Hattiesburg airport director: Essential Air Service program needs to be revised, not eliminated

» USM to purchase aquaculture facility to help restore Coast’s oyster industry

The proposed elimination of the Essential Air Service (EAS) program under the budget proposed by President Donald Trump is of concern in rural states such as Mississippi, where four of the seven commercial service

airports in the state receive EAS subsidies.

Getting rid of the program is not a new idea.

“This happens every time we have a Republican president,” said Tom Heanue, executive director, Hattiesburg-Laurel Regional Airport. “It happened under the Bush administration. Every budget proposal eliminated the EAS, but was not approved by Congress.

Then we went into a Democratic presidency and didn’t have to mess with this for eight years. After election night, I wondered how long it will be before there was a budget salvo.

It didn’t take long after the inauguration for the EAS program to be on the hit list.”

Township at Colony Park to build penultimate phase

By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com

Kerioth Corp. is planning to add two hotels and a conference center as one of the last two phases of The Township at Colony Park.

And latest aspect of the mixed-use development in Ridgeland will be in keeping with the upscale nature of the project that began 2003, said Kerioth President and Chief Executive Clint Herring.

Two Marriott hotels, the 115-guestroom, full-service Autograph and the 112-room AC and a 25,000-square-foot conference center will comprise the $65 million phase, bringing total investment in The Township to $358 million, Herring said.

That does not include 75 luxury condominiums, which would be the final phase, Herring said.

The Township is part of the $700 million Colony Park developed by the H.C Bailey Co. Kerioth got the go-ahead last week from the Ridgeland Board of Aldermen in a 5-1 vote to apply for the Mississippi Tourism Rebate Program.

Kerioth would get an 80 percent rebate of sales tax for up to 15 years or when up to 30 percent of project costs is reached, whichever is earlier.

Herring said he is confident that the Mississippi Development Authority will approve Kerioth’s application “because we meet or exceed everything that’s required.”

The certification for participation in the program will take about 60 days, Herring said. Completion of the phase will take about 20-24 months from that date, he said.

of about 100 around the world, Herring said. “It puts us in company with Savannah, Charleston, Lucerne, Switzerland, downtown New York and Asheville, N.C. It’s really significant that we’re able to get the Autograph here.”

It will feature a rooftop restaurant and lounge overlooking one of the two lakes in the Township, as well as a swimming pool

and a specialty restaurant.

The AC Hotel has “a European flair” and pairs well with the Autograph, Herring said.

The conference center, which will have a ballroom that will accommodate about 800, is positioned to take advantage of the chapel, which was the first phase of The Township, he said.

The Township also includes 133 single-family residences; 200,000 square feet of retail space; 200,000 square feet of Class A office space; four other hotels; The Club, for health and fitness; a 110-unit retirement center; five banks, seven restaurants and 36 townhouses.

Appeal coming after ruling in favor of Costco plan

By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com

Madison County Circuit Court Judge John Emfinger ruled Friday that developers could move forward with plans to build a Costco Wholesale store on the Highland Colony Parkway – a plan hotly contested by homeowners.

On Monday, Sheldon Alston, attorney for the nine plaintiffs, said the ruling will be appealed to the state Supreme Court.

Emfinger held a hearing March 20 on an appeal by homeowners in a protracted battle over the proposed building of a Costco Wholesale store in Ridgeland.

The plaintiffs in Beard et al v. City of Ridgeland contend that an amendment by the city to a commercial zoning ordinance amounted to special treatment to accommodate Costco, an upscale discounter.

The appeal extends the battle that began in November 2015.

Alston said, “We still think it’s a change in zoning, and we believe the Supreme Court will overturn the ruling. It’s disappointing, but it’s not the end of the fight.”

Emfinger wrote that “the Court finds that the amendment in question does not, by itself, allow any use in a C-2 district that was not allowed prior the amendment.” In fact, he held that the amendment “could apply to seventeen (17) different C-2 districts within the City.”

Emfinger wrote that while “the appellants contend this amendment constitutes

rezoning . . . the City denies that this was a rezoning and denies that it had to meet the burden of proof required to rezone property.”

He cited Drews v. City of Hattiesburg, which states that “where the point at issue is fairly debatable, we will not disturb the zoning authority’s action.”

Emfinger also cited from Town of Florence v. Sea Lands Ltd., which held that “‘fairly debatable’ is the antithesis of arbitrary and capricious.”

Plaintiffs contend that the Costco would create a traffic problem along Highland Colony Parkway, which is lined by office

EAS Continued from, Page 1

The EAS program was created in 1979 after deregulation of the airline industry happened in 1978. Before that, every airport in the country got some type of government subsidy.

“The government decided airlines needed to do their own business without subsidies,” Heanue said. “At small communities across the country, air service was on the hit list. Because airlines didn’t make money at the smaller communities, they were going to leave. The EAS was created as a stopgap. The EAS is the same creature it has been since that time.”

In the past, Mississippi’s congressional delegation has been supportive of retaining the EAS. Heanue is hopeful that will happen again.

“I am on my draft letter to our senators for our airport,” Heanue said. “We haven’t talked about this as a group in Mississippi yet. I have seen on other media that delegations from North Dakota and South Dakota are stepping up to say they don’t want the EAS cut. We will be in step with that because it is so important to Mississippi. In rural states, passenger commercial air service is the lifeline for the area’s commercial and economic development. It is very important to us.”

The other Mississippi airports with EAS subsidies are Tupelo, Greenville and Meridian.

Heanue said no one likes to be on welfare. He proposes

parks and upscale retailers.

The plaintiffs live in upscale neighborhoods in the vicinity.

The amendment, first executed in 2015 in what critics called a surreptitious manner, was redone in April 2016, out of “an abundance of caution,” said city special counsel James Peden.

But Alston argued that the amendment would allow “gas stations, fast-food restaurants” and other things not in keeping with the area, which is dominated by the Renaissance at Colony Park, which was opened in 2007.

Costco Wholesale stores sell gasoline, as

fixing the program rather than eliminating it. It needs to be tweaked so the taxpayers are getting the most benefit and the services provided are efficient and reliable.

“We would all like to be self-sustaining, and have airlines serving the area doing well, and the community doing well,” he said. “But the fact is in a small community, the economics are just not there. People can drive to Jackson, the Gulf Coast or New Orleans where they have more choices.

