Trash Talk: Let's Get Ready to Ruuuuumble!!!

 The Jackson City Council will hold a special meeting tomorrow.  Would anyone like to guess what is one of two items on the agenda? 

ORDER AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACT AND

RELATED DOCUMENTS WITH RICHARD’S DISPOSAL, INC. TO PROVIDE SOLID

WASTE COLLECTION AND HAULING SERVICES FOR A SIX (6) YEAR TERM

COMMENCING APRIL 1, 2022 WITH FOUR (4) ONE (1) YEAR EXTENSION OPTIONS.

The City Council solons rejected the contract with Richard's Disposal on two separate votes.  However, the City Attorney told the City Council last week that a line was removed from the contract so it would not be voting on the same contract for a third time.   

Tune in tomorrow.

Everyone should just take their trash to the hotel at Ellis & 80 and burn it. Homeless will be warm, no trash contract and eventually the hotel will burn up and won't have as much to clear off for all the new businesses fighting to come to Jacktroit.

The Mayor is really demonstrating that getting this contract for Richard’s Disposal is a life or death situation
…for HIM!

I am guessing he provided some grease for the rest of the council.
Or maybe some blackmail? Perhaps threats of violence from the armed thug militias who freely roam the city?

Stokes is the canary. If he votes yes then we know that vote it didn’t come cheap.

If only the mayor worked as hard on issues like crime or homelessness or drugs or littering or deadbeats paying utility bills or fixing infrastructure.

Who did the council hire as legal representation and wonder if they'll be there?

"[T]he City Attorney told the City Council last week that a line was removed from the contract so it would not be voting on the same contract for a third time."

The mayor finally found a city attorney who will roll over completely for him, just like he did with police chiefs. It may be for a judge to ultimately rule on whether that any vote approving the contract at this point is in fact a legal vote.

Pssst, Virgi. The mayor probably will not back your Belhaven initiative in exchange for your vote on the waste contract. You are being used. Even if he does back you, it isn't worth it.

if waste management would just understand that rolls royce cars are always in need of repair. someone needs to keep it on the road..

Are Stokes' Palms Greased Too? said...

@1:34 PM's last sentence is spot on. If Stokes rolls over will the last person leaving Jackistan please turn off the lights. Don't bother with the water and sewage, as they are already turned off.

The mayor hasn't been up front with the city council about water & sewer system repairs, EPA orders or anything else. Why would any council members on the fence trust him with a garbage collection contract?

Maybe his honor dumped all the trash on 220 from hwy 49 to I20, to show that WM is doing a bad job. What a disgraceful mess.

Seems they have special rules for special people, but nothing new here, democrats in action!

The good thing is this circus only affects the people with houses and businesses in Jackson. The sad thing is this affects the people with houses and businesses that couldn't afford to leave or thought the Titanic (aka Jackson) could actually be saved from sinking.

This has to be an April Fools joke. Right?

Take it to the Banks said...

I seem to remember the last vote was 3-3-1 with Banks abstaining. Foote, Stokes and Hartley voted against. I don't think either of those 3 are going to change their vote/position. That makes Banks the Bag Man. The Bag Man that just stole your privilege to put your garbage in a bag in order to tie you to a 96 gallon cart. For the next 6 years and more.

And that my friends is the bottom line.

I’ll get this out of the way for when this is inevitable approved: If you have the means to leave Jackson, and stayed anyway, you chose this. Good luck.

City already lost some serious court case carrion to an associate of Richard's Disposal. Now boy mayor invites the vulture back for the bones?

Yelp has about 25 customers dumping on Richard's failure to pick up trash and not answering phone calls. Richard's D. Averages 1.5 stars on Yelp where most would have given a minus 5 if available.

This dump of an outfit will be worse in Jackson.

This will happen.
And the M-Bar crimepatheater will happen too.

And as 9:16 said the ones who stayed and paid taxes to fund this continued corruption get no sympathy.

Can you really remove one sentence from a contract and then bring it back before the board again claiming it is a new contract? This doesn't seem right.

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.
