That's not all he voted against. He consistently votes against Payroll and then cashes his checks. Do actions speak louder then words? Recently, Burnett has changed his vote from no to abstain. What's that all about? Remember too, Burnett has been on the Board of Supervisors since 1999. Burnett was a member of the Boards who built all of these facilities without feasibility studies. Burnett was a member of the Boards who didn't recognize that the decrease in gaming revenue meant an increase in taxes to maintain the same level of life style. Burnett didn't want to change to another health insurance company for better rates and more service. What was that all about? Well, it was found that we were pretty much self insured...we were paying insurance premiums and we were paying medical bills. IMHO, Burnett consistently votes for the good old boys way of doing business rather then progressive more forward thinking best practices. Here's an example: Mid-South Fair. What happened to that? Well, let's start with we had no contract. I wrote a letter to the Editor in the Tunica Times titled "Say it isn't so..." I asked to be put on the agenda and addressed the Board of Supervisors. When I asked about a contract, I was told we don't need a contract. We gave them 161 acres. Well, how did that work out for us? What about all of these plants and no jobs for Tunica? How's that working for us?
Between 2000 and 2011, there were decisions made and money spent that was not good for Tunica County. I'm not talking here about "vision". I'm talking about sound business practices. Let's ask Burnett and others to answer for their decisions.