When you are the only horse in town, the horse can charge what it wants. If the EAS was more performance-based to receive the subsidy, it would encourage the airlines to price the seats to grow the number of travelers in that area.”

He likens not having commercial air service today to not having the railroad 150 years ago.

“That was a big thing when the railroad went through your town,” Heanue said. “Airports are important for general aviation and commercial air service. Airports are important to companies that want to bring business and jobs. That is why the EAS is important to Mississippi. Is it perfect? No. Could it be fixed? Yes. Let’s bring together some people who are smart and understand things and shape it into more a performance-based subsidy instead of blanket subsidy. Have some performance measures so the air carrier will put people in the seats.”

Small, single-engine propeller airplanes that seat seven to nine passengers work for some small communities. But Heanue said he wouldn’t be able to attract passengers for small, single-engine planes.

“For our community, 50-passenger jet service is what

our people look for or they would prefer to drive to New Orleans, Jackson or Gulfport,” he said.

An affordable price and convenience is also important to customers. They want to be able to check in when getting on the first leg of the trip so they are in the system and don’t have to go through security again when they get to a larger hub. A lot of the smaller aircraft don’t have those connections.

Heanue said if an area loses EAS, it won’t get it back.

Losing service can happen when a carrier pulls out and another can’t be found to replace it. There are only about 150 EAS airports left in the U.S., with about a third of those in Alaska.

“Not a lot of small regional carriers want to do an EAS,” he said. “Bigger airlines don’t want small markets and small airplanes. It is not 1979 anymore. Back then there were tons of carriers. At this airport, at one time we had four small carriers. We were going to New Orleans, La., Atlanta, Ga., and Florida. We have been down to one the past 27 or 28 years. Before we got our current carrier, American Eagle, we had Silver Airlines for 18 months. That didn’t work out well. They bit off more than they could chew.”

EAS subsidies used to go pretty far, but Heanue said today for airlines, it is all about risk. Airlines cannot fly half full and be profitable.

The airport has been averaging about 16,000 passengers per year in recent years. On June 2 it will start offering additional flights a day to Chicago, and Dallas, seven days a week.

USM to purchase aquaculture facility to help restore Coast’s oyster industry

B&D Plastics expands on Gulf Coast, creating 35 jobs

By BECKY GILLETTE mbj@msbusiness.com

Big, fat, juicy oysters have been a part of the Gulf Coast’s culinary traditions ever since the area was discovered more than 300 years ago by French explorers. At one time, Biloxi was known as the shrimp and oyster capital of the world. In recent years, there has been a steep decline in oyster production on Mississippi reefs, which has had a major impact on the Lucas economy.

Harvest of oysters in Mississippi was 400,000 sacks and accounted for $7 million in dockside landing value before Hurricane Katrina. However, harvest has decreased to less than 75,000 sacks and $1 million annually in dockside values since 2011, said Dr. Kelly Lucas, director of the Thad Cochran Marine Aquaculture Center at the University of Southern Mississippi (USM).

“The decline in oyster population on harvest reefs in Mississippi has been attributed to numerous environmental challenges in the past decade, including Hurricane Katrina, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the opening of the Bonnet Carré spillway,” Lucas said. “One of the recommendations listed in the Oyster Resource Resiliency Plan developed by Gov. Phil Bryant’s Oyster Council on Restoration and Resiliency called for a state hatchery capable of producing up to 10 billion eyed larvae of oysters. The plan suggested the hatchery should be located inland to decrease the chance of damage from tropical storms.”

Instead of building a new hatchery, the state is in the process of using funds from the BP oil spill settlement to purchase Aqua Green, LLC, located in Stone County, a recirculating aquaculture facility.

Lucas said the immediate need for the hatchery is for restoration of the oyster population in Mississippi waters.

“There is an economic benefit to oyster restoration,” Lucas said. “The dockside value is only one measure of economic impact. The commercial seafood industry in Mississippi accounts for more than $250 million in sales and supports 5,500 jobs.

Restoring the harvest reefs in Mississippi also preserves our culture by continuing to support jobs, working waterfronts and communities.”

Lucas said there are also significant environmental benefits: More oysters in

The former Aqua Green had been used to produce various fish, along with oysters.

the water helps stabilize sediment, reduce erosion, improve water quality and create habitat for other commercial and recreational fish species helping to preserve and increase quality of life for residents and tourists.

While initially all the oyster larvae will be used for restoration efforts, there is also potential for sales to oyster culture entrepreneurs. Lucas said there could be additional economic benefits from creating new models for oyster harvest such as off-bottom aquaculture, a popular method for harvesting boutique oysters for the half shell market.

“Certainly, the hatchery could reach a production level that out paces the restoration efforts in Mississippi and allows for others to purchase product,” Lucas said.

“However, as a research facility, it is our goal to transfer the technology to entrepreneurs who can create businesses that could sell oyster larvae. Creating business and industry is another economic benefit to the state.”

Aqua Green uses a recirculating aquaculture system that treats water reducing the amount of water required and making them sustainable systems for seafood production. Lucas said there are no other known inland recirculating aquaculture facilities in the country that are producing oyster larvae and certainly no known systems that would be at this scale.

“A great benefit of recirculating aquaculture systems is the ability to control the environment for optimum growing or spawning conditions,” Lucas said. “Artifi-

cial sea water is mixed to a desired salinity and the system can control for temperature and light conditions. The ability to grow algae to feed the oysters helps optimize nutrition requirements for growth.

“The system uses a biological filter where biological nitrification occurs. The nitrifying bacteria located in the filter process the dissolved nitrogenous waste products that are excreted by the aquaculture organisms. The filter generally consists of a material such as plastic or fiberglass that is designed to have considerable amounts of surface area exposed that allow nitrifying bacteria to colonize. The filter is necessary because cultured organisms produce waste as a product of the nutrition they receive.”

Gov. Phil Bryant announced the purchase of Aqua Green as part of Mississippi’s RESTORE Act projects in November 2016. Currently USM continues to work with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the state trustee for the BP oil settlement funds, to provide documentation to the U.S. Department of Treasury to complete the requirements for the grant that will be used to purchase the facility. The state hopes to complete the purchase this year.

USM has a long history with aquaculture research. The Thad Cochran Marine Aquaculture Center, located in Ocean Springs, is a $35 million-dollar facility with a 100,000-square foot of research space dedicated to aquaculture with marine finfish, shrimp and crabs.

