wants to revoke Highland Plantation's resort status and effectively kill Cowbells. Cutting off a source of tax revenue in this economy sounds like a great
idea.

Dolph goes to my church, and I know him personally. He is not a bad guy. I see both sides where people are coming from here, but I tend to think that place
drives down the appeal of the real estate out there. Being a former resident of the highlands, I thought there was way too much drunk driving out there
anyways, and this was before Cowbells even opened. It is just a place for drunk people to go after the regular bars close.

When there's a party to break up at 2am, can the deputies put a call in to a state trooper to take care of it? Also, how should the sheriff feel when he
has to have double the Sunday manpower now as he did 10 years ago? If he's fiscally responsible at all, he should identify the problem and work to
eliminate it.
Also... when you see one bar from your college days torn down to rubble and another burn to the ground, we'll talk about a part of you dying. |

I was just thinking that It cant be much more work to have another patrolman on duty on sunday night on 182. I guess you know more about the intricacies of the
police force in the starkville area. And im sure your talking about Flo and Eddies with the burnt down bar... but which one was turned to rubble?

The sheriff is complaining for too many arrests coming from the area.
They set up roadblocks around that area all the time. Naturally, the percentage of drunk driving arrests is going to be higher in that area. |

I had two run ins with the SO in Starkville, one of which was pretty serious. Both times Dolph Bryan was firm, but fair. It made a difference. And I agree with the other posters, every county has a bunch of jealous idiots who claim their sheriff is on the take. Sometimes it could be true ( I know of a sheriff who took his inmates to the dentist to have teeth pulled, then stole their pain pills), but it's unfair to blanket all sheriffs with the statement. Robert Elliot lives across the street from me. I was watching the whole fucking time. The Ole Miss coaches came out of the house and Croom and Melvin Smith
pull up on dubz riding spinners. Freeze gets pissed and whips out his cell phone. Croom and Smith pull off with Jermaine Dupree blaring "Money Ain't a
Thing." Croom flipped off the Ole Miss coaches as they were riding off.

I lived out there in 2001-2004. The people who originally built out there were royally screwed. They paid for the initial lots and build according to the
original covenants. Different house plans were a requirement. Houses had to be brick or stucco. Then the owner sells out for a quick buck and converts it
into student housing. The original home owners were stuck with rapidly decreasing property values and an abundance of cheaper housing. The owner was a dick
who screwed a lot of folks just for a quick buck.

I disagree. Are you saying that there are no DS's patroling.. | #39 | ||

Posts: 5667 03/03/09 09:58 AM |
..on a Sunday? I can tell you that out in the County, Sundays are busy nights. I dont think he needs more manpower to patrol.The DS's are already out there
on Sundays. Hell just one cruiser in the area would suffice.

if all Sunday tax revenue coming out of Cowbells went to his office. However, it goes in the county's general fund which means he probably sees very
little.
I don't have a problem at all with Bryan. As Mississippi sheriffs go, he's probably one of the best. In terms of major crimes, his office is pretty good at extracting information from a wide variety of sources. He knows which buttons to push. Thus, if Cowbells is causing him problems, then I'll be on his side - as much as I would hate to see it go. But, like I said before, if Starkville would legalize Sunday sales, then Bryan's problems would go away. |
