Garbage Contract Rematch!!!

 Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba is not ready to throw in the towel in his quest to double Jackson's garbage service fees and cut the service in half.  Nope.  The City Council is going to hold another special meeting to discuss and possibly vote on the contract Thursday at 2:30.  Hmmm...... that means there is one question to be answered. 

The City Council rejected the contract on a 4-3 vote* last week.  If the City Council votes it down twice, FCC's contract can not be voted on again for at least a year.  The current Waste Management contract expires on October 1.  Soooo...... is someone going to switch his vote? 

JJ has also uncovered the name of one of the DBE sub-contractors: PDT Logistics.  It is owned by the wife of one Richard Bradley, owner of the M-Bar and a $10,000 donor to Mayor Lumumba.  

Stay tuned. 

Note: Dr. Williams will be stepping down as Public Works Director and returning to his previous position of City Engineer.  The City Engineer position remained vacant while Dr. Williams served as Public Works Director even though the City Council confirmed him for the job. 

Hmmm.... let's speculate a little.  The Public Works Department recommended awarding the garbage contract to Waste Management.  Several of the Mayor's people, including Ridgeland resident Dr. Safiya Omari, sat on the Evaluation Committee.  The Committee overruled Public Works and awarded the contract to FCC.  

* Yea: Lee, Grizzell, Lindsay, Nay: Foote, Hartley, Banks, Stokes

RUN!!!! RUN fast out of that goat rodeo of Jackson. The clown show radical mayor, crime, lack of basic services like water, roads and sewer are astonishing. Property values are tanking by the day. Ask anyone who has sold in 39211 recently…. They reduced price and gave their beautiful homes away. Eastover and nearby area homes are selling at greatly reduced bargain prices. It’s so sad to see the city fall so far.

Lets hope Kenneth takes his B-12 shot today and tears into his majesty. Unfortunately, none of the TV stations will ever confront him over is Bravo Sierra.

Why is Angelique Lee still supporting this crap?

Jackistan. Corrupt and incompetent "government".

What is the logic behind cutting service in half and doubling the costs?

If he is bringing this up knowing he will not be able to address the issue again for a year, he is pretty certain he has the vote. Money talks.

This is perfect. More open corruption in the bold new city.

Street committee says the ward 7 Councilwoman has been working to change votes.

Beautiful time for KingFish to uncover cause of unreasonable fealty of Vassal Virgi to the Boy Mayor.

Other questions - Did Waste Management submit a proposal to continue collecting garbage? If so, which bid is the "lowest & best"?

Kingfish said...

Yes, it did.

Let's see, why would Lee support this? She doesn't stay gainfully employed for long periods of time, she and her kids have to live at home with her folks. The Mayor got behind her for City Council so she owes me and doesn't have a screw you job or screw you money.

I don't think the Mayor would call for the vote if had not purchased another yay vote.

What's that smell? Shitnanigans?

The boy wonder gets caught crapping his diaper again.

I heard that woman with the beauty shop who disinfects polling places on the side, might reappear.

I live in Foote's ward and emailed him asking him to not change his vote. I received a reply that he has no intention of changing his vote.

The boy mayor Chowke also wants to raise taxes to "fight crime." Sure, by hiring his pals to do studies, decorate the Real Time Crime Center, yada, yada...

I know the question!! How much did he threaten them or offer them?

Corruption is as Corruption does said...

Between now and the prior meeting there has been lots of (Multiple choice):

1. Quid pro quo agreements (actually, wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
2. Palm greasing (of the thick variety)
3. Threats
4. Markers called in

Well, I guess if you don't want to pay twice as much for half as much service when it comes to picking up the garbage, that is payable as a service connected to your water bill, then just don't pay your water bill. Right? Seems to have worked for a LOT of Chowke's people for several years now, right?

Buford T. Justice said...

Hartley will flip. His district will get something really good.

No way Foote, Banks and Stokes will.

Foote hates pay for play projects..Bigger Pie Forum.
Banks is running for mayor next time.
Stokes knows the WM employees.

So this all hinges on Hartley. Fact.

Seems a simple solution would be to allow Waste Management to simply mail out their own bills.

What are the chances Coleman J will read this and Magnolia's station will report this corruption b4 thurs?

So with M Bar's wife being a DBE contractor, was/is he banking on making bank off the contract to fund his new greater than ever Murder Bar? One has to wonder.

The Garbage contract was going to pay for the renovations

They can’t even manage the water bills. I have been getting estimated bills for 6 months now and I refuse to fatten their pockets. This is just another source of kickbacks for them. Name 1 positive thing this administration has done to help citizens of Jackson. I’ll wait

The RFID Chips in the 95-gallon very heavy carts will match which water meters? The Siemen's meters or the new ones? If the new meters have the old chips, won't they read the same screwed up billing? If the new meters have new chips, then the garbage cans won't work right if they have the current chip match up. When do the new meters go in? How long after the WM contract is ended will it be before the new garbage containers are issued? This voter wants to know.

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.
