This guy is a total clown! He needs to focus on his constituents rather than worry about this other cap he has absolutely NO authority over. Get over it your a city councilman. All I hear is more government more government more government and tax the rich in Northeast jackson. Can someone please give this moron a lesson of 101 economics. Here's a clue... it isn't government. This clown has done much more harm than good. Get a clue you total dumb a$$... there is a reason your ward looks the way it does.
I was under the impression the Jackson city council had many important things to discuss.
Now I see why they never get anything done.
and this is why we can'talk have nice things.
sheesh - what a maroon :-)
Let the record show that the honorable right gentleman across the chamber does not have a college degree, and that he should tend to his business and let others tend to theirs!!!
God Save the Donald
If this idiot wanted to actually achieve something he wouldn't start with this. I live in ward one NE Jackson so I have no voting power in terms of stamps getting elected or not however if we did the educated higher income population would never be in office and he and stokes both know that. They simply play to there base voters only. Sa
He left out the resolution regarding moving people from welfare to work.
Stamps is all talk no action. Kingfish can you please post anything that Stamps has done for Jackson.
How about the $25k the city attorney wants to replace carpet because “on Wednesday, September 13, 2017, a customer entered into the office of the city attorney building, and he unknowingly was bleeding from his leg profusely. The wound left a trail of blood from the main entrance of building to the front of the secretarial area.”
Or the $25k that stokes wants to give a police officer because he “now faces physical and fiscal challenges from a serious illness of approximately eight months.”
Isn't this the same person who believes that there were groups of Africans in the new world before Europeans arrived? Could we run that one past Henry Louis Gates?
Mayor Sloganeer blows hot air, why can't Stamps?
These are words spoken by a person that has obviously never created a job and has clearly never taken a economics class. Stamps could stand to look around and figure out why Jackson businesses are leaving the city. This is coming from a Jackson resident by the way. They aren't leaving due to lack of government. This is infuriating. I hope Ashby Foote, priester and Virgi put the quash on this time wasting agenda. They seem to be the only intelligent council members.
What is "THE HOMEWORK GAP"?
The Homework Gap be the space between knowledge and stupididity.
Sirs and madams Stamps has put a strip club in his ward to bring in econmic to city of jackson, called NYTELIFE GENTLEMANS CLUB.. THX STAMPS.
A couple of years ago I was watching (I think on public access channel) an awards ceremony for civic leadership in the "hood". Mr. Stamps got up and started talking about how "they" were trying to kill the black people in Michigan via lead contamination in the public drinking water supply. He said he would not allow "them" to do that in the great city of Jackson. What a racist buffoon. By the way the ceremony was very entertaining...I thought it was a comedy at first until I realized it was total incompetence.
Remember Eric Fleming of recent democrat legislative fame in the State of Mississippi? He eventually lost reelection a few years ago; however, while there, he introduced something like sixty bills every year, none of which ever saw the light of day.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right....
At least Stamps talks and brings attention to his District unlike professor foote. He just sits there and never says a thing. He should use the microphone to stand up for his minority district.
All of these issues appear to be valid concerns for any metropolitan area what's the problem. As to the length of the meeting are they paid by the hour?
Maybe he should run for a state legislative seat.....plenty of nonsensical resolutions passed there.
Anybody named "Dekeither" has lost me at hello.
Foote has NO backbone! Next republican that opposes him I'm voting for. He's useless. For a guy that attended west point academy he is a weak SOB.
Foote has NO backbone... I love it. Hilarious! I hear comments like this all the time from ward 1. People are not pleased with his non actions to say the least. Hell... at least follow Virgi on the votes if you are confused. It's unreal how clueless and weak this man actually is. No backbone I have to use that next time.
He could easily be elected to The House. After all, you people did elect Cecil Brown. Over. And. Over.
(Street Signs - A guaranteed way to diminish participation)
Stamps should apply this quote to his daily life. " it is better to remain silent and appear stupid rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt"
That's the best advice anyone can give him after seeing his wasteful agenda items.
Really? Comparing Stamps to Cecil Brown? And you want to be taken seriously?
I remember when this race baiting poverty pimp called for a boycott on any business outside of Jackson. I called him and chewed him out as I have a business outside the city and I am a resident of jackson. He didn't seem to comprehend the conversation well. That's when I realized he is a total and complete moron elected by morons in his ward.he could never be elected by northeast Jackson Madison Ridgeland etc... educated population.
Cecil Brown never accomplished a damned thing and neither will Stamps. So, yes, in that regard, they do compare.
Hey people,
Don't blame Stamps here. It's not his fault that he doesn't understand basic rules of economics!!! Understanding that money goes where it is treated best is a simple concept to grasp. That's why my business is located in flowood and I live in Jackson. The tax on inventory in Jackson is a old dead almost non existent system. He has no understanding of this. Anyone know his education background?
