Answer: We don’t know. Question: When will we know? Answer: When you see white smoke coming out of the chimney at Town Hall. It may take a while. Slim Smith Today at noon, election commissioner Ken Byars will count the votes from Tuesday’s municipal election for the fourth time. And even that may not decide which of the two candidates — incumbent Bill Lawrence or challenger Mitch Wiggins — will assume the mayor’s duty when the town’s board of aldermen hold their next meeting on July 6. A summary of the events since the polls closed at 7 p.m. Tuesday: Shortly after the polls closed, election commissioner Ken Byars began the count, reading the choices for mayor and aldermen from each ballot, with three ladies recording the votes. Before beginning that count, Byars announced that 319 votes were cast Tuesday with 24 more absentee ballots to be counted immediately after those 319 ballots were counted. There were another eight affidavit votes which would either be validated or rejected on Wednesday morning, which is customary. The first indication of problems came early on Tuesday. There were repeated delays, with the ladies recording the votes asking Byars to slow down or repeat himself throughout the process. It seemed as though almost ever ballot reading came with a delay of some sort. How slow was the process? It took almost five hours for Tuesday’s count, far longer than anyone who had gathered to watch the proceedings could ever remember. That did not exactly inspire confidence of the 30 or so people who stuck around the hear the results. Finally, at 11:45 p.m., the count had ended and Byars announced that Lawrence held a 172-170 lead, which meant that any valid affidavits votes could confirm or alter the outcome. Byars announced that when the commission met to consider those affidavit ballots, they would also recount the vote, which all parties agreed was a really, really, really good idea. The first recount, according to Byars, was The Trump Presidency a 171-171 tie. On the next recount, Lawrence led 172-171. Three counts. Three different outcomes.

Labor secretary defends merging anti-discrimination agencies

By LAURIE KELLMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Cutting and merging two agencies that investigate workplace discrimination won’t reduce the gov- ernment’s enforcement power, Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta said Wednesday. But Demo- crats pointed to what they say is President Donald Trump’s broader effort to roll back decades of civil rights protections. “Department of Labor is going to allow, now, dis- crimination to run ram- pant,” Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., told Acosta at a hearing on Trump’s bud- get, which proposed the changes. Trump’s budget rec- ommends merging the office that enforces civil rights among federal con- tractors with the inde- pendent Equal Employee Opportunity Commission, which handles complaints against private business- es. The administration says the proposal will save taxpayer money. But the idea has generated oppo- sition from both employ- ers and workers’ groups, who fear such a move would create a sort of su- per enforcement agency that would dilute inves- tigations but carry over- whelming punitive power.

She listed the achieve- ments as major infra- structure improvements ($19,000 to renovate the li- brary, a $4.3 million water system overhaul, major renovations/additions at Ola J. Pickett Park) and an expansion of the town’s tax base. “When I started, we had no tax base, probably no more than $1,000 in sales tax per month,” she said. “I think our town budget was around $100,000, if that,” she said. “One of the things we did was to developed 20 acres the town owned. We were able to divide that property into a business park. We got a (Mississippi Development Authority) loan to pay of the water/sewer and lighting and turned that into 14 parcels and sold all of them. That was really the beginning. Today, we have all the things you need in a community, a drug store, a wonderful grocery store, some retail. Almost all of what you see today came after that first development plan.” When Willis leaves office in July, the annual town budget of a little more than $430,000 will
