Banks Statement of Facts on Garbage Collection

Jackson Ward 6 Councilman Aaron Banks authored and submitted this column.  Guest columns on the Jackson garbage controversy are welcome. 


Over the past two years, the Mayor and City Council have sparred over the garbage collection contract. Each time, the Council has spoken by a majority vote over who would have the capacity to collect garbage within the 113.2 square miles of the City of Jackson.  Our procedural process is that after a winner of a bid within the RFP is presented, it is then presented to council for approval. If the council votes it up,  the mayor’s office proceeds with contract negotiations; if it is voted down, then the mayor’s office begins negotiations with the 2nd place winner of the bid within that RFP.  After the council, having voted down the proposal (bid) presented by FCC twice, the mayor’s office asked the City attorney’s office to see if he (the mayor) could declare an emergency to execute a contract. However, this was done; one week before any negotiations began with Waste Management.  Those negotiations failed, the council went to court to ensure that garbage collections would still happen. In court, we reached a settlement agreement signed by both parties and entered into a six-month agreement with Waste Management that was approved at the next council meeting. That agreement allowed WM to service the City of Jackson for 6 months, while the administration proceeded with another RFP process.


During the most recent RFP, there were four bids in one RFP 1) Once a week with a cart, 2) Once a week without a cart, 3) Twice a week with a cart 4) Twice a week without a cart. The winners are as follows:


Once a week with a cart bid – FCC

Once a week without a cart bid – FCC

Twice a week with a cart bid – Richards

Twice a week without a cart bid – Waste Management


The mayor’s office presented the above as an order with all 4 winners, I was clear that the majority of the citizens in Ward 6 wanted twice a week pick up, without a cart. During that meeting the council eliminated the once a week bids, and asked the mayor to present to us the best bid for approval.


The mayor’s office presented Richards, and the company was voted down several times.


Here is why I voted Richards down:

  1. The concern of accepting a bid based on the tonnage of garbage vs the number of households. 
  2. The cost of gas to run the trucks to cover all 113.2 sq miles within a reasonable amount of time to ensure citizens are serviced properly. 

Please note the aforementioned items, brings concern about underbidding and capacity. It appears someone was just trying to get a contract. 

  1. The principal that cheaper is not always better
  2. And if there is going to be an increased price from what the city charges the rate payers then as a council person I must do my research to ensure quality service.
  3. With all that we have going on this is not the time for trial and error and the manifestation of that is showing now, with Richards.


After Richards was voted down, the mayor abandoned the procedural agreement that existed between the council and mayors for years and refused to negotiate with the winner of the twice a week bid without a cart, and began declaring an emergency weeks before the deadline agreed upon between the council and the courts.  When the council stated that there was no emergency and the majority of the council asked the mayor’s office to complete the RFP process by negotiating with the next winner. The City Council was taken to court. Here is what we know.


The judge stated that in order to have a legal and binding contract it must be approved by a majority of the council. (which has not happened)


Due to the footnote placed by the Judge, the mayor’s office including the city attorney interpreted that to mean that they can veto all actions and not just the affirmative. If the mayor in any municipality can veto a "nay" vote that fails 3 to 4 then the mayor can rule by Minority Fiat and there is no reason to have 7 council members because the majority of the council doesn't matter. 


The Mississippi Office of the Attorney General has issued several opinions making it clear that a mayor has limited veto power and cannot veto a negative action; in an opinion issued to the attorney for the City of Hollandale, the Attorney General opined that, “Without any action taken by the board of aldermen, a mayor has nothing to veto. Inaction on a proposal is not subject to the mayor’s veto.” Cordell, Miss. Atty. Gen. Op. No. 1983 WL 43027, 1987 Miss. AG LEXIS 1418 (Oct. 13, 1987) (see also 1987 Miss. AG LEXIS 1444 and 1987 Miss. AG LEXIS 112). In that opinion, the Attorney General went on to opine that, “In exercising the ‘veto power’, an executive officer is exercising a limited legislative power that is only a negative, not a positive power.” Id.; (citing State ex rel. Teachers & Officers of Indus. Inst. & Coll. v. Holder, 76 Miss. 158, 23 So. 643 (1898); (Fitzsimmons v. Leon, 141 F.2d 886 (1st Cir. 1944); Mills v. Porter, 222 P. 428 (Mont. 1924)). Additionally, in an opinion issued to the city attorney for Booneville, the Attorney General opined that, “A negative action, i.e., a failed motion, is not subject to veto by the mayor.” Tucker, Miss. Atty. Gen. Op. No. 2007-00538, 2007 Miss. AG LEXIS 343 (October 26, 2007). 


