JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Central District Transportation Commissioner Dick Hall has filed a compliant with the Mississippi Ethics Commission accusing his counterparts of breaking the state’s open meetings law.

Hall has often feuded with Northern District Commissioner Bill Minor, Southern District Commissioner Wayne Brown and Mississippi Department of Transportation Director Butch Brown.

Hall said the others met at a Jackson restaurant Aug. 10 with Madison County officials to discuss an Interstate 55 interchange in Hall’s district.

“How do you work with somebody you can’t trust?” said Hall. “Obviously, it was a prearranged meeting to discuss a project in my district, and I was excluded from the meeting. There is a reason for having the opening meetings law.”

Tom Hood, executive director of the Ethics Commission, said the two commissioners and Butch Brown have 14 days to file a response if they choose. Then the commission can either dismiss the complaint or try to mediate a solution. The issue still could end up in court.

Minor said he was invited to a dinner, and he did not know who would be there.

“We had no meeting,” Minor said. “No meeting was called. I went to a dinner.”

Minor said he plans to file a response with the Ethics Commission.

“If they want to meet, I will meet with them because I did nothing wrong,” he said.

Madison County Supervisors Tim Johnson said he was at the dinner along with Jackson attorney Ed Brunini Jr. and Madison County engineer Rudy Warnock.

Brunini represents St. Dominic Hospital, which is interested in building at the planned interchange, known as the Reunion interchange. Warnock ran unsuccessfully against Hall in 2007.

At the dinner, Johnson said, “We were talking about Reunion, and Dick has made it clear he is against the project.”

Hall said, “The fact they don’t agree with me on the project is not the point. The complaint is about the meeting.”

Hall has opposed the interchange, saying there were other priorities in Madison County. The other two commissioners support it.

Minor said the Madison County officials asked the commissioners to consider providing a larger state match for the project.

“We told them we didn’t have more money to give. That was it,” Minor said.

The controversy is the latest flare-up in a long-running feud at MDOT over Butch Brown’s appointment as executive director. Minor and Wayne Brown support Butch Brown, but Hall opposed the appointment. Wayne Brown and Butch Brown are not related.
