The Jackson City Council will discuss yet again the garbage contract. The agenda states:
The Mayor will probably explain yet again why he wants to force 96-gallon garbage "carts" down everyone's throats.
Meanwhile, WLBT reported some rather curious features of the dbe "partners" in the proposed garbage contract:
A company the city of Jackson previously sued to recoup thousands of dollars it had “inadvertently paid” for helping move its water billing software to the cloud is one of the minority contractors listed on a trash-hauling contract for Richard’s Disposal.
Last week, the city council voted down a proposal to hire Richard’s for residential waste collection services....
The Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Plan for Richard’s shows that the New Orleans-based firm would subcontract with two EBO companies located in the capital city: Expert Professional Solutions Inc. (XPS), and H&P Construction and Consulting.
H&P would provide consulting services, while XPS would provide “information technology,” according to the document. Article.
H&P is owned by Mike Brown and Patrick Walker of Jackson. Willie Webster owns XPS. The owner of Richard's Disposal, Alvin Richard, Jr. is a minority.

The City of Jackson is the most racist outfit in existence. They would rather eat shit than do business with a non minority. Too bad because look at where that has gotten them!
Yes, from a previous theft that Shad has yet to look into.
96 gal containers are big enough for a squatting porta-toilet and will resemble them if blue. Every homeowner who pays their trash bill already has a couple of suitable trash cans which fit in their garage.
Slum lords who have nasty, littering renters, not other rate payers, should be responsible for providing their tenants with a normal sized trash can.
No wonder the mayor's minions conveniently couldn't recall the minority contractors in Richatds' proposal when pressed by a councilmember earlier this month. They somehow didn't have that info in front of them, even though they attended the council meeting to support the mayor's recommendation of Richard's to collect the city's garbage.
Richard's sourcing the cans from a white company in Michigan.

Howdie Doodie is just as terrified of being accused of racism as this blog owner and yourself.
The sheer volume of meetings and attention given to making sure the trash buddies get the contract to steal more tax dollars, compared to the amount of effort expended to curb murder, crime and infrastructure failure is absolutely comical.
You cannot make this up!
Enjoy the clown show and insane priorities Jackson. You definitely deserve it!
Why shouldn’t whites be the minority contractors? They are definitely a minority in the city and are under represented.
This sh!+ stinks
Consultant$, $ubcontractor$; $ee a pattern here? Chowke's sister getting a piece of the action, right?
How come this drags on ? Shad says he just needs a report right ? Well ? I am just a dude and can see the corruption. And I bet there is a paper trail from here to Atlanta that proves it.
You don't need a bunch of consulting and IT to pick up garbage. You need garbage trucks, drivers, some dudes hanging off the back of the truck, and a landfill to take the stuff.
It was just discussed by Councilman Banks that the city reaches out regularly to city venders to pay for lunches, parties,gifts & other items for city officials and city employees. Memo to City Officials & employees: This is against the law!!!!
Can someone please just take over!?! Anyone?!?! Why is so much talk about the carts? Must be a lot of margin in the carts. Damn, I’m so tired of hearing that word. Almost as bad as “transitory”. Clearly, this company can’t do the job. Just read the reviews/articles in New Orleans. It is what it is. As far as Waste Management, the mayor clearly was “disrespected” by a national company that has shown they can do the job. This mayor is a child. No, that’s not a racist comment. It’s a maturity comment.
