While The Pigs Get Fat The Hogs Get Slaughtered


According to Saporta Report, it appears financial-backer of Kasim Reed, Mack Wilbourn, has been “too successful” to continue to participate in government set-aside programs. 

The irony?  The program worked as it was supposed to.

Now Mack and Dan Halpern, another concessionaire in trouble with the FAA, are putting the program at risk for other minority-owned companies.

Wilbourn has been a concessionaire at the Atlanta airport, and other airports, for decades.  He has participated in a program that was designed to help minority-owned companies become more established and successful.   ,

It seems that unlike HJ Russell (an airport concessionaire who is also African-American), Wilbourn has been unwilling to get out of the public trough.  Wilbourn, like Russell, had the ability and capacity to compete head-to-head with the big companies but he chose not to go that route.  Russell competed and won.  Now Wilbourn is poised to lose it all.  According to Sparort Report, he’ll find out next month.

Next up to bat with the FAA:  Daniel Halpern, Kasim Reed’s campaign chairman.  Daniel has to defend his contracts with the Atlanta airport on two fronts. 

First Daniel has to explain why his partners, Valerie Jackson and Brooke Jackson, should continue to be considered “economically disadvantaged” even though their personal wealth was too high (like Wilbourn’s) to make the program standards.

Secondly, and more complicated for Daniel, will be his own status.  It seems Daniel has a problem with his identity.  It‘s been reported that Daniel has fraudulently described himself as a member of a protected minority class: Native American.  Daniel is not a Native American.

Mouth-breathers on Trinity Street


Apparently, the crazies over in Kasim-Land are spouting off about how they’re packing for the nation’s capital.  I’d just refer you to my post on September 25,2012, and remind the mouth-breathers on Trinity Street that  “Wanting” and “Doing” are two different things.  Kasim has a few hurdles to cross before his sycophants should start buying packing tape.

A Fish Rots from the Head


Kasim Reed’s Administration is overseeing a fake documents mill. 

According to longtime city hall WAGA reporter Morse Diggs, the Reed administration has been overseeing what may turn out to be the largest “CASH FOR CREDENTIALS” scam in the city's history.

In what is being called an “extensive” document falsification scam, Reed administration officials were Creating, Selling and Validating documents needed to secure city employment. 

Click here to see the evolving story.  This will be big.  

Because of the way city election politics work, Reed will have to be particularly careful not to upset city employees with his "investigations and findings.”  

Without city employees he cannot win reelection.  Look for Reed to water down the crimes and the punishment.

Kasim Reed’s got 99 problems but a **@&% ain’t one

Kasim Reed (L) with Jay-Z (R)
While Kasim may like hangin’ with Jay-Z, Reed's accumulating his own “99 Problems.” 

Now, Reed’s trying to use his power and influence to push back on those who are pushing on him.  Project Q outlined his approach the best when it wrote,

"Mayor Kasim Reed sicced a Republican attorney…to quash comments alleging that Atlanta’s chief executive is either a manwhore who likes watching lesbian sex or a guy who hires single young men for gay sex on the down low."

According to Project Q Reed’s fighting on several fronts – click here to see

Just take a look at some of the 99 problems:

Reed’s got Anti-Choice, Pro-Hypocrisy Problems
Reed’s got US Attorney Problems
Reed’s got Booty-licious Problems

And the list goes on…Reelection is right around the corner.
