I wanted to use this post to talk about the strained relationship that exists between Hattiesburg mayor Johnny Dupree and the city council. Hattiesburg politics have been a hot-button issue ever since Johnny Dupree's controversial victory over Dave Ware. Now we are in the midst of more drama that stems from Dupree submitting his nominations for certain vacant positions within Hattiesburg. This has left the city council with no choice but to file a lawsuit that will ultimately force Mayor Dupree to fill the vacancies.
This is a classic example of a professional relationship gone wrong. Any professionalism that existed between the two parties is long gone. Both are airing one another's dirty laundry publicly which is a blatant indicator that productivity has come to a stand-still. For the sake of Hattiesburg, let's hope the future holds more accountable professionals who know how to work through adversity.