Demonstrating Mississippi is a place where companies can achieve sustainable growth and success, B&D Plastics, LLC is expanding in Gautier, Miss., on the Gulf Coast. The expansion is a $750,000 corporate investment and creates 35 jobs.

“For more than 30 years, B&D Plastics has been a valued member of the Gulf Coast business community. The company’s expansion shows its commitment to our state, its employees and its customers, proving Mississippi is a great place for business,” Gov. Phil Bryant said.

B&D Plastics is one of the largest fabricators and manufacturers of dual-laminate equipment in the U.S. Currently, the company has a 50,000-square-foot facility in Gautier. The expansion will include a 9,375-square-foot production and assembly facility and a 7,000-square-foot warehouse at its current location.

“Since 1983, our Gautier-based company has been engaged in solving complex customer issues relating to the design and manufacture of custom dual-laminate products. B&D Plastics is now one of the largest facilities of its kind,” said B&D Plastics Owner Tom Reeves. “We value our relationship with the state of Mississippi, the city of Gautier and the Jackson County Economic Development Foundation and appreciate their support for our expansion.”

The Mississippi Development Authority is providing assistance for the construction of a 500,000-gallon water tank. The city of Gautier is also providing assistance.

“B&D Plastics’ decision to expand in Gautier is a testament to the excellent workforce as well as the Mississippi Gulf Coast’s welcoming business climate,” said MDA Executive Director Glenn McCullough, Jr. “We salute our partners at the Jackson County Economic Development Foundation and the city of Gautier for their teamwork with MDA to help B&D Plastics grow in our state.”

Construction of the new facilities is slated to be complete in 12 months.

PROFILE

‘Serial entrepreneur’ keeps on pioneering

» Meek’s latest passion is a miracle material

By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com

Ed Meek admits to being a bit of a “tambourine shaker” who has found a way to parlay his journalistic skills into the creation of successful markets over a long career.

It started with magazines – 14 at last count – and trade shows servicing nightclubs and restaurants -- whether it be nightclubs and restaurants, satellite dishes or furniture – and most recently the National Graphene Association that will champion a mysterious material scientists confirm as the strongest in the world.

“I’ve always been a serial entrepreneur, I’m afraid,” Meek, 76, said in an interview.

He founded and nurtured his magazine empire while while teaching journalism at the University of Mississippi.

“I found niches where need was not being met,” he said.

Like any natural entrepreneur, Meek is always on the outlook for veins to mine.

One day a friend invited him over to watch TV. Meek was surprised to see broadcasts from Canada – something unheard of in those days.

His friend had built a satellite dish and placed it in his back yard.

Meek was intrigued.

Eventually, he met Charlie Ergen, who would become a pioneer in the satellite communications field.

“Charlie wanted to build the dishes and I wanted to publish a magazine about them,” Meek said.

“Today he’s worth $18 billion,” Meek said. “I was making money hand over fist” till the cable industry found a way to scramble television signals from satellites and offered to sell de-scramblers so viewers could watch the signals.

The FCC eventually ruled that “stealing” signals was illegal, according to Meek.

But in the meantime, Meek had found another niche that was much more down to earth.

Furniture making.

“I found out that there were all these furniture manufacturers in north Mississippi and Alabama and southern Tennessee.

“It was costing them hundreds of thousands of dollars to go exhibit twice a year in High Point, N.C. So I said, ‘Why don’t we bring the people to Tupelo?’”

There were problems. Tupelo was short of lodging and means of transportation to get exhibitors to come to northeast Missis-

“I found niches where need was not being met.”

sippi.

He hit the hustings in the mid-’80s and found 160 companies within 90 miles of Tupelo. “I started with the big boys. They almost threw me out. They said, ‘We don’t need you.’”

“I went to the little guys’’– 31 small manufacturers who were not members of the Mississippi Manufacturers Association.

“They said, ‘Let’s do it.’”

“So we started the Tupelo Furniture Market, which is now 2.5 million square feet, the third-largest exhibition in the United States.”

Later he started other trade shows, including the Nightclub and Bar and Hotel Restaurant Trade Show.

Eventually, he sold the trade shows and other assets, and made a lot of money.

But he and his wife, Becky, donated their estate of $5.3 million to the University of Mississippi to establish the long-sought status as having a journalism school rather than just a journalism department.

“I’m a tambourine shaker, but I’m a journalist at heart,” Meek said.

Meek established the New Media Lab LLC to support journalism at Ole Miss in perpetuity.

The National Graphene Association, which he founded and made its existence known last week in a press release, is the latest under the New Media umbrella.

Dr. Will Norton, dean of the Meek School of Journalism and New Media, said that since the journalism school was accredited, the number of those declaring journalism as a major has tripled, from 450 to 1,550 this year.

The discipline called Integrated Mar-

Ed Meek has invested his adult life in the University of Mississippi.

keting Communications, which Meek took a shine to, applies basic journalism to new media, has been the catalyst, Norton said.

On the other side of the ledger, Norton credited Meek with finding “a new way to to fund publication education, a not-for-

profit company that produces an endowment so you’re just living on the interest that it produces, but every year it produces income that adds to the endowment.”

Meek expects one revenue stream to flow from a mysterious material.

A peek behind the Legislative leaders’ spending rhetotic

L

t. Gov. Tate Reeves and House Speaker Philip Gunn are touting their great success this year in holding down the cost of government.

“We Republicans have campaigned for many, many years that we are for living within our means, we are for controlling spending, we are for reducing the size of government,” Gunn told reporters according to the Associated Press.

Reeves added, “That’s what voters elected us to do. They elected us to live within our means,” reported the AP. “They believe they ought to send less money to the government. They believe that they are already overtaxed and overburdened.”

Sounds like a good plan that came together, huh? Well, only if you think they plotted a deep state conspiracy to disrupt government.

A peek behind the rhetoric suggests something else.

You see, legislators didn’t really plan to spend less. Most cuts Reeves and Gunn are taking credit for result from mid-year budget cuts ordered by Gov. Phil Bryant. Legislators wanted to spend more money, but when the rev-

Bill Crawford

enue didn’t come in to cover the bills, Bryant had to take action. In so doing he forced the state to live within its means, not legislators. Legislators, then, had little choice but to roll these forced cuts into the budget for next fiscal year since revenues continue to lag.

