Need a Remodeling Specialist?

M.A.C. Construction owner Marcus Wallace sparred with Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba over whether M.A.C. was "certified" to do road work at the Tuesday night  meeting of the City Council. The Mayor flat out said that Mr. Wallace wasn't getting contracts because his company was not "certified."  Mr. Wallace hotly disputed the Mayor's statement.  He said "None of those things are true.... Marcus Wallace and M.A.C. and Associates, I'm very certified. I would bring a certificate to the Council next week."   Such a disagreement should be easy to resolve  since licenses can be verified at the website of the Mississippi State Board of Contractors. 




A check of licenses at the Mississippi Board of Contractors reveals that M.A.C. Construction is only licensed to perform remodeling work.


Compare the license to those of other minority contractors in Jackson.




And of course, our favorite cons, Fisher.


This one is in Carthage.


 Then there is Hemphill if you want to compare minority contractors to those that are not minority-owned.


M.A.C. is also not certified as a minority-owned business at the Mississippi Development Authority.  It is not known if he is registered as one with the city of Jackson.

No wonder the installation of my new water meter was so screwed up. Within one month after the installation the pipe on my side of the meter started to leak within 2 INCHES of the connection to the meter. Guess who had to foot the bill to fix the leak?

The jump suit orange was not a good color selection for this witness on this occasion.

Marcus is VERY qualified, and that fact is inscrutable.

@ the 4:00 minute mark when the camera zooms in on LaMOOMba Jr. it's very obvious his barber uses farming tools to create that "style".

Just like his daddy, CL is starting to hold the 'community' responsible for failure and not just let them blame whitey.

He's figuring out what it means to be mayor..

I do believe he is tied up in court for money he basically stole from Hemphill in a joint venture.

All TVs in Jackson and surrounding area hotels should be banned showing local stations so people visiting to do business can’t see how our city is run. If they saw this they would checkout never to come back. Loss of tax base shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.

He be certified in stretching da truth.

I would love to see a certificate of insurance on MAC if anyone has it and could email it to KF. I bet it doesn’t even begin to cover what all he is required for what he is wanting to do.

1:20 - not just what "he is wanting to do" but the millions he has been paid over the past few years for what he was supposed to do under his EBO contracts handed to him. But, no need for insurance certificates - or certification - when all you do is take the check and pass part of it through to the major contractor.

Maybe his lack of a 'certification' could be a basis for the city filing suit for a repayment of the almost $20 million he got paid for work "supposedly" done on the Siemens water project.

Wonder if his involvement with the Siemen's project is why the City is having so much trouble calculating and collecting water bills ???

The mayor got justifiably disgusted and upset with this jackass, using the Kennuf Stokes method of predicting the obvious (somebody is going to get hurt by these potholes) to promote his own personal agenda. This scum found the death of a young student a convenient opportunity to embarrass the mayor who rejected his unqualified ass. Shame.

Bidding on contracts your not liscened for is against state law. It’s also against state law to accept a bid from a contractor not properly liscensed. The state board of contractors should be investigating Jackson and MAC.

MAC is not probably lisenced for water meter installation or pot hole patching.

*licensed...but you’re on a roll so carry on.

Perkn said...

regardless of his motivations, he was correct a few months ago. someone got hurt, and none of you were bitching about his comments then. shame on you! he is still standing in front of Jackson's leaders bitching about potholes. i haven't seen yall up there. so either shut up or get your ass in front of them. we need the infrastructure corrected in this city to survive!

"Very Certified" as opposed to "Sorta Certified".

Lol. Jackson is dooooooomed. From the legal system to the school system. From the roads to the water pipes. Even the old money be all like, “what we gonna do?” in the privacy of their own homes. Jackson’s only saving grace at this point is a “radical” mayor who is so radical that he actually makes sense when he’s not pandering to his base of black hippies who are soley convinced that they are in a holy war with the government at all levels while said government is keeping them housed and alive, but it can’t keep the bullets from flying.

Kingfish said...

The subject of this post is apparently saying on social media that I'm not approving comments that defend him. Well, ive all but two and they weren't flattering to him so guess what? I'm going to approve them all. He will get what he wants.

The Siemens Contract has doomed Jackson. Everyone connected to it from beginning to end has damaged the once bright future of Jackson. The geniuses who perpetrated this scam on the City ought to be in Jail. I can name about 20 of them. Why is it not working properly? Quit blaming the City and start blaming the contractors and the Prime: Siemens, most of all. Many people got lots of money and the City got screwed. From the salesmen who sold this to the council, to some of the council members, to all the rest involved, how did it feel to nail down the top of the coffin that once was a flourishing and growing City? Has the money really benefited you?

The city of Jackson water & billing system was f'ed up long before Siemens ever entered the picture.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
