Jackson Jambalaya

This wouldn't happen if there were more bird cages to line. Maybe they would be useful if there is another TP shortage.

Rat's nest-

Animal shelters would love to get those newspapers to line their animal enclosures. How much extra effort would it have been to make a donation to help homeless animals?

Birds aren’t real

There are no garbage dumpsters located outside the Clarion Ledger’s building?

Aubrey Williams for Mayor!!!!!

The JPD request that citizens report illegal dumping is laughable.

JJ's Jackson readers should also note that a portion of Antar Yakety Yak's requested solid waste rate increase is specifically to pay for illegal dumping to be picked up by a private company on the ratepayer dime.

Yakety Yak got that idea at one of his "town halls". Dignity economy equity-based deductive reasoning works like this:

1. The people at the "town halls" don't like illegal dumping.

2. The Mayor has no intention of enforcing laws.

3. Therefore force the people who don't like illegal dumping -- regardless of their financial ability -- to pay to have the garbage picked up.

4. Tell the people that the Mayor fixed the illegal dumping problem.

5. When the illegal dumping continues and the people complain the Mayor will go to the TV Newsers (and public works kid reporter savant Nick Judin) to demagogue the bad private solid waste provider who must not be picking up the illegally dumped garbage fast enough.

6. Should the people still be unhappy the Mayor will tell the people that Rukia the Omnipotent will send the illegal dumping credible messengers over to ask the illegal dumpers to stop illegal dumping.

7. If all that fails and the people are still unhappy about illegal dumping the Mayor will stimulate the fawning non-questioning national press to report that the Mayor walked on water and solved the problem using his superior intellect and ability to communicate nothing at all in 5000 words or more.

nice tinder for torching the abandoned home though…

How many copies of "Mississippi Today" are in that pile ?

Maybe the local homeless guys will now take their sh!ts in front of the CL building instead of the normal spots.

They should have been dumped in front of the High Mayor's security gate, right?

@9:51 AM I honk every time I drive by his place, day or night. Just waiting for one of those JPD officers stationed across the street to pull me over for some other ostensible traffic slight when the real reason is I honked the horn.

10:16 AM
He probably takes it as encouragement.

@10:16 AM - light off one of those packages of firecrackers or M-80s. That should get those officers off the internet in their cars, and maybe baby chowke will wet his pants and hit his panic button.

9:33 - you have a gift. Keep posting, please.

8:58am asked: "There are no garbage dumpsters located outside the Clarion Ledger’s building?"

Yes, actually there is a building located across the street that has the words "City Hall" facing Congress Street that serves as a major trash receptacle. Large pockets of hot air can be seen rising out of the building every other Monday and Tuesday.

What a shame to blight such a nice neighborhood

@9:33AM
The comment about JPD asking the public to report illegal dumping made me laugh. Like, who really believes the JPD will comb the city looking for perpetrators of illegal dumping?

2:15 : They can't even stop the homeless from sh!tt!ing right out front of the police station !

Until a paper is sold or delivered, does it still belong to the CL? The PoPos need to go arrest someone at the CL for dumping "Trash". Then they could be sentenced by the court to pick up and dispose all of the trash in Jackson.

I'd also add USA Today and the Nashville crew to the arrest.

Meanwhile: There is no way to track the number of people who have dumped this Blog.

Former employee here. Those are free weeklies meant to be thrown in every driveway on a delivery route, subscriber or not. Drivers are paid $1 per bundle. However, since no one ever follows up to verify if they were actually thrown; they wind up wherever a driver can ditch them. When I worked there, it was commonplace for drivers to take them directly to the recycle dumpster and toss them. What that means is that all those advertisers are being robbed, since rates are determined by circulation. Baptist Healthcare & Cellular South usually had prominent ads, as I recall.

There is no way to track the number of people who have dumped this Blog.

Maybe so but we don't have to be concerned that you are one of them.

Every newspaper has half a ton of uncirculated, unsold papers. You can call any of them and they'll tell you come get all you want for wrapping/moving use, etc. What do you suggest be done with them, otherwise. Bon Fires are not legal except in West Jackson and Smith Park.

...and animal shelters can pick them up just like anybody else can.

$1 per bundle to deliver to every driveway within a route? Lumumba should have something to say about that undignified rate of pay.

I saw a C-L paper the other day, it wasn't big enough to wipe your ass with.

Advertisers, I think still get credit for those ad packs that go out for free. Anything to keep circ number up. By the way anyone that delivers the C-L is NOT a C-L employee all are contract 1099 contractors.

Several HOA's around the country have stopped newspapers from dropping these in driveways and yards. Newspapers have free reign on public but not private property.

While I was there a new Circulation Director decide he wanted to test Mayor Mary and place newspaper coin machines outside a bunch of Madison neighborhoods entrances right of ways. It took the publisher to convince him he did not want that fight.

Remember, Antar Yakety Yak wants Jackson utility ratepayers to pay the cleanup tab for this growing scandal of Clarion-Ledger illegal dumping.

Mayor Mary for Attorney General!

But, one has to have courtroom experience for that job.

The current one doesn't.

I see they interviewed that asshole PJ Williams. The Clarion Ledger should have dump them newspapers on him with all the trash talk he does about white people.

The Clarion Ledger has become a leftist , race baiting rag. Every day they post some divisive drivel about how horrible the state and the country is. They continue to cover for the inept and senile Biden and the socialist Democrats. No wonder they dump their papers. You might as well just watch MSNBC and think you are getting news. The CL will not take letters to the editor for fear of publishing something that might criticize the left. They even dropped Mallard Filmore in the comics because the comic strip poked fun at liberals and do-gooders. The CL is guilty of not really attacking the problems of Jackson and laying blame where it belongs. I sold all my businesses and my home in Jackson and got out. The people continue to elect incompetents to run the city and wonder why Jackson is the way it is.
