A Sincere Apology
Dear readers,
The undersigned would like to take a moment to apologize.
In Part 01, we went too hard on Tara Busby. She's just a single mom. She's doing her best. The pressure of being a federal defendant must be overwhelming. The undersigned was being petty. We were being cruel. We compared her to a tire with low air pressure, and honestly, that wasn't fair.
We should have been more compassionate. More understanding. More forgiving.
The undersigned sincerely regrets the tone of Part 01 and would like to extend an olive branch to Ms. Busby and her legal team.
We are truly, deeply sorry.
She's a crackhead-looking tramp who harassed my ex-wife several times, seized equipment, and brought police to my doorstep.
And she's sleeping with the residents she enforces code on.
I. Tara, I Tried to Let You Go
Before Part 01, you were never in an article. You know why? Because someone vouched for you. Someone asked the undersigned to leave you out of it. And the undersigned respected that. You had a shield you didn't even know about.
Then after Part 01, that same someone asked the undersigned to ease up on Tara. She's been through a lot. She's a single mom. Give her a break.
And the undersigned obliged — again. We pulled back. We moved on to other investigations. We wrote about Christy LeBatard and the engineering department's weight problem. We wrote about CenterPoint Energy's shrimp boil. We wrote about Jerry Creel's city car. We let Tara breathe.
And then last week, Tara Busby did it again.
She came back. She harassed. She enforced. She reminded the undersigned — and the people of Biloxi — exactly who she is and exactly what she does when she thinks nobody is watching.
So here's the thing, Tara: this was going to be Part 02. A two-part series. A beginning and an end. You had your story told, and we were going to move on.
But you know fucking what? People think you are decent. So we will make it a 10-part series, and we will detail every single thing that we already notified your lawyer and are waiting for commentary — because you know what you've been doing, and it's going to be public. Every single one. And the undersigned will bring the stories of other citizens who had their lives affected by your mediocrity, while you use your time on the job to shop for your groceries.
II. The Inspector Who Inspects More Than Property
Our investigation into the Code Enforcement operations of the City of Biloxi has produced information from multiple confidential sources indicating that Tara Busby, Code Enforcement Administrator, engaged in sexual relationships with City of Biloxi residents over whom she was simultaneously exercising code enforcement authority.
Read that again.
The woman who brings armed police to your door — the woman who seizes your equipment, who issues stop work orders, who files criminal affidavits against citizens — was sleeping with residents she was enforcing code on.
Our sources have provided specific information regarding the identities and locations of these residents, including properties in the Arbor Landing and Eagle Point communities.
We have made the editorial decision to withhold the names of these individuals. They are private citizens who did not seek public attention. Our reporting focuses on Ms. Busby's conduct as a public official, not on the private lives of the residents involved.
But they are there. They are real. And if someone pisses us off, they will be shown.
Yeah, Tara — fucking with the residents. Figuratively and literally.
But the public interest implications are severe.
III. The Two-Tiered System
A code enforcement officer who is engaged in sexual relationships with residents she is writing up has corrupted the enforcement function at its foundation.
Every enforcement decision Tara Busby made involving these individuals is now called into question:
Were violations issued, escalated, reduced, or dismissed based on the nature of her personal relationship with the property owner?
Were residents who were not sleeping with their inspector subjected to harsher enforcement than those who were?
Was the full weight of armed police deployment reserved for residents like the undersigned — while favored residents received leniency or case closure?
Did violations for her partners quietly disappear while violations for everyone else turned into criminal charges?
This is not a question of private morality. This is not gossip. This is not tabloid reporting.
This is a question of whether the City of Biloxi's code enforcement apparatus operated as a legitimate governmental function — or as a vehicle for personal exploitation by the officials entrusted with its authority.
When the same officer who brings armed police to one resident's home is sleeping with another resident whose violations quietly disappear — that is a two-tiered enforcement system that violates the Equal Protection Clause on its face.
IV. On City Time, On City Property
Our sources have also indicated that Ms. Busby prioritized these personal encounters over her parental responsibilities — a detail we note not for its personal significance but because it was shared with City employees on City time, reflecting a work environment in which Ms. Busby openly discussed her sexual conduct with colleagues while serving in a supervisory enforcement role.
