Talk:C. Jack Ellis

message: Is it just me or is this article pretty biased?  No mention of any of his various scandals or anything?  This is the guy who preached solidarity with Hugo Chavez!  Wasn't he under investigation for fraud as well?  Everything about this article seems to be written by one of his fan boys, right down to the selection of the glamor shot photograph.  It's fair to say this guy is remembered more for his ineptness than his successes?  I mean, this is the guy who used taxpayer dollars to travel to Africa!  What on earth does Macon have to do with Ghana?  What can Ghana provide Macon?
~I am in the process of updating his website, but my work scheadule  is pretty rough so I don't have alot of free time. Also, our local News agency, The Macon Telegraph hasn't done a good job of saving their online articles. The Macon Telegraph is regarded as a highly liberal paper, so they don't keep negative stuff about Democrats on their page for long. Im currently getting alot of my information from Blogs kept by local politicians from the Bibb County Commissioners office and Macon City Council members.
Jun,28- It seems some Ellis FanBoys have gotten to this article and removed basically everything but the positive. Time to put the truth back into this article. Also, I have contacted Macon.com for copies of their Articles about Jack Ellis and the documents on his Mismanagement of Federal funds, They say the records have been deleted.
BTW, he wasnt under investigation for fraud, hes was under investigation for $300,000 in missing Federal funds that went missing, also, the records he says shows that the money was spent, which was kept by his appointed Police Chief Monroe, have vanished. The city of Macon wanted to cooperate in the investigation, but certain City Council members and State Reps refused to help. So the city of Macon ended up paying back the $300,000.
I was just about to comment on the lack of info concerning his, shall we say, more colorful incidents, and his possible role in the closing of Brown & Williamson—though blame for that must be shared by all of Macon's so-called leadership, who will eventually cause the city to become a suburb of Greater Warner Robins.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.16.210.18 (talk) 01:51, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scandals? 

message: Suggested move due to his attested attempt at name changing. 68.39.174.238 03:30, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose, for now. I like the idea in theory (I was the one who put the new name in the intro, after all), but I want to see how the media and Ellis himself actually use the new name to see how it will develop. (As in, will he be known as "Hakim Ellis", "Hakim M. Ellis", "H. Mansour Ellis", "Hakim 'Jack' Ellis" or what?) Rationale being, I don't think we should move it and then later realize it should've been moved elsewhere. For now, the media is still using "C. Jack", so I think we should stick with that until a consensus emerges from other media outlets saying otherwise. --SuperNova |T|C| 05:21, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Whoops -- I learned of the change and went ahead with the move prior to checking the talk page. Sorry for leaping before looking. I'll leave it to whoever best knows how to handle the situation to correct my mistake. Erechtheus 18:06, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move Hakim Mansour Ellis? 

message: since his name has not been changed, he is just proposing the change, the title should be changed back to C. Jack Ellis, rather than hakeem.

thread_title:  CHANGE TITLE BACK? 

message: Is there any particular reason why "Ellis spent ... a police officer." is in bold font?
Other than that it's almost the day of the runoff and this makes him look bad? 98.164.153.193 (talk) 07:08, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
