Jackson Jambalaya

Why don't they start with the trash all around Jackson? Tires, mattresses, couches etc.... on every street in the hood. Abandoned houses over grown with weeds. Raw sewage spilling from the manholes. Why do people live this way? It is not the city's fault it is like that... it is the city's fault it stays like that.

You have got to be fucking kidding us. I didn't know it took that many friends of the Mayor to figure out it gets hot in spring/summer and cooler in fall/winter.

Good to know Jackson has solved crime, poverty, drug abuse, littering and homelessness and has now moved on to solving climate change.

Number one heat issue is too much fire from guns. Number one environmental consequence is too much lead poisoning from bullets. Wish them well on solving these climate issues.

jackson needs a homicide change task force-

Please, please tell me that this assortment of hangars on, parasites, and general foolish people are NOT being paid for this near imaginary function. If so, it is just another parasitic idiocy.

Barring that, I do have a strong recommendation: since "global warming" is alleged to be one of the disasters we currently face3, perhaps we should muzzle (duct tape comes to mind) the alleged mayor. This should cut down substantially on the volume of non-essential hot air in Jackson. To boot, it might help to muzzle the city council too.

Crime, roads, utilities are what needs to be worked on. Beyond this, it is just wheel spinning designed to pay some very nonessential parasites. When I walk or drive in Jackson, I don't think about if the earth will end in 12 years but I do think of being mugged or blowing out tires in potholes.

WTF ????
More of Baby chowke socialist agenda

These paid positions or they doing this for "free"

Maybe they should create a task force to keep the sewage from running down the streets.

Are you fking kidding me?

As if dumping shit into the Pearl is not important.?

Oh lordy, I just laughed myself out of my chair.

Seems like Lil' Taliaferro should start with a Raw Sewage and Reliable Water Supply Task Force.

Somebody is getting a new job to get paid....

Good grief. As if there weren't enough issues that the city of Jackson actually has control over, now they're wasting time and resources on something over which they have little to no control.

"Environmental and Climate Justice"


Somebody want to take a shot at this one?

You have got to be shittin' me!!! Jacktown has way bigger issues than trying to solve the farce that is climate change!! Maybe if they didn't release billions of gallons of raw sewage into the Pearl River that would be their contribution to helping the environment. Those numb nuts that work for the city couldn't close a fuckin' umbrella!!!

Believe it or not, I studied 19th century French poetry.

Why is this committee needed? Just do it. Put thermostats in city buildings in hot weather at 80 degrees and in cold weather at 62 degrees. As vehicles need to be replaced, replace them with either electric vehicles or very small gasoline vehicles. Install programmable thermostats in all city buildings. Replace street light bulbs with LED bulbs. Ensure that heating and AC equipment is inspected and serviced on a regular basis. Have Entergy inspect all buildings to make recommendations concerning energy usage. Have lighting in all city building checked and install new energy efficient lighting wher needed.

I am sure there are a few things, I have left off, but that will get things started.

Does climate justice involve jumping over tall buildings? Flying backwards to make the earth spin in reverse to turn back the clock on criminal levels of water pollution?
Jackson-sucking hind tit since the late 80's

Jackson released a billion gallons of raw sewage into a river and this is what the Lumumba administration came up with. I guess there's no nationwide, personal glory in fixing local infrastructure. Empty Suit.

I have a solar panel scheme that I would love to sell the Mayor. It will be more electrifying than Tesla!
We could even bring back the City of Jackson's electric trolley service! Bet you people didnt know we once had that!

"These paid positions or they doing this for "free"? Will make more than most of us.

They pump half a BILLION gallons of sewage into the Pearl...and they invent a BS committee on climate change

Good to see they are focusing on something the city can't do anything about instead of potholes and crime.

Jackson residents mainly care about: crime, roads, other infrastructure and schools. In light of these legitimate concerns, a climate change task force is a frustrating embarrasment.

If I were a citizen of Jackson (thankfully I am not), I would be livid!

this is bound to make a profound impact on something or other...

lets start with the sewage/water system...there. task force done until thats fixed.

I've been meaning to thank KF for posting the humorous items to lighten up the dreary news. Too bad this isn't just entertainment but a real thing, still good for a laugh. Talk about rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic... Some people had too much downtime in the quarantine.

great. let’s look at the climate that leads to bullets in people. change that climate!

This is gonna be a cool skit.

Even Kenneth Stokes isn't this stupid.

Stokes for mayor!

Fake news. I don't see Greta Thunberg's name mentioned anywhere.

Word on the screet says they gonna call it the Fast Action Response Team.

I want to do my part ....So I am going to cut my auto fossil fuel footprint by staying the hell out of this joke of a city. Glad to help.

Political ambition, please deliver us from this clown car full of carpetbagger fools.

What a clusterf**k we have for a mayor! Is this a belated April Fool's joke?

Un-fucking believable! This has to be funded by Soros and Bloomberg.

Mayor Baby Chok doesn't know the difference between climate and weather. You can take that to the bank.

Will there be a convention in Paris?

Lots of "Drs" on that list. How many have "terminal degrees?"

For you Jacksonians, we still have a few homes on the market to your north, but don't delay.

@10:59a- Sadly, his supporters will think he’s a genius. Their people in “positions” with “titles” equals winning.

Also, deflecting from solving real issues keeps the problems available to complain about next election cycle. He can make more empty promises to his sheep.

This esteemed group, established in the Bold New City of Jackson, MS, will bring forth results that will garner international renown on the level of the Paris Climate Treaty and the Kyoto Protocol.

