Rules for thee but not for me!
At the City Council meeting yesterday, Mayor Jackie Sikes was forced to make a public statement. The City Council has unveiled a rule requiring her to get city permission before spending city money. She tried to claim it was ILLEGAL. This comes as Mayor Jackie continues to blow through city money on lavish trips without any permission at all.
Yet at that same meeting, Mayor Jackie suggested that there isn’t enough money in the budget for the city’s Animal Control to go to a conference. Meanwhile, Jackie just went to a conference in Jonesboro spending city money without any permission at all.

Mayor Jackie Gets Physically Upset
At the City Council meeting yesterday, Mayor Jackie Sikes was notified of a new potential rule requiring her and other city officials to ask permission from the council before spending city funds.
Jackie WRONGLY tried to claim this was illegal:
“After talking to Municipal League, They said that this basically is not legal. Ok?”
AJ, who is Fairfield Bay’s attorney, told Jackie that it is legal. That changes can be made to the rule making it work, but that they could discuss it later if needed:
“The Municipal League kind of gave a synopsis of what could be done… I think it would be relatively easy to incorporate what you suggested, which is make it a purely procedural thing. “
AJ continued, saying that they could discuss the new ordinance details in March if she didn’t want to discuss it right then:
“Want to discuss it in the next work session in March?”
Jackie took a big sigh, looked down at the table, and agreed that the issue could be discussed in March.

Rules For Thee But Not For Me!
At this same City Council meeting, Jackie suggested that there wasn’t enough city money for Fairfield Bay’s Animal Control to go to a special conference that they requested to visit.
Meanwhile, Mayor Jackie just days ago blew city money on a lavish trip for herself with Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders that the city did not approve.
The fact that she can do something so unethical privately while forcing others to play by the rules is another example of why it’s time to get rid of Mayor Jackie Sikes once and for all.
PLEASE NOTE: A movement has launched to recall Mayor Jackie Sikes by a group called “We (the MAJORITY of) the People of Fairfield Bay” to remove Jackie Sikes. Many other scandals and issues can be read about here.
