***BREAKING - Starkville GOP mayoral candidate, Dan Moreland, has failed to pay light bill for Starkville parks; will cost $180,000***

The Columbus Dispatch has just reported that the Starkville Parks Commission, an entity autonomous from the city, has failed to pay its light bill for quite some time.  The Commission is run by the Republican mayoral nominee Dan Moreland, who faces incumbent Starkville mayor Parker Wiseman in tomorrow's mayoral race.

The Commission will have to pay just under $180,000.00 to get current on the bills, which are reportedly at least 5 months overdue.

Talk about your bad timing.
