Byram Municipal Elections in 2013

Our municipal government here in Byram was sworn in, in a very underhanded way, in 2009, when it was too late to have municipal elections that year. We got stuck with a government installed by Haley Barbour, Phil Bryant, and Delbert Hosemann. For a dozen years, "Mayor" Nick Tremonte and the five-member board of aldermen called themselves a municipal government. That should be illegal if it's not, and I believe it is.

They said they didn't want to be the real government when we incorporated. They lied. They said that they would not give the people on the south side of Forest Hill Road over to Jackson. They lied.

They have spent money. They have made laws. They have zoned property. They have raised our property taxes. They have raised the rates of our water and trash pick-up. They are in the process of deciding the political boundaries of our wards for the election of aldermen. The "mayor" does not live inside the city limits.

You had better learn who will be running for office in Byram in 2013.