This adds to the growing notion among business leaders that our legislative leaders ain’t got a clue when it comes to state finances. Oh, they know how to cut taxes, but, apparently, not how to anticipate and manage the consequences. Over several years they pushed through a multitude of tax cuts with little idea what the impact would be. Still, they were confident resulting economic growth would generate revenues to offset the tax cuts. Oops, the growth didn’t happen, the offset didn’t happen, and Bryant had to step in.

Oh, even bigger “growth” spurring tax cuts start in January.

Indeed, reduced spending was never supposed to stem from revenue shortfalls. Instead, a new performancebased budgeting system was to identify programs whose funding See CRAWFORD, Page 7

n Monday, Mississippi observed Confederate Memorial Day, a holiday observed by just two states, Alabama being the other.

State employees, at least the ones who haven't lost their jobs after the latest series of state agencies cuts implemented by Gov. Phil Bryant, got the day off, as did some county and city employees around the state.

The governor, who has cut the budget, on average, every three months for the past year-and-a-half, keeps telling us we must live within our means and that in these hard economic times, there are some things we just can't afford — education, roads/bridge repairs, mental health services, take your pick.

Let's add one more item to the list of things Mississippi can no longer afford: Confederate Memorial Day. The cost goes beyond that associated with providing a paid holiday for those employees who got the day off. The real cost is to Mississippi's image beyond our state borders and the damage it does to a state economy that desperately needs an infusion of jobs.

Mississippi is 50th in the nation in both per-capita income ($21,036) and median household income ($39,680). Our state needs every positive factor we can find in trying to appeal to industries and potential residents as they consider their options.

Aside from a workforce that can be guaranteed to work for low wages and a state government that must resort to bribery to lure businesses to our state, there are few real incentives.

It's an uphill climb. It has always been an uphill climb. Our job growth rate has stalled — only a net of 800 more jobs were created in 2016 than the previous year, according to labor statistics.

The national economy is prospering. Our economy is foundering.

And yet, even as we try to conjure up new reasons why companies should come here, we stubbornly cling to imagery that creates a negative perception of our state as backwards, regressive and, in the eyes of many, institutionally racist.

Relics of our past — the Confederate imagery on our state flag, the governor's annual proclamation of April as "Confederate Heritage Month" and Monday's "Confederate Memorial Day," confirm the very stereotypes our state must escape. Mississippians are free to draw their own conclusion about the propriety of maintaining these traditions, of course. But the time has far since passed that the state should give its sanction to these ideas.

The truth is pretty simple: When it comes to recruiting the industries our state so desperately needs, it doesn't matter much what Mississippians think of these tributes to the Confederacy.

What matters is what those businesses and industries think of those things. For the overwhelming majority, the Confederacy is forever and indisputably linked with the abomination of slavery.

Knowing that, no one in their right mind would insist that this sort of imagery remain a part of its brand.

We simply can't afford it.

could be curtailed or eliminated. Oops, the performance-based budgeting system isn’t up to speed yet, so cuts for next year were generally across-the-board, impacting high performing and essential programs as well as poorly performing and nonessential programs.

Then, there are cuts that aren’t real cuts. For example, legislators cut college scholarship funds. They also cut funding for universities and community colleges that will result in tuition and fee increases. Oops, with these changes legislators didn’t so much control spending as shift the burden from the state’s pocket to parents’ pockets.

Jones County Junior College President Jesse Smith told the Hattiesburg American his college will have to “increase our tuition significantly to make up the gap.” Universities bumped their planned 3.8% average tuition hike to 6.6 percent.

Cuts to other programs will shift costs from state government to local government, forcing many to increase property taxes. Oops, these shifted costs won’t be real cuts either.

Yep, a peek behind the rhetoric shows lots of oopses, not a coherent plan.

Competency, communication and connections equal success

I

t’s just about the time of year for graduation speeches.

Speakers will pass along sage advice and hoped-for inspiration to graduates who yearn for speech brevity.

Many speakers will tell students that they should find their passion and get a job doing what they love. That sounds good, but perhaps the more practical advice would be for students to get a job doing what they’re good at. Sometimes political speeches creep in.

I’m not giving any commencement speeches this year, but I did tell my students that in my humble opinion the three most critical factors in their career success will be competence, communication and connections. As you might imagine, my advice elicited plenty of classroom discussion.

Competence is the first of The Three C’s. Without it, no one lasts very long in any vocation. Incompetence gets exposed early on in any job. Hardly anyone argues with this concept, but the disconnect occurs when students get the idea that they are only being taught something because it is required for a degree and never to be used in “the real world.” I felt that way about regression analysis when I was in business school. I thought that I would never use that concept in the day-to-day work world. Later I opened my own real estate appraisal and consulting company. You guessed it. To predict real estate values properly, one must use regression analysis. Eventually I worked for a corporation that purchased a certain product that would not be sold until months later during the high-demand season. And how does one predict demand? Using historical data, expert predictions and – you guessed it again – regression analysis. Unfortunately, students are sometimes told only that they must be good at what they do to succeed. But they must be told that and more. Many competent workers are disillusioned

when they see co-workers whom they believe are less competent get promoted over them. They wonder how that happens. They only need look at the next characteristic.

The second “C” stands for communication. Employees who can stand in front of a group and deliver a message with confidence and authority has a decided advantage because that employee will be exposed to more people in the management of the organization. Effective communication also demonstrates competence. Good communicators in organizations get recognized faster than other employees in the organization and are often called on to represent the organization to customers, suppliers and the general public.

There is a caveat about communication that every graduate and employee should be aware of, and it is this: The message that is sent is never the message that is received. That is because there are internal and external barriers to communication. Today’s graduates are so-called Generation Y workers. Their supervisors, who may be of another generation, may have no idea what “OMG” means. Consequently, communication is becoming more difficult in today’s work environment.

The third “C” refers to connections. This is the one that causes the most consternation for students. They believe that competence will prevail and that in the end an employee’s good works will be the source of rising up the ladder in the organization. It is easy to understand why they feel that way. Students who are good at networking and making connections in school, e.g. are popular, but lack competence, are exposed when it comes to taking exams. In school, making good test scores is the primary measure of success. It separates the competent from the incompetent. In the business world, doing well on the tests, so to speak, is only the begin-

ning of job success. When I bring up this subject of connections I often hear the phrase, “So it’s not what you know, it’s who you know?” My reply is that it is what you know AND who you know. Sometimes students misinterpret that statement and conclude that they must engage in currying favor or behaving obsequiously. Far from it. Much of the idea of having connections is about connections outside the organization. That is why networking and getting involved is so important.

