The Jackson City Council has been quite busy lately. However, one little matter escaped the media's attention. The City Council created it's own creed and passed it at last week's meeting.
I am a Jackson City Councilman.
I am weak and I have no heart.
I can never do the right thing nor accept responsibility.
I will always place my ego first.
I will never admit fault.
I will always quit.
I will always take the easy way out.
I am obnoxious, loud, mentally weak, immature, and potentially brain-dead.
I always maintain my self-importance, my stack of excuses, and lack of motivation.
I wear my City of Jackson pin.
I suck at life and will never try to better myself.
I am a Jackson City Councilman!

It's city councilperson... I thought it was not politically correct to use gender. According to Donna Ladd and the JFP... also, councilman Banks likely needs his read to him as I'm sure he can't read!!!
that would be one thing they got right!
I'm confused, what did someone do now?
@ 1:06 That's just it, they don't do anything...!!!
Since all are in this brotherhood together, is it OK if this is copied for use in another venue? Asking for an elected official in Canton.
I think you plagiarized that from Big Swoll aka Kenneth Stokes.
Virgi does well. Republican from NE Jackson is a clueless moron that sides with Stamps way too often. If councilman Banks only knew what others outside of his warzone of a ward thought about him he might stop running his mouth and listen.
You forgot...
I will never answer questions from citizens or the media
I will always take credit and never take blame
I will never address the problems that really matter
I will ignore the water system and never discuss it
I will never be accountable because I don't know what it means
I will always blame racism
I will always run for a higher paying office
They left out the part about taking kickbacks from minority-owned businesses to get city business
I noticed the council waited until Kennuf was on medical leave so it didn't embarrass him publicly
This doesn't apply to Ashby though. He's definitely not loud or obnoxious. I'm not sure if he ever kept track of his COJ pin either.
You also forgot...
I am the only politician in Mississippi with these traits. (except for my fellow councilmen)
It is all my fault.
2:49, I think you have your councilpeople mixed up.
Please give examples of where Foote has sided with Stamps on anything that wasn't a unanimous vote of the council.
Bet you can't name two, much less anything that could be defined as "way too often".
Generally, its Foote, Priester, Tillman and Lindsey against Stokes, Stamps and Banks.
"What did someone do now" you ask?
Oh - they pissed the Fish off with their zoo antics (might best be related to a circus, but that could be most anything that comes out of this council AND administration.
should have ended it with
"Next"
@3:49
I like Ashby Foote and live a few houses down from him. I also attended west point as he did. Obviously I'm 20 years younger than he is. Any one that runs as a Republican against Ashby Foote will win. Your obviously his wife.i say that because outside of his household no one in ward 1 thinks he's worth a $#it.
3:49 PM, well, Stamps will be warming his seat up for someone else soon. What is his new title again?
Foote is honest, smart, and does fine under the circumstances. He will be easily re-elected if he chooses to stay in that
Cesspool. Foote is also very aggressive about identifying waste and bad practices. No one else seems to want to reform
or cut spending on anything.
He is?
Foote voted against the 'healthcare' grab of free speech. He is the only radical to serve the City.
4:16 - why don't you try it then. And while you are at it,tell us what you think you could accomplish sitting on that dias as a Republican (white, at that) amongst those other idiots.
Foote is doing fine, and while there aren't many interested in taking on this position, he could win over most all of them.
Don't believe it - the filing fee is just a few dollars; write your check and show us your West Point mettle.
(And no, I'm not his wife. Don't swing that way.)
Just saying: The female councilperson doesn't return phone calls. Ashby Foote does.
Ashby and Susie are good people. We’re fortunate that he’s willing to be a part of this circus on our behalf. Can you imagine spending that much time dealing with those morons yourself?
To the blogger defending Ashby. To say he will be easily reelected shows your obviously unaware or just lack insight to those residence of NE Jackson. I know 2npeople that will likely run against him. He's aggressive? Your out of your mind. People of ward 1 call virgi often times due to Ashby not calling them back. This said I still eat with him Thursday morning at broad street. He's just a bad councilperson.
Susie is a wonderful person... she is a sweet lady and a supportive wife. Ashby is not ideal for a councilman. Did someone say he's "aggressive" if that's the case you need to look up the meaning of that word. I do know many people frustrated by Ashby. Look at virgi... she gets things done. I told Ashby a year ago while eating breakfast with him as I often do... Ashby vote with Virgi if your ever in doubt.
Will someone please tell these keyboard wiz kids the difference in YOUR and YOU'RE. 7:22, 6:09.....public school alumni?
Kingfish, when you're responding to someone's comment on one of the threads on your blog, please reference their time stamp or name. Otherwise, it's difficult, if not impossible, to determine to whom you're responding. (Your post at 4:45 PM in this thread, for example. Thanks.