Currently the Mayor is attempting to veto the following:

  • The agreed settlement, from the courts back in September.
  • The 6 month agreement with WM, that was already performed and the city has already paid for.
  • Ordinance allowing the City council to approve its minutes before each council meeting, as required by state law.
  • Richards contract that failed 
  • Order to continue declared state of emergency which was voted up.

The sad reality is that if the judge rules in favor of the mayor, we will set a precedent that would have long term implications as it relates to the governance of every municipality within the state; where the mayor can run any city without a legislative body. 

These questions will be answered by the Judge and my prayer is that we can get to proper governance, so that we can all do the job you elected us to do.

And it's the same statement from the get go. Bottom line is that the Mayor doesn't recognize the city council and hasn't since his first term. The council in its own bafoonery put themselves in this situation. THEY created the little Dictator. Jackson City Government DOES NOT FUNCTION and ALL should be re-called. Including ALL of their aides.

Happy Earth Day everyone!

Reminder: Mayor Antard Chuckles likes to proclaim he is a green environmental justice warrior, while the City of Jackson pollutes worse than the surrounding industrial parks, according to the EPA.

But hey, don’t you all feel dignified and included by his empowering speeches in other cities and states?

He should’ve been a Motivational Speaker instead of a do-nothing mayor!

At least he recognizes the essence of the mayor's plan, "Someone was just trying to get a contract". Change orders and "unforeseen expenses" would ultimately follow Richard's engagement, so that in the long run their cost would be more than Waste Management's bid price. There would be no real savings just a change in the extent and quality of the service. But the "right people" would have the job. Just get the contract, that's the main thing.

I have lived in Jackson more than 50 years and we have always had twice weekly garbage pickup without some special cart or can. I never heard anyone complain. WM was the best bid to continue that service. What am I missing?

If the Mayor presented the 4 winning bids in the form of an Order, with WM being the winning bidder for 2x week without cart, and the other three bids were rejected, couldn't the council have voted to accept the 4th option from WM at that point? It appears that all three entities had an opportunity to bid on each of the 4 options. When the 4th option (no cart) was the one that was accepted by the council at that point, it seems like the council could have just voted for WM as the winning bidder at that time.

Worst Mayor Ever = Antar Lumumba said...

>>>>> DON'T FALL FOR LUMUMBA'S BULLSHIT <<<<<


$7.2M delta (for JFP and MT readers, meaning difference) of RD vs WM (initial 6 year term).

45,000 homes per the RFP (more likely 53,000+)

6 year initial contract term. Twice weekly pickup. (Regardless of can mode.)

Average of 8 collections per month for a total of 96 total collections annually.


$7,200,000/45000 = $160 per home TOTAL over initial 6 year term to keep WM.

160/6 years = $26.66 per home per year to keep WM.

$26.66/96 annual collections = $.28 CENTS PER COLLECTON TO RETAIN WM.


$7,200,000/53000 = $135.85 per home TOTAL over initial 6 year term to keep WM.

135.85/6 years = $22.64 per home per year to keep WM.

$22.64/96 annual collections = $.24 CENTS PER COLLECTON TO RETAIN WM.

Has anyone thought to just ask "theoretically" how much hiz honor the Mayer is getting rom Richards for his "help" to push this through? At some point Jackson has to ask itself what the cost of prolonging this poop show is and if there's a way to cut our losses.

Mayor LuDUMBA claims racism is at hand for Jackson not receiving the funds from the state legislature for water repairs. He reminds me of my son when he was 6 years old and did it get his way
Like everyone knows luDUMBA is incompetent and a spoiled brat little boy. Only a fool would make such stupid statements publicly with a track record that his administration and city of Jackson leadership currently has
It would be irresponsible for the state to just give him a blank check. Stop with the BS claims and get your sorry a$$ to work and be the public servant that your are supposed to be. You work for the tax payers. I live in NE Jackson and I think your total crap.

What's wrong with having a bin? Where I live now we have once weekly pickup, with large bins. The truck is operated by one guy, and it's fast and efficient.
I've never come close to filling my bin, even at once per week pickup.

Who is complaining, and why?

Why should I be forced to buy one? Also, I spent $100 on a toter from Home Depot. Many people bought two of them. Why should we be forced to waste that money?

Lumumba
February 17, 2022

Fact: The contract would include twice a week pick up and with a cart to make the City more sanitary and remove the eyesore of multi-colored garbage bags in our neighborhoods. The cart option was selected by the City Council after discussion with their residents.

If this is a fact, then Lumumba should be able to offer proof of the fact. He can't. His statement is a falsehood, a fabrication, an outright lie.

Apparently these b.s. productions staged by his courtiers are why the national media love him so. Too stupid to see through them.