Obviously, these are not the only keys to success in the business world. Nevertheless, they are critically important and can be the basis for those who excel versus those who look back later in life and wonder why they never rose any higher in their careers.

In closing, a graduate must consider where the good jobs are located. Wallethub.com issued its rankings of 150 cities for 2017’s Best & Worst Cities for Jobs.

TECHNOLOGY

Why an engaged C-Suite matters in improving cyber security n a recent article, I talked about how the C-Suite can get past not being technical and take an offensive mindset to cyber security. I think the big message there was to get involved. Part of an organizations IT leadership and consultant’s responsibility is to provide logical explanations of the threats and vulnerabilities that exist and how they can impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability of an organization’s operations, and the C-Suite should want to hear about it. It’s also important to understand the level of effort it takes from your team to mitigate and remediate threats and vulnerabilities so that you can begin to evaluate if you need to make a decision such as realignment of staff or finding a 3rd party partnership.

While I’ve heard many “I’m just not technical” comments, I’ve also been in one hour scheduled meetings that ran into two hours because the CEO wanted to understand the results of a penetration test and asked questions that

I

we spent time talking through along with the CIO and IT leadership. It was healthy, valuable conversation, and resulted in an actionable plan that quickly improved the cyber security posture of the organization.

As more and more organizations are starting to take this approach. I’d like to offer a few points to think about that I’ve seen stifle the process if not considered.

Pride of Ownership This can be a touchy subject. The average IT department staff not only invests a lot of time and effort into the systems and platforms they manage, but they also take pride in their work. In some cases, so much that it’s not uncommon to hear a network administrator or engineer refer to their company’s infrastructure as, “my server” or “my firewall”. So, when suddenly these systems come under review internally or when a 3rd party is being brought in to test systems unannounced with very little discussion around the

“why”, a certain level of fear and frustration can begin to naturally impede the success of the overall project.

Start with Why When there is open communication around the “why” and the goals of such a project, it can go from fears of my job being in jeopardy to we’re getting some reinforcements to help mature our posture.

This change in mindset can be a huge asset to your organization. Therefore, the C-Suite should focus on communicating the “why” in order to strengthen the value of their cyber security strategy.

An exception would be an organization that has established a mature cyber program to the point of the need for an unannounced approach to test the team’s response to malicious operations being carried out against the organization.

Organizations that participate in these exercises regularly can grow accustomed to this type of testing and in most cases, welcome the improved cyber security

posture and learning opportunities testing and partnerships provide.

This type of healthy environment is driven from the C-Suite as they have the ability Brad Pierce to set the tone for how things such as pride of ownership are addressed with IT staff.

Allowing your organization to see the bigger picture can help not only make for a more engaged team but also a stronger, more resilient cyber security posture for your organization.

AN MBJ FOCUS: LAW & ACCOUNTING

By definition, electronic signatures can range in format from an electronic sound, symbol or process.

Electronic signatures are the future in every industry

» Baker Donelson lawyer discusses the regulations, implications of electronic signature technology

By ALEX JACKS mbj@msbusiness.com

In a world where technology has become the number one component in running a business, the popularity of electronic signatures has continued to develop.

Despite the ease an electronic signature can bring to any industry, business owners must be aware of the regulations and implications that come with the technology.

An electronic signature ranges from a variety of formats, including an electronic sound, a symbol or a process, said Craig Nazzaro, a Baker Donelson attorney

who advises lenders and servicers on all regulatory and compliance issues that impact the consumer lending industry.

“The definition of an electronic signature is really broad,” he said.

“Checking a box can be Nazzaro a signature — putting your initials or verbally agreeing if your electronic source has the ability to record. All of those methods can be defined as an electronic signature under E-SIGN.” The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or E-SIGN is the federal regulation of electronic signatures. There are several other regulatory laws pertaining to electronic signatures businesses must be aware of prior to implementing the technology.

“The federal regulation basically lays out the structure of an electronic signature and what’s required to use one,” Nazzaro

said. “E-SIGN provides the definition of an electronic signature. When E-SIGN was put into place on a federal level, you began to see state laws popping up that controlled how electronic signatures would be treated on a state-by-state basis.”

In order to create a more uniform definition and regulations of electronic signatures, the federal government passed the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or UETA. “This allowed states to adopt a uniform model and be in compliance with E-SIGN in order to work in harmony,” Nazzaro said. “There are three states that did not adopt the model, which presents a tricky issue depending on what type of signature a business is promoting. Mississippi did adopt UETA, making it uniform with the federal act.”

In addition to E-SIGN, UETA and certain state specifications, businesses using electronic signatures are governed by other regulations put in place by the IRS and Uniform Commercial Code, he said.

“It is not straightforward,” Nazzaro said.

“There are multiple regulations out there that are enforced by multiple regulators.

Electronic signature regulations can also be more industry specific.”

In Mississippi, unless a different regulation calls for a particular process to have a wet ink signature, an electronic signature will be enforceable per E-SIGN, he said.

When dealing with electronic signatures, there are three components businesses should be aware of — agreement, attribution and transferable records.

“To enforce an electronic signature, you have to look and see if there was an agreement between the parties to use an electronic signature and if there was a process in place that can give attribution to the person you said executed it,” Nazzaro said.

“You have to have procedures in place that define or reasonably showcase that the person was in fact using that computer or that the person had an idea of what they were entering into when they checked that box,” he continued. “You have different levels of how you can prove those two measures.”

When dealing with the agreement portion of an electronic signature in the financial services industry, Nazzaro said he likes to have measures in place that show a borrower agreed to use an electronic signature.

Anticipated tax reform stalling

By BECKY GILLETTE mbj@msbusiness.com

One explanation given for the surge in the stock market since the presidential election is confidence that lowering of corporate tax rates would help boost the bottom line of businesses in the country.

But tax reform is moving slower than was originally anticipated, said Horne LLP Tax Partner John Scott. The failure to pass a repeal-and-replace for the Affordable Care Act resulted in less funding for tax cuts, but Scott said it appears that Congress may be working on a possible deal on health care right now.

“Depending on how that turns out, it will set the parameters for the magnitude of any sort of a deal on taxes,” Scott said.

“In fact, it might be that taxes and infrastructure get rolled into one package to solicit Democratic votes. So, when will all of this happen? The target keeps slipping later and later into 2017, or even into 2018.

