Biloxi Politics Uncensored

06/12/2026

Today, long-time resident Christian Wolff, a quiet, intensely focused forensic accountant, submitted a sworn affidavit charging Mayor “FoFo” Gilich with violating 𝗠𝗦 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 § 𝟵𝟳-𝟮𝟵-𝟰𝟱, “Obscene Electronic Communication.” The alleged electronic obscenity? The public communication of the 191-page Resolution asking Biloxi's City Council to issue $18 million in bonds on Tuesday, 16 June 2026.

Also named as co-conspirators in this alleged act of municipal indecency are Chief Administrative Officer Richard Weaver and City Attorney Peter Abide, who apparently aided and abetted the transmission of this 191-page shameful and morbid fiscal fever dream to the public. According to the affidavit, the document was so long, so dense, and so aggressively lewd to read that it caused ordinary citizens to faint the moment they cracked the binding.

When reached for comment, Mayor “FoFo” Gilich reportedly said, “I don’t see how this meets the definition of ‘obscene’ in 𝗠𝗦 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 § 𝟵𝟳-𝟮𝟵-𝟭𝟬𝟯! It’s only 191 pages!” A concerned citizen immediately responded, “That’s how it starts. If we allow 191 pages today, tomorrow they'll be mailing us 192 pages of 𝗕-𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲 along with the 𝗕-𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀!” Before leaving, the Mayor reassured residents by saying, “This bond and that is not obscene! Obscene would be making it 193 pages!”

On 16 June 2026, the Biloxi City Council is expected to approve issuing an $18 million bond backed by a 191-page agenda packet—one hundred ninety-one pages. We are apparently supposed to believe Council members read and understood every page before voting to put taxpayers deeper into debt, but who cares anyway? Wise Carter Child & Caraway, are “bond counsel,” so certainly nothing could possibly go sideways.

We are talking about a bond nearly equivalent to the $21 million bond that was approved for Shuckers Stadium in 2013, with Councilman Kenny Glavan being the only currently seated councilman who voted to approve that hot mess. This is $18 million in debt, tied to a pile of city projects and enough paperwork to smother public accountability in its sleep. Biloxi’s future generations get pinched with business as usual meaning a bigger tax bill—yes, it’s coming. 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗸𝘀, 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗖𝗔𝗢 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱—𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀.

Any Council member who votes “yes” should be able to explain exactly what they read or start mentally packing the cardboard box for their nonexistent City Hall office. We get it, Mayor “FoFo” Gilich, CAO Rick Weaver, and City Attorney Peter Abide “recommend approval,” but if Council is approving $18 million from a 191-page packet, the bare minimum is proving they did more than skim the title page and trust the same city machine that needed 25 years to discover a leaking police station roof while somehow producing porta-potties that function better than the bathrooms at Hiller Park.

At the last City Council Meeting, Councilman Wayne Gray (Ward 1) addressed the parking issues on Howard Avenue by justifying the change, saying, “If you go through now, you can actually see businesses that you couldn't see before cause there was a big old suburban blocking it.” He also suggested those businesses “may pick up business” if they “give it a little time,” and brought up the possibility of parking meters.

Since that meeting, some of the downtown parking spaces have reportedly returned, notably in front of "The Scoop Biloxi " and "The Avenue Salon", which shows the concerns from business owners, workers, and residents were not just complaints for the sake of complaining. They were specific concerns about access, convenience, and whether the City’s parking changes on Howard Avenue were actually helping downtown businesses or making it harder for people to support them.

Now, with some spaces returned, the ongoing discussion has turned to “1 Hour Parking” signs, which appears to be an effort to make a more balanced decision on parking in Downtown Biloxi . Time-limited parking should help create turnover for customers while still keeping spaces available along Howard Avenue. The key is making sure any final decision works for the businesses, employees, and customers who actually rely on downtown parking every day.