@10:37 AM - good list, and add to it:

Put duct tape over Baby Chok's mouth to reduce carbon emissions.

Why are they doing this? The incoming Dem Administration will flood them with grant money under the Green New Deal. Every Environmental engineer from JSU will be making 150K to do nothing but shovel money.

And their buddies will get even richer off projects with minority preference.

You don't think Biden's minority outreach guy from Grenada isn't being courted?

Think about what is happening in 5 months.

The mayor's "base" outside Jackson is probably more important to him than his base inside Jackson. This is totally silly for Jackson, but the mayor is cultivating his support and building his resume with the ultra-progressives outside Jackson. After all, THEY have the money.

The City spending time and energy on this is akin to the Mayor yelling: "Oh, look over there...…..a squirrel."

11:53A, I see what you did there.

this is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of, and possibly the biggest waste ever.....and that's saying something as a life long resident of the city.

Go look at the shithole that city hall is turning in to

I just googled "climate Justice." Get ready to be taxed -- Climate justice says that we in wealthy countries – and the wealthier among us – who have benefitted the most from using fossil fuels, must do more of the heavy lifting to reduce our greenhouse gas (or carbon) emissions.

Get ready for a commuter tax.

Hahahahaha Hahahaha

The Lumamba Derangement Syndrome has fully consumed Rankin and Madison counties. It appears to be spreading faster than the Trump flu.

All of these comments are my favorites! I couldn’t have responded better myself

SO I guess they won't be travelling to the Paris A I R Show this year?

When I want to address climate change I call the HVAC repairman.

Maybe they will solve the decades old question of how a thermos keeps hot things hot, and cold things cold.

I wonder if this means the Jackson Airport Authority will make fewer trips to the aparis Air Show to reduce carbon emissions.

In other words, Jackson is going to start taxing the dozen or so manufacturers left in the city. Say so long to Armstrong Flooring and PECO foods.

Junior high school climate club will make posters. Somebody's mom will provide koolaid and cookies.

What in the world is "Climate justice" ?

Laughing my ass off.


Gawd, these idiots create a new phrase every day.

"Get ready for a commuter tax."

Yes, they will probably try again for a commuter tax. If it happens then you can bet your bottom dollar that the few CPA firms, Advertising agencies and other professionals left in Jackson will be headed out of the City of Jackson. If anything Rankin and Madison Counties need to impose a "scum bag" tax on all the trash going to those counties to commit their crimes since they have just about depleted their supply in Jackson.

Is this a climate change task force or task farce?

"Pass the Doobie to the Left hand side." This is truly Nero Fiddling as Rome (Jackson) Burns. So sad and to think of what Jackson Was at one time.

I gurantee you Commuter tax would be the death nail. But then again Maybe Not I pay 5000 a year in property tax cant vote here so I can realign my car. Im just hanging on 5 years until Retirement

Rain on State Street and Ellis Avenue is more important than raw sewage flowing into the Pearl River ?

But I guess that's some kind of goofy "climate justice".

How will the Zoo be impacted by climate justice ?

It's about time someone did something about the weather. The weather is unruly and never follows my forecast.

Chuck, just when I thought it couldn’t get worse you surprise me again. I see another segment on MSNBC. Chuck will again act as a progressive black mayor speaking for all of Mississippi. Rachel will no doubt praise him and ignore the crime, streets, infrastructure issues and of course our world class zoo. The sad but comical saga continues.

We’ve had the best spring in ages and this fool wants to go and jinx us.

BabyChok's imitating de Blasio, in New York. The de Blasio Creature is attempting to wreak havoc upon his city's building stock - requiring older buildings to be brought up to ridiculous energy standards, etc. It's just one of many ways in which he's ruining NYC.

Jackson, if left alone, would be a stellar example of a city's helping reverse climate change. Trees and weeds absorb carbon and produce oxygen. And the buzzards feeding on bodies, plus the packs of wild dogs eating zoo animals and Jackson State students, surely mark a return to something resembling a mature ecosystem.

Not that enhancement of current trends, is really being contemplated for Jackson. What's being contemplated, is some sort of make-believe observance of some sort of pointless protocol, for purposes of getting government money (and career-building within the Democratic Party: as long as it sounds good on paper, that's all that matters).

So truly, in keeping with BabyChok's ambitions for Jackson, as "The Most Radical City on the Planet", I insist that he recruit Gwendolyn Chapman, aka 'Hemp Lady', as Czar for this enterprise. Chapman and her cohort have been feverishly working on building a protective dome, over Jackson, composed of HEMP VAPOR. Recent news out of Jackson, would suggest that this vapor dome is nearly complete. Hemp, as Chapman has explained, "Absorbs radiation... and REPELS it!" Based upon her successes within the realm of Hemp Science, one naturally assumes that Chapman can TWEAK her Hemp Vapours, to achieve optimal C02 results - simultaneously absorbing AND repelling greenhouse gases.

12:41 is correct, this is a resume builder; really, nobody outside of Jackson cares about it; the mayor is smart enough to realize that he is in a dead end job and there is nothing he can really do about this place, sans money with lots of commas between the digits(which is not going to happen). So, it is a stepping stone. No sense in getting worked up over it.

Let's fund a group to study things we cannot change instead of working on solving the things we can.

Stop the talk about a commuter tax. It will never happen. Legislature won't be authorizing any new special taxes for Jackghanistan for a long, long time.

A timely move. But seems the committee could be expanded to represent the city of Jackson.

Who is the puppet master here who is calling the shots All of sudden Baby Chok has taken it up three levels in progressive mayoring.