The first mistake I see in this timeline was assuming the mayor would act in good faith once the six-month contract extension for Waste Management was in place.

Now he wants to cry foul when they don't make that mistake again. At this point, it's just stupid to assume he's not lying and acting with dirty motives. He's done it too many times to be given the benefit of the doubt.

@ 10:22: maybe because Clinton has functioning water,good garbage pick up and doesn't have murders most every day.

Thank you, Councilman Banks, for that benchmark summary. I agree with your conclusions.

Common sense will tell you that you can't veto a "no" vote. If a court has not addressed the issue, it's because the idea is so ignorant that we don't need a court ruling. Judge Dickinson fouled himself by his musings in a footnote, which makes one wonder whether he still has his legal faculties about him, let along any measure of common sense.

WM has done a good job. I wish someone would poll the sanitation workers. I'm betting that they have a grapevine running to other area cities. Beyond that, as always we need to "follow the money." The Mayor says that there are Council members who have been bribed, but there's been no follow-up. Was that a diversion?

It appears that no one is picking up on the REAL issue here. ‘ Due to the footnote placed by the Judge, the mayor’s office including the city attorney interpreted that to mean that they can veto all actions and not just the affirmative. If the mayor in any municipality can veto a "nay" vote that fails 3 to 4 then the mayor can rule by Minority Fiat and there is no reason to have 7 council members because the majority of the council doesn't matter.’

What this means folks, is that the mayor wants total control, wants to eliminate the checks and balances system between the mayor and the council. If he is successful, the council will no longer have any say on anything, rendering the council useless and no longer needed. Then the mayor will answer to NO ONE. And that means we no longer have any representation and will be subject th whatever whim comes across his mind.

Let THAT sink in.

This was a bad move by the mayor for so many reasons. Waste management has a facility in Jackson and has been located there for several years they’ve been paying taxes and now they no longer have an incentive to stay here and contribute to the tax base. Richard’s is an outsider. Also The city of Jackson was probably one of the largest customers in this area. surrounding cities should be protesting the mayors move as well as waste management will now either how to make some really big cuts or increase the prices for surrounding municipalities. I don’t know why anyone on the council has not talked about these issues in addition to the legal violations but I think they are important as well.

You are naïve if you think his constituents vote based on logic.

He will leave Jackson in worse shape (I didn't think that was possible) and continue his career in DC.

And Jackson will in turn, name many streets and buildings in his honor and romanticize his tenure by re-writing the facts and lauding him as a saint.

Wait and see.

Good thought 3:31, but Waste Management is a big enough company that can easily grow or shrink dependent on the needs of the places they serve. There will always been trash. As for the price increasing for other cities, what hasn't increased in the last year-and-a-half for everything? Even if WM trucks don't run on diesel, natural gas is also more expensive. In the long run you have to ask if the service is worth the price (and I am not just talking about monetary).

Anonymous said...

1038, I agree with you that nobody should fall for Lumumba's bullshit, but your math needs a little work. Granted, Lumumba's math needs a lot of work, especially considering that his first proposed contract to Richards was based on 45,000 households but when he did their emergency contract he is paying them based on 53,000 households. (Banks questioned at length how they figured the 45,000 carts would be adequate and the Mayors ---- I mean, the city's ---- counselor answered that they knew that there were not 53,000 active households). Yes, paying Richards for 53,000 is only a way to say that this 'emergency' contract is not more expensive than what the city has been paying WM - which is pure Lumumba BS.

But - for you to say that twice weekly equals 96 pickups - it doesn't work that way. If every month had 4 weeks, yes your math would be correct. But, only one month has four weeks, the other 11 have more. There are 52 weeks in a year - twice weekly means 104 pickups. Now, after that basic math (or would it be science) lesson, go back and do your calculations again.

I wouldn't vote for Lumumba either, but that doesn't make Banks the only other option.

Thank you, Councilman Banks. You had my vote in the last election. I'll be a campaign donor in the next one if you run. You'd have my vote as mayor for sure.

My trash should've been picked up this morning, but there it sits... YET AGAIN. Hope the mayor's contractor gets around to it before the raccoons and strays.

Right now we're "paying" for twice weekly pickup, but we're only "getting" pickup every 1 1/2 - 2 weeks... if that.

Overcharge and (vastly) under-deliver... guess that's how Dick's, I mean Richard's, disposal was able to compete with Waste Mgmt's bid.

Lived here for nearly 25 years and NEVER had these problems with Waste Mgmt. With WM, we always got what we paid for! Thanks for standing up for what's right.

There should be groups of residents organizing to do this, but it wont happen.

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.
