Jackson Jambalaya

This will be the time for the council to deal with the mayor firmly. If not now, then it will show itself to be utterly craven. One would think that the council as a body would if nothing else be tired of how it has been treated by this mayor

I hate to sound crude, but it’s time for that city council to shit or get off the pot.

Ashby and Virgi better wake up. Ashby has had a backbone recently after it seemed many people in NE Jackson had enough of his bow down attitude. Virgi on the other hand better stand against this Richards crap. No one in fond ten area wants this crap and was happy fleury WM… wake up Virgi!!! Stop caving

I think the mayor should declare an emergency and dissolve the council and appoint the dope boys who control each ward to be the new councilmen for the rest of the term. JPD will answer directly to the Mayor and City Council. Then the new City Council will easily win re-election in a landslide and can amend the rules to allow Lumumba to be Mayor for Life. Lumumba will rule until he decides his successor. It will be a proper Junta.

Geez, when will the fiasco ever end?! We all know by now that Chokwad is corrupt as hell, so who's going to grow a set and stand up to him??

Mayor Lumumba is bringing the BBC this time.

This should answer any questions about how many council members took Richards money.

lol @ only 2 comments!

Agenda item 2 brought by King Lumumba. Haha

When do we learn that Richards is just fronting for WM? I mean, is this not plainly obvious to anyone with a brain?

Since being a councilperson does not pay much, random meetings at 12 noon, biweekly meetings at 10am, really limits the pool of people who could ever serve on the council. People who run their own business, and retirees. That's it. That's why we're never represented by regular working people.

12:41am, you must not understand how the Jackson city government works. Council does not have any power to "deal with" the mayor. All they can do is continue to reject his proposals, and if they do, the mayor will continue creating emergency orders.

Best they can do is negotiate, and I've seen little evidence of that happening.

Is the meeting open to the public?

Will there be a live stream?

9:31 : Only if you are planted there by the King.

I asked why Councilperson Lindsey always marches in lock step with the mayor and that question was shit-canned. It deserves an answer. Why censor it?

First sentence in that comment was what got flagged.

In case you didn't notice, she didn't have an opponent in her primary. Think about it.

Should be a live stream on city website and FB page.

I'll be surprised if most of it is not in executive session.

Think he's bad, just wait when he gets bennys office.

Has anyone checked Chokwe's driveway to see if he has that new Bentley yet?

Impish antics of boy mayor despoil his character like crap in the rotten Jackson water system.

Shameful display of corruption craters Lumumba's character like a Jackson roadway.

Marxist agenda of our spoiled emperor brat kills the local economy like the 150 per year Jackson drill club.

@7:22. Stated in a succinct manner.

Have to agree with 10:00 am.

@10:03 AM - That would be the Bentley with blue lights and siren, so hiz-onher can respond to "emergencies," right?

Garbage contract talk for months.

All while murders continue unabated, cops walk off the job, water is toxic on the rare occasions that it does flow, pot holes abound, judicial system is a joke and residents are forced to build walls and hire personal guards and cameras.

Welcome to the finish line, Jackson.

You chose this.

Not a Bentley but a limousine out front. Passed by his drive about 8:30 last night.

10:26, This mayor's agenda is mostly black nationalist. If you haven't already done so, I suggest you look up the New Afrika Republic and the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, which was co-founded by the current mayor's father, Lumumba I, in Detroit.

It appears that Virgi's sole reason for existence as a city counsel member is to push through Belhaven's Special Local Improvement Assessment District, as if that is really going to insulate the neighborhood from Jackson's problems.

PLEASE - please post the video of the meeting. That was wild. Councilman Stokes and Chief of Staff Omari really got into it.

Well I wonder who Chokwa Lobotomy will try to intimidate on this tomorrow?

They have a 1st Grade class touring city hall that the boy mayor gonna put the "stank eye" on so their parents will pay their water/trash bills. He better be careful, some of those 13-14 yr old kids are pretty big!!!!!

Stokes to Omari - “nobody elected you to shit!”
Classic Stokes

I missed it! What happened during the meeting?

Please! please! please! post a video of this meeting !

Seems Stokes didn't hold back with Omari (and say the nicer "Boo Boo" phrase) but went full court press...

" Mayor Lumumba is bringing the BBC this time."


Laughing my ass off at that comment.

12:55 : And likely strapped.

Kingfish is a drama queer er, queen