This is a woman entrusted with the power of the state. The power to issue citations. The power to seize property. The power to deploy armed officers. The power to initiate criminal proceedings. And she's using City time to discuss who she's sleeping with while her children wait.
She chose to go fuck some resident over seeing her son's game. And then she had the audacity to ask several people if that made her a bad mom.
What the fuck do you think, Tara? You deserve the Best Mom on the Planet award?
Let that sink in.
The same woman who couldn't find five minutes to look at a professional survey that would have resolved a code violation — the same woman who had unlimited time to coordinate armed police deliveries — had plenty of time for Saturday visits to Arbor Landing and Eagle Point.
No time to read a survey. Plenty of time for a Saturday snack.
V. Five Questions for the City of Biloxi
On March 5, 2026, the undersigned sent a formal press inquiry to Michael Whitehead, Esq. and City CAO Richard Weaver, requesting comment before publication. The following questions were posed:
1. Did Tara Busby engage in sexual relationships with any City of Biloxi resident over whom she was exercising or had exercised code enforcement authority?
2. Does the City of Biloxi maintain a policy prohibiting personal or sexual relationships between code enforcement officers and residents subject to active enforcement actions?
3. Were any code enforcement cases involving residents with whom Ms. Busby had a personal relationship closed, reduced, or otherwise treated differently than cases involving other residents?
4. Was any supervisor — including Jerry Creel — aware of these relationships?
5. Has the City of Biloxi ever audited Ms. Busby's enforcement actions for consistency and impartiality?
A response was requested by 5:00 PM CST, Friday, March 6, 2026.
Any statement provided will be included in full, unedited.
This inquiry was sent this afternoon. They saw it. They could have replied already. So far — nada.
If no response is received, the article will note that Ms. Busby and the City were given an opportunity to comment and declined.
VI. Equal Protection Has Entered the Chat
The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees that no state shall deny any person the equal protection of the laws. That means the government — including municipal code enforcement — must apply its rules equally. Not selectively. Not based on who you're sleeping with.
When Tara Busby issues a stop work order against one resident, deploys armed police to serve it, seizes equipment, files criminal affidavits, and refuses to examine exonerating evidence — while simultaneously maintaining sexual relationships with other residents whose code violations quietly vanish — she has created a class-of-one equal protection violation.
The undersigned was treated differently. Not because of what was on the property. Because of who was not in the bed.
That is the textbook definition of arbitrary and irrational government action. And it is unconstitutional.
VII. The Pattern Deepens
If you've been following this investigation, the pattern is becoming impossible to ignore:
Jerry Creel — the Building Official with five titles — is sleeping with the HR Manager of the City of Biloxi. On city property. On the taxpayer's time.
Tara Busby — the Code Enforcement Administrator — is sleeping with residents she's enforcing code on. While bringing armed police to other residents' doors.
Peter Abide — the City Attorney billing $566,000 a year — directed Busby to issue the stop work orders. Directed Creel to file the charges. Blocked public records requests. Charged 26,000% above statutory rates for copies.
The boss sleeps with HR. The inspector sleeps with the inspected. The lawyer bills everyone.
And the taxpayer pays for all of it.
VIII. What Comes Next
This was going to be a two-part series. Part 01: the armed delivery. Part 02: the aftermath. Done.
But Tara couldn't help herself. She came back. She did it again. And now we have sources. Now we have names. Now we have locations. Now we have a pattern. People are giving us a hard time thinking Tara is decent — by the time we get to Part 05, people will ask themselves how she's not arrested.
Ten parts. One crackhead-looking code enforcement administrator. Zero mercy.
You know, dear reader — we are a man on a mission. The time for saying nice things is long past. This piece of shit brought armed policemen to my doorstep. I could be the bigger man — but I willingly, knowingly will not. In fact, she's done it to so many people who are now traumatized. My goal is but one: destroy these little crooks to the point they won't ever do it again to anybody, ever again.
Tara, you had your chance. Someone asked me to let you go. I did. And you came back for more.
This one's on you.
And Tara — FoFo, small-wiener Creel — there's something called libel. There's something called slander. Sue me.
Here stands someone who will take service over email, will pick up the phone, will reply to whatever you throw our way. Truth is an absolute defense. Dear reader, we dream of the day we are served a lawsuit. But what sucks for us is that we would need to be lying for that to happen — and we are not.