But, the Republicans need to show they can deliver on their promises before the midterm elections in fall 2018, and some sort of tax reform/tax cut package will emerge.”

Scott said in all likelihood, the legislation will entail a corporate tax rate cut from a top rate of 35 percent to somewhere be-

tween 25-28 percent, a provision to tax business income earned through flow through entities at no more than that same maximum rate, and a reduction of the top individual rate from 39.6 percent to around 33 percent.

Fletcher “Finding the ability to pay for this will be the biggest challenge, and getting something that will be acceptable to both the House and the Senate will take the most time of this entire process,” Scott said. “Business people should continue to monitor these events closely. Depending upon the timing and effective date of any tax cut legislation, strategies such as accelerating deductions and/or deferring income will be even more important than usual because they will generate a permanent tax savings.”

Tax planning is always made more difficult when there are numerous tax law changes being proposed and considered, said John Fletcher, a partner in the Jones Walker LLP Tax & Estates Practice Group who practices from the Jackson office.

“During 2017, there are many changes being considered, and many of those have been presented only in general and not

specific terms, which also makes the planning process more difficult,” Fletcher said.

“The proposed reductions in corporate tax rates have motivated many businesses to consider ways to accelerate expenses and deductions to tax periods ending before any adopted rate changes become effective, and to also consider options for deferring the receipt of taxable income until after any rate reductions are made effective. It is still possible that any corporate rate reductions that are enacted during 2017 will be made effective for all or part of the 2017 tax year, so it is important that businesses consider that possibility in their current tax planning.”

At the same time that businesses are anticipating tax cuts, there are also proposed elimination of some programs that have benefitted businesses such as economic development efforts by the Delta Regional Authority and the Essential Air Service subsidies for airlines that serve small airports in rural areas. Fletcher said there is always the possibility that when tax cuts are enacted, there will be corresponding reductions in various government programs, some of which may be beneficial to the same businesses that benefit from the tax cuts.

“If the objective of the tax cuts is to stim-

ulate business growth and increased employment, then the proponents of the tax cuts must certainly take into account the possible effect on such programs,” Fletcher said. “In considering new tax policy, one of the primary objectives should be to reduce the overall complexity of the tax system and the cost of compliance. Many businesses have been forced to add tax compliance staff and to implement policies and procedures that may hinder their ability to operate efficiently and profitably. By eliminating some of the complexity and compliance issues, businesses would be able to operate more profitably and to compete more effectively in the global market, thereby generating additional tax revenues, which could offset some of the tax revenues lost through tax cuts.”

Fletcher said the biggest tax planning mistake that many businesses make is failing to consider tax consequences early enough in the business planning process.

Often times, important managerial and operating decisions are made prior to considering the tax consequences of such decisions, and the tax issues are only addressed after the fact.

“At that point in the process, it may be too late to take advantage of opportunities to minimize or eliminate tax liability, or to achieve the maximum tax benefits that would have been available had proper planning been done earlier,” Fletcher said.

“Instead of having a box to click to proceed, I would want a dialogue box to pop up on the device that they’re using,” he said. “The dialogue box may say, ‘By moving forward, you are agreeing that this signature will be in full force and effect of a wet ink signature and you are agreeing to the transaction in a digital format.’ If you actually state that, it’s easier to argue that there was an agreement between two parties that the signature will have full force and effect.”

When considering the attribution side

of an electronic signature in the financial services industry, Nazzaro likes to use dual controls such as sending an email or pin number to a separate source.

“Maybe a borrower is at the point of sale terminal and we have their phone number — I like to have a call set up where we give them a code and then they have to put the code into the device,” he said. “That serves as a dual verification that it was the person. You want to use something that can tie back to the person, like a Social Security number.”

Transferable records pertain to the regulations put in place that can trace the electronic signature back to the original

transaction or document, Nazzaro said.

“When you are talking about an electronic signature, you’re going to have to have policies and procedures around what controls an original signature,” he said. “Is there enough security around your original document that it can’t be copied? You want it to marked in a way that show this is the original.”

In many instances across industries, businesses will use a third party vendor to implement the electronic signature process, Nazzaro said.

“This is a good source, but it still does not mean you can give up the responsibility of monitoring your businesses electron-

ic signature process,” he said. “You have to do due diligence and put oversight over the vendor, where you have the ability to prove yourself if a borrower contests the signature.”

Electronic signatures can be seen across every industry, Nazzaro said. The feature has become popular in human resources, retail and financial services, just to name a few.

“Electronic signatures are pretty much utilized in any situation where a signature is necessary,” he said. “The have become more mainstream due to the ease. For example, you go to a department store and you want to fill out an application for a credit card. You don’t want the sales person to give you a mound of paperwork.

It’s easier to sign and agree to the terms on the terminal. Electronic signatures are a lot more efficient, quicker for the borrower and easier for the business in the end, lending to their popularity.”

Gorsuch: The One Protestant

O

n April 10, 2017, the unorthodox 6-year, 11-month, 21-day drought of a Protestant on the U.S. Supreme Court presumably ended. With his English wife of 20 years by his side and left hand resolutely on the family NIV Study Bible, Neil Gorsuch accepted the second lifetime appointment of his brief forty-nine year life.

I say “presumably” because the country’s first Generation X justice, though raised Catholic, married into and serves as an usher in the Episcopal Church. The church, formally named in its constitution as the “The Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America,” describes itself as “Protestant, Yet Catholic.” Since the Episcopal Church is Protestant and Justice Gorsuch is active in the church, then it is judicious to consider him a Protestant.

From the U.S. Supreme Court’s beginning in 1790 to 1996, Protestants, at all times, constituted a majority of justices.

The Protestants lost that majority for the first time in 206 years, when Justice Clarence Thomas reconverted to Catholicism.

The appointment of Chief Justice John Roberts in 2005 advanced the Catholics to a plurality, and on January 31, 2006, the Catholics commanded a majority with the appointment of Samuel Alito. Sonia Sotomayor’s appointment in 2009 elevated the Catholics to a flummoxing 6 of 9 seats on the Court, which fell to 5 seats on Justice Antonin Scalia’s unexpected death in 2016.

The Catholic concatenation is relatively recent, as there have only been 13 Catholic justices in the history of the United States, and 5 are still on the bench.

Sequentially, Justice Gorsuch filled Scalia’s vacant seat, but viewed piously, he replaced retired Justice John Paul Stevens the last Protestant to serve on the Court.

