "transcribed" to a scanable ballot to allow them to be machine counted. So, no absentee ballots have been "COUNTED".. that will be done by the scanner. <br />
<br />
The processing of absentee ballots will resume at 1pm today. After all absentee ballots are completed, affidavit and paper ballots will be processed.<br />
<br />
Hopefully, we will have official results sometime later today (Thur).Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586741662297493615.post-79467437770342708832011-07-24T19:47:00.005-05:002011-12-29T13:43:04.083-06:00ReElect D.I.
