More Entertaining Than YOUR Local Council Meeting

Leland Alderwoman Mala Brooks was dragged screaming for a Board of Aldermen meeting last week.

Last year, former Leland Mayor Barbara Brooks and her daughter, Mala Brooks, wrote several checks totaling nearly $12,000 without approval from the Board of Aldermen, current Leland Mayor James Lowe said. The two went to the Mississippi Coast and stayed at the Beau Rivage Casino and Resort for a conference, but the Board of Aldermen hadn’t given approval to the trip, Lowe said.

Two weeks ago, the city asked the two to pay the nearly $12,000 back. Mala Brooks said the checks involved payments for legitimate expenses.

Well it’s not all old white guys in polyester suits so I’m guessing it’s not the Republican party. Amirite?

I don’t know, she was screaming about racist black people – sounds like a Republican to me.

I like the logic behind “if I hide under the table, maybe the police will go away!”
