Ben Logan, these men are an embarassment to people who have trusted them in their leadership roles. They need to step down. Then this will stop! Evidently voters are sick and tired of this kind of scandalous behavior from our leaders.

ms_unda_stuud2,

His personal life has everything to do with his job performance when he is having an affair with a subordinate in the Lee County School Central Office. This affair is affecting his ability to perform effectively in a leadership position.

leelady9, You state that you don't agree with Mr. Scott's or Franks misconduct. So if you won't vote for Jamie Franks, then hopefully you won't vote for Mr. Scott either.

I dont think this should have been splashed across the front page the only reason it was is Jamie! Who i have seen out with a girl that is about 25 now then she was about 21 she was sitting in his lap at a bar here in Tupelo then they proceeded to leave together! So why would he care if he can do it and get her not to tell because of his career in politics, Why cant she? I dont agree with it at all on either part but it makes me mad that he would put it out in the open just to embarrass him and her! He has been doing it alot longer than her! KICK HIM OUT OF OFFICE! HE IS ELECTED I HAVENT AND WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM EVER!

I have to question why this took so long? The public has cried out about this for months now. However, I am glad it is opened up to the public. I hope all of you who are as outraged about this as I am express your feelings to Scott and the School Board.

Hopefully, in the future this will help the Lee County Democratic Executive Committee ask different questions, and dig deeper into potential candidates they blanket with their seal of approval.

Way to go Lee County Democratic Executive Committee for exposing one of your own! This is rare, yet refreshing! Kudos...

There are children involved here (over 5000 of them) and that Mr. Logan is why this cannot be dropped until Mr. Scott resigns. As far as Mr. Scott's children and all of ours in the Lee County School District, he is the one doing the dragging.

Man up and resign already!

Folks,

Stop this. Everybody who has half a brain knows what is going on here, and has picked sides--for whatever reason.

Stop it. You too, Daily Journal.

There are children who are involved here, and they didn't do a thing to be dragged through this.

Jamie, Eric, what you have done is shameful. It has almost ruined the Lee County Democratic Party and subjected yourselves and your friends to disrepute. And it is most of all unmanly.

For the good of the community. Stop. All of you.

Ben Logan

I just wanted to let Mr. Scott know there are many taxpayers in this large district who want and deserve answers. Yes, you do answer to the public just in case you have forgotten that.

He's having affairs while on the job with district employees subordinate to him. How can anyone sensible say this has NOTHING to do with his job performance? Come on... surely you can do better than this.

Scott's personal life should be just that, PERSONAL! I feel as though they(the board) are airing Scott's dirty laundry because they're mad! But why are you mad at him when he's not the only guilty party? I say leave Scott alone and let him do his job! His PERSONAL life has NOTHING to do with his job performance which has been spectacular year after year!

msbaseball, you state "Let Scott do his job and handle his personal business." That is just it, he is not doing his job and attending to personal "business" as you call it during taxpayer funded business hours. I question, are you a taxpayer in Lee County? Are you a parent with a child in Lee County School District?

(westonsmom) I do know and I do know he is not over your kids! He is over one of mine and I think Mike Scott has executed and upheld his duties at the "Lee" county Superintendent. Eric and Jamie are out of line and their soon coming disposition will illustrate their political falls.

I believe Mike Scott is an outstanding role model for the students as well as the teachers in the Lee Co. School District. He has taught in the Lee Co. District for decades and no one knows his job better than he. I wish I could say the same for the other individual bringing this allegation to light. Let's state the truth here...This is all about a husband and fellow democrat gone mad and can't relate to the fact that his wife may have just been lonely because of all his out of town trips. What do you do on these out of town trips anyway? Besides spend taxpayers’ money on worthless things. Talk about an elected official abusing his power! Look in the mirror Mr. Democrat. We know who you are and this is all about jealousy and getting even. Why don't we leave the thorns in the rose bush? This is just a humiliation act to settle a score. I noticed the woman remains a mystery (to some). Well, I say, (Mr. We'll keep your name out of it for now), just didn't get caught! As far as casting a poor light and unfavorable character, that's just being a political figure in Mississippi! Name one that doesn’t do that each time they stand in public!!! Let Scott do his job and handle his personal business.

It would be "slinging mud" so to speak to mention what he did. Or, in nice circles, it is just something that just should not be discussed in a public forum like this.

Having said that, when this situation first came to light in the spring, it was rumored that Scott needed to step down, and soon, or else. He has not, so I guess this is the next step. But that sure is going to open the door for the mud slinging.

What did he do?

I agree with you completely and I know what he did and also who he did it to. The "who he did it" to is the reason the Democratic committee is asking him to step down. I just find it ironic that the Democrats are giving moral advice.

To be clear, I think he should step down.

Do you know what he did ? If you knew you would not want him over your kids.

He can run as an Independent.
