Jackson Jambalaya

Okay, I have seen thirteen lawyers names associated with this stuff. They all inflate their egos buy charging at Least $200.00 an hour, some considerably more. I am assuming these Attys. are billing at least 50 hours each. Not that they worked that long, but that is what they billed. That is least $130,000.00 that our city has absolutely wasted, but made some lawyers happy. Has the sewer been fixed? Can we drink the water?

Jackson doesn't need a movie theater. Just watch this shit and make sure you have popcorn.

Virgi Lindsey, Bryan Grizzell, and Angelique Lee must have gotten their share of the bribes that were handed out

At one time, The mayor had a chance for a Biden position. But acting like a fool over garbage has certainly ended that dream.

6:58 he campaigned for Sanders took money from Bloomberg. Biden doesn’t want him. Neither does Benny. CNN wouldn’t even hire him. He’s toast.

@5:32 - is it your assumption that all the lawyers are being paid for by the City? I would think that at least the two with Richards, and the couple with WM are being paid for by those companies.

There is the Mayor's, the city attorney and all her staff, and the Council's --- two, one for each for the two suits.

But you are assuming that the Mayor gives a damn about spending our tax dollars - its not his money but it is his ego. And, he is a trial lawyer himself, believes in this kind of foolishness.

And It would also appear that more than a few elected sphincter muscles have become much tighter during these latest legal proceedings.

Oh ye of little faith.

Ok, the simple legal issues. What’s the problem and what should have happened

First, the failure of the city council to prepare and approve its minutes is a BIG PROBLEM. The law is very clear council speaks only through its minutes and if there are no minutes since 9/21 they have not spoken!!! This is a serious issue not only for this contract but any action they took without minutes. This could mean personal liability and/or “other” cupability. I cannot imagine the City Attorney not jumping up and down about this.

Second, the Mayor presented a contract for approval (like it or not), city council should have approved or disapproved on its “minutes”, then the Mayor would have to veto if they disapproved if he wanted the contract as is, then city council would have to override the veto by super majority (2/3s) vote spread on the “minutes”. If city council did not override mayor veto, then the contract would have been approved. With no minutes mayor’s lawsuit to mandamus council to prepare minutes is valid action although serious question whether you can do so after the fact (in my opinion you can as long as action was actually taken).

If city council overrode the mayor’s veto then mayor had two options appeal that to circuit court as being arbitrary and capricious or contrary to law, OR he goes back to renegotiate contract to satisfy the city council’s objections or proceeds to the next bidder to negotiate a contract with them (Waste Management) until city council accepts or cannot override his veto.

This is not difficult law and makes common sense to boot!! Anyway my 2 cents with some experience in this area. Yes I am a lawyer, but not involved except as an observer of Hinds County and City of Jackson. Yall make our area look sane!!!

What's everybody here going to do if he wins?

6:58 Hope that is so, but you can never be sure when it comes to the Left. I would hazard the guess that if the Democrats get the butt-whuppin' they have earned in November there will be little appetite among the survivors to appoint this arrogant, Marxist fool to much of anything. The main thing to be concerned is whether this fool will replace Bennie Thompson. For reasons I do not understand, Chockwe II is not likely to be turned out of office and may well get "promoted". We can only hope that the longer this trash fight goes on the greater the possibility that Chockwe's real reasons will be disclosed. That is probably the only way to end this fool's political career.

@6:57 PM and @6:58 PM are the same people.

BTW, do you know the statue of limitation on sex crimes?

Then why didnt Ladumbo just veto the council’s no vote, then see if they had the 5 votes to override his veto(they dont).
Could it be that the mayor-Ladumbo-can not veto a “No” vote by the council?
You need to do a little research.

@5:44

You forgot all important barf bag!!!!

@10:35 AM
I did! Thanks for the reminder!

Because city council did not take action and spared on their minutes, therefore there is nothing to veto. The law is very clear the city council can only speak through its minutes. They can vote all day long but if no minutes are prepared of the vote or action spread on minutes its means nothing.

Mayor’s suit to mandamus or compel them to prepare minutes has merit, but the other suit has no merit.