Justice Stevens was born in 1920 and retired from the bench in 2010 at the age of 90.

Currently, the Court is composed of five Catholics justices (Roberts, Kennedy, Thomas, Alito & Sotomayor), three Jewish justices (Ginsburg, Breyer & Kagan), and the one Protestant justice (Gorsuch).

Objectively, a single Protestant justice on the Court is intriguing. Presidents appoint justices and the only non-Protestant U.S. President in history is John F. Kenne-

dy, a Catholic. There are no JFK appointees left on the bench. The U.S. has never had a Jewish president. The U.S. Senate, constitutionally charged with “advice and consent,” has always been predominantly Protestant.

Yet, Protestants who make up 46.5 percent of the U.S. population constitute only 11.1 percent of the Supreme Court. Catholics, though 20.8 percent of the U.S. population, constitute 55.6 percent of the Supreme Court. Jews, a mere 1.9 percent of the U.S. population, constitute 33.3 percent of the Supreme Court. Counterintuitively, I find the statistical incongruity reflective of an absence of religious bias in the appointment process.

Religious affiliations have had their effect on the Court. The first appointment of a Jew to the Court - Justice Louis Brandeis – engendered some functional disruption.

No official photograph exists of the 1924 Court term as Justice James McReynolds refused to sit beside the Jewish interloper. The more recent all-Catholic majori-

the Aqua Green facility expands USM’s footprint and research capability.

Oysters are currently the only animals being cultured at Aqua Green. Prior to the oyster pilot project, the facility produced tilapia, cobia, spotted sea trout and pompano.

ty 5- 4 ruling in Gonzales v. Carhart (2007) - upholding a partial-birth abortion ban - hardly went unnoticed. University of Chicago Law Professor Geoffrey Stone, in a polemic 2007 article, articulated the “too obvious,” “too telling” and “painfully awkward observation” and even accused Catholic Justices Roberts, Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas and Alito of failing to “respect the fundamental difference between religious belief and morality.”

On April 19, in just his third day of oral arguments as a Supreme Court Associate Justice, Gorsuch heard arguments in a religiously charged case that may culminate in reversal of existing constitutional law precedent. Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia, Inc. v. Comer deals with the separation of church and state or, more accurately, the Anti-Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The Anti-Establishment Clause prohibits the government from passing laws that establish a religion or prohibit the free exercise of a religion.

In Trinity, the federal trial court and

The facility will be renovated to accommodate the production of oysters as the primary aquaculture product. Lucas said as a research institution, it will look for opportunities to add species and technology development as space and funds permit. About nine people are working at the facility as part of the pilot oyster project.

Technology transfer is also envisioned from the Aqua Green project.

appellate court sided with the State, finding Ben Williams no constitutional objection to Missouri’s denial of a state grant to resurface school playgrounds due to the licensed preschool’s church affiliation. The church argued, inter alia, the Missouri law penalizes the church and school for the free exercise of religion.

In the non-legal jargon of the Alliance Defending Freedom, “A skinned knee hurts just as much on the playground of a religious school as it does on the playground of a non-religious school.”

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit dutifully followed Supreme Court precedent, including Locke v. Davey (2004). Still, the appellate court noted the different “direction the Court seems to be going” and even favorably quoted from Justice Scalia’s dissent in Davey: “When the State makes a public benefit generally available, that benefit becomes part of the baseline against which burdens on religion are measured; and when the State withholds that benefit from some individuals solely on the basis of religion, it violates the Free Exercise Clause no less than if it had imposed a special tax.”

The appellate court gave credence to the “logical constitutional leap” of a favorable ruling for Trinity Church, but ultimately opined: “only the Supreme Court can make that leap.” It further quoted from a 1997 Supreme Court case authored by Justice Sandra Day O’Connor: “lower courts should follow the case which directly controls, leaving to this Court the prerogative of overruling its own decisions.”

Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch, an Article III judge on the only federal court created by the U.S. Constitution, is now 1/9th of that prerogative.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s opinion in Trinity is expected before the Court’s summer recess in late June.

Ben Williams is a Mississippi attorney. Email Ben at MBWJ@aol.com. Ford Williams attends the Savannah College of Art & Design.

“We look forward to expanding our aquaculture research capabilities and transferring technology to the private sector,” Lucas said. “University academics will benefit from the facility by providing opportunities for hands-on learning, research and instruction. Renovations to the facility will include the addition of video network capabilities to other USM classrooms in Hattiesburg and on the Coast.”

Baptist Medical Center receives nation’s highest nursing designation Baptist Medical Center in Jackson recently received the nation’s top honor for nursing excellence called “Magnet.” The Magnet Recognition Program is given by the American Nurses’ Credentialing Center (ANCC), an affiliate of the American Nurses Association, to hospitals satisfying a set of criteria designed to measure quality patient care and professional nursing practice.

Only seven percent of hospitals in America have been granted Magnet recognition and Baptist is the only hospital in Mississippi to receive this designation.

Dinsmore joins People Lease

People Lease is pleased to announce Charlotte Dinsmore has joined People Lease in the Payroll Administration Services Department. Dinsmore has 21 years of payroll service and customer support experience; including customer set up and support, payroll billing, employee Dinsmore data verification and compliance, accounting and reconciliation.

Dinsmore and her husband live in Madison. She has five children and three grandchildren. She enjoys boating and other outdoor activities with her family.

ANCC defines a Magnet hospital as one where nursing care results in excellent patient outcomes and where nurses maintain high levels of job satisfaction.

Magnet status includes various departments throughout the medical center being involved in the evaluation of outcomes and decision-making in patient care delivery. Further, it recognizes that the organization provides resources for nurses to continue life-long learning and shows a low staff nurse turnover rate.

Magnet designation first emerged in 1990 as a way

to recognize hospitals that successfully attracted and retained high-quality nurses, even during periods of nursing shortages. The program is now based on five core principles: transformational leadership; structural empowerment; exemplary professional practice; new knowledge, innovations and improvements; and empirical outcomes.

Baptist has implemented a Shared Governance Model of Nursing over the past 10 years. This model integrates core values and beliefs giving all staff, at the

patient bedside, a voice in Baptist practices. With nurses working together across departments with shared goals and purpose, much can be accomplished. Receiving Magnet designation requires evidence of high standards of care achieved by the entire organization.

Applying for Magnet was a complex process involving months of highly detailed work. Documentation had to include numerous examples of excellence, and evidence that structures and processes are in place to promote consistent quality outcomes.

