Trash Talk: Chancellors Recuse

 The Administrative Office of Courts issued the following statement. 

The Mississippi Supreme Court on March 11 appointed Senior Status Judge and former Supreme Court Justice Jess H. Dickinson to preside as a special chancery judge in the case of Chokwe A. Lumumba, in His Official Capacity as Mayor of the City of Jackson v. The City Council of Jackson, Mississippi, Cause Number G2021-1229. The four Hinds County Chancellors recused themselves in an order filed on March 10.

Antar is so desperate to get this pushed through. Desperate like a man who’s life is on the line. It looks so shady.

Is this regarding garbage contract? KF, sometimes a little explanation and commentary goes a long way.

Antwar's Antics are romper room drama, beneath the dignity of this judge. He has awesome judicial qualifications yet chose the short straw here to act as a foster parent for an insecure poser mayor. Will the judge deliver a public spanking of sorts to redeem civil responsibility and practical governance in Jackson?

Is JJ the only site you read? He didn’t scoop WLBT this time. He was the slowest local outlet to report this. I just came here to comment.

12:19 : Hinds County officials in all capacity under perform. This will be no different.

Funny how nobody outside of Antar’s inner circle wants to hitch their wagon to his dope smoking corruption! It will be interesting to see how many rats jump off the sinking Lumumba political ship this weekend! It’s almost too late! He’s going to start setting up patsies and stooges to take the fall!

Remember what I said about the Detroit or Atlanta trap house arrest! He is going to run to them dope boys when he realizes he has NOBODY left to protect him in Jackson politics!

Order from Jess:

There was no “emergency.”

Failure to enact policy does not make an emergency under common definitions.

Richard’s does not have a valid binding contract duly authorized by the city council.

End of order

I predict that the child mayor is going to suffer a serious spanking.

America was built on corruption.

Furthermore, you sound jealous.

Yo Chowke, poor planning, corruption, cronyism, and stupidity doesn't create an emergency on our part, right? Don't expect your race card to bail you out this time, right?

Atlanta demographics aren’t even close to Jackson’s. Detroit is doing better even. At least the token white mayor of Detroit isn’t corrupt like Chokwe! They ran his friends out of motor city.

You actually took the time to post a lame comment seemingly directly towards Mayor Lumumba who, in case you didn’t know, DOES NOT READ THIS GARBAGE BLOG.

If I were you I’d send a postage letter to city hall.

Richards had the lowest bid for 2 day a week pickup with cans provided. (That said, just because the Richards' bid may have been lower on that specific quote with cans, that doesn't mean Richards is the best qualified for the job. Their record/history is not good.) But The City Council rejected the Richards' bid because they didn't want the cans, and they rejected that bid more than once, which means it can't be brought back up for another year.

Waste Mgmt had the lowest bid for 2 day a week pick up with no cans, which is what the Council wanted. So the Mayor should have submitted the Waste Mgmt contract to the Council for approval. But rather than accepting that bid/offer from Waste Mgmt who won that quote, the Mayor goes out and gets Richards to reduce their bid on 2 day pickup with no cans to now match Waste Mgmt's bid. Too late, Mayor, Richards' bid for 2 days with no cans was already submitted and can't be re-submitted past the RFP deadline. Waste Mgmt had the lowest bid for 2 day with no cans first, so submit that to the Council and quit paying stupid games.

The Mayor claims that Waste Mgmt is white-owned company (despite the fact that most, if not all of the local pickup is performed by an African American owned subcontractor and run by African American employees). But Waste Mgmt is actually a publicly traded company that is owned by people of all races. They Mayor has repeatedly stated that the sole reason for his wanting to use Richards is because Richards is black-owned. In other words, RACE is the only factor at play here. Mr Mayor, with all due respect, you are the only one being RACIST here. You have become the same thing you claim to preach against, a RACIST.

Some of you are probably not old enough to remember 1990….Marion Barry comes to mind. Repercussions bypass certain groups and “Little Boy Mayor” knows it.

Anonymous said...

So if 1:02 is correct, who's on the hook for the "start-up costs" in the contract the mayor illegally signed? If the contract is illegal, I assume the city can't be made to pay. Could Richard's hold the mayor personally liable? Or is Richard's SOL?

Anonymous said...

Companies that do business with governmental entities are charged with knowing the laws governing contracts with those entities. There's not a contract unless it is spread upon the minutes of the council meeting. Richard's will just have to eat it.

I don't know that Jess Dickinson's appointment is so great. HIs record on the supreme court wasn't, and he was never a trial court judge before being appointed to the supreme court. In fact, it was a big surprise that he was, seeing that he was an obscure attorney on the Gulf Coast at the time. He's been appointed to hear a few cases in the trial courts since he left the supreme court bench, but I don't know how much confidence that gives. I don't know if he will have the courage to ignore the emotionalism and race baiting that is sure to be a large part of this case. Now, it may be that he will choose to stay proceedings in the chancery court since there is already a case in circuit court which essentially involves the same issues. Not that I have much confidence in Hinds County's circuit judiciary. In any case, I can't see how these actions will be finally resolved before the end of this month. And there is the likelihood of these cases ending up in the appellate courts. So, do the courts stay Chockwe's emergency order while litigation proceeds? If so, who picks up the trash?

Anonymous said...

IANAL but Richards probably won't be sure they are SOL unless and until they invest a bunch of money in lawyer's fees and court costs. Suing whoever for whatever and filing motions as someone thinks fit for whatever legal theory is being chased.

Winter is famous for his whiney plea..."Can't we just get along". Other than that, he was a cheerleader at Ole Miss.

Chocko needs to be more worried about Special K's slander suit forthcoming.

When will Hinds County judges get some cajones and stop recusing in every controversial case. It seems like the factor the judges consider when controversial matters are assigned to them is how will this case impact me at the polls. Being a judge isn't about just wearing a black robe, the job actually requires the ability to decide difficult matters based on the precedent. After all, there is a winner and loser in every legal case.

The judicial canons should require judges to offer a written explanation when a recusal order is entered.

I was a little surprised since two Chancellors don’t live in Jackson.

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.