THE SPIN CYCLE

Media deploy advertising to promote journalism in fake news era

T

he proliferation of fake news – be that the insult lobbed at journalists and publications that President Donald Trump and his administration detest or the websites peddling false information across the web to make a quick buck – has unleashed a wave of advertising from news media organizations looking to promote the value of responsible journalism.

Earlier this month, Gannett became the latest publisher to release a campaign touting its publications’ efforts and showing how they had impacted the communities they cover.

“Media has gotten a lot of attention in the political cycle that we had in 2016,” Gannett CMO Andy Yost told Adweek. “It’s important for media organizations like ours to showcase the great work we’re doing and the importance of journalism.”

Gannett’s campaign, which highlights the work of local papers like The Tennessean or the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, was created by its in-house marketing team and will run across Gannett’s digital network (the USA Today Network has 110 million unique visitors per month) and print properties (the company has in excess of 3 million print subscribers).

Gannett certainly isn’t alone: In recent months top media like The New York Times, The Atlantic, Vanity Fair and WNYC AM/ FM have advanced their own advertising campaigns.

“We’re in an environment where the press has been under attack and is reasserting the values that we provide people—the ability to hold power to account, that a free people require a free press, and that civil discourse is critical to a functioning democracy,” said Peter Weingard, WNYC’s CMO. “With free expression under attack, the press, including WNYC, is reasserting our mandate to report fearlessly and accurately.”

In March, WNYC released its latest ad campaign, from its creative agency Eyeball, which included lines like “Fake news is nothing new, but it’s still fake,” and “Tweets are not the whole story.” The effort is “purposely provocative, playful in tone and meant to attract attention to get people to listen in,” noted Weingard.

The latest ads, which were placed in subways and subway cars, bus shelters and even a Times Square billboard in New York, told consumers to “Wake up to Morning Edition for fact-based, independent journalism.” Listeners for WNYC’s combined AM/FM and digital streams are up 28 percent year to date, according to Weingard.

For some media, like The Atlantic, a branding campaign has been in the works for quite some time. Nearly three years ago, the 160-year-old publication tapped Pereira & O’Dell to develop a brand strategy, and early last year began working with Wieden + Kennedy in New York on its “Question Your Answers” campaign. In February, it released a short film, Am I Typecast, starring actor Michael K. Williams that has garnered more than 10.5 million views.

Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino Delivers Social Media Buzz Starbucks’ new unicorn Frappuccino is delivering plenty of social-media buzz, thanks to bright pink and blue colors that look like something from a concert poster.

The colorful drink needs to do more than get people posting photos to Instagram, however. Limited-time drinks are increasingly a staple at Starbucks, which is rolling out new drinks and short-term offerings as a way to entice consumers into its stores. One of its earliest big hits was the autumnal pumpkin spice latte, which has been copied by other coffee outlets and food brands.

The unicorn Frappuccino, which was only available from April 19-23, is the company’s first new Frappuccino flavor this year, and was inspired by unicorn-themed food and drinks popular on social media.

The new drink comes at a sensitive time for Starbucks, with a new chief executive at the helm and a sales slowdown in 2016 that came amidst an unpopular change in its loyal program. The coffee giant is also dealing with competition from smaller stores that appeal to younger consumers.

The drink’s colors and name are designed to appeal to generation Z, or consumers born after 1995, a group that grew up with social media, is poised to surpass the Millennial generation in size, and may be more influential than their slightly older peers.

That’s not to say that millennials, generation X, baby boomers and the silent generation wouldn’t buy a unicorn Frappuccino, however. The average Starbucks customer is an educated 42-year-old professional with household income of $90,000.

Getting those customers to return to its stores is key to boosting its bottom line. Its new CEO, Kevin Johnson, told The Wall Street Journal earlier this year innovation is key to its long-term growth.

Starbucks’ stock price could also use some unicorn magic. The shares have de-

clined more than 3 percent over the past year, compared with a 12.6 percent jump in the S&P 500 index.

The bigger question for curious consumers is probably how the drink tastes.

Starbucks bills the Frappuccino as containing flavors that “evolve from sweet and fruity to tangy and tart.” The drink is made with mango syrup and a “pleasantly sour” blue drizzle.

Will the drink prove to be mythical in popularity? So far, the early reviews appear mixed, with consumers describing the unicorn frappuccino’s taste as everything from “sour Skittles” to “magical.”

Assaulted Mic | O’Reilly Gets Boot at Fox, Latest Bill To Get Busted In less than a year, Fox News’ three biggest stars have exited. First Roger Ailes. Then Megyn Kelly. And now, in the wake of a sexual harassment scandal, Bill O’Reilly is out, which was first reported in The Wall Street Journal. This week, Tucker Carlson moved into O’Reilly’s time slot and “The Five” will appear following “The Factor.”

The changes come weeks after The New York Times reported that 21st Century Fox or O’Reilly settled with five women accusing him of inappropriate behavior and sexual harassment. More than 50 advertisers responded by pulling their ads, and from there, pressure mounted. O’Reilly said Fox’s decision to part ways was based on “completely unfounded claims.”

In a memo to staffers, Fox Co-Chairman Rupert Murdoch and his sons emphasized their commitment to a “work environment built on the values of trust and respect,” while also praising O’Reilly as “one of the most accomplished TV personalities in the

history of cable news.” CNN’s Chris Cillizza summed up O’Reilly’s legacy, calling him the “front-facing spokesman” for modern conservatism who helped make populism and distrust of the mainstream media core tenets of the movement that eventually put Donald Trump in the White House.

The Times’ Jim Rutenberg echoed that theme and the ouster of O’Reilly will test the loyalties of Fox News viewers. 21st Century Fox and Journal parent News Corp share common ownership.

The ouster certainly didn’t hurt O’Reilly’s bank account – he will leave the network with $25 million — the equivalent of one year’s salary.

The Spin Cycle is ever so curious as to how this will affect two of the brightest – and boldest – brands in cable news. For now, O’Reilly gets a Assaulted Mic for getting caught with his pants down, much like another famous Bill, both of whom thought they were above the law and court of public opinion.

Each week, The Spin Cycle will bestow a Golden Mic Award to the person, group or company in the court of public opinion that best exemplifies the tenets of solid PR, marketing and advertising – and those who don’t. Stay tuned – and step-up to the mic! And remember … Amplify Your Brand!
