Jackson Jambalaya

Not CCJ, but in one month now, our trash has been picked up once on its actual scheduled day, averaging once per week. We've been Mon/Thurs for the 20 years I've lived here. I can count on one hand over that time our trash pick-up was missed, and even then WM would rush through early the next morning to make up for it. Richard's has nearly matched that in 30 days.

They want y’all gone! If you didn’t already know

this, this may be the issue that sinks the current administration. can’t hide behind piles of crap..

Maybe it's time to take the G-wagon to city hall and protest.

CCJ: This isn't hard. Pay tribute to Lumumba and your garbage will get picked up.

I hope your right 11:38.

But the "powers that be" may buy thirty or so unknown locals to run in the primary, thus splitting the vote.

But methinks there just may be some bigger names in the next Democratic run-off.

Richard's has no intention of maintaining a twice weekly, no-can pickup long term in Jackson, MS. They will install a once per week pick up schedule for the same price after people become accustomed to having their garbage picked up on THEIR schedule. It's a done deal.

Well since he’s a member maybe he will see this on way to his tee time this afternoon.

Mayor moron… you piece of garbage. My trash is waiting for multiple days now and finally my yard guy that is married to my nanny came last night bless his heart to pick up our 2 garbage cans with his yard truck. Your a idiot to the highest degree. No one with any skill or education thinks your worth your weight in salt. I have nothing for you nor do my neighbors

Mayor Ludumbles strategy is that by the time election season starts Richard's poor service now will have improved enough over time and largely forgotten or forgiven by the majority pop to win another re-election. The lawsuits don't phase him, as he is using them to keep the council tripped up in defending themselves both in court and in the public. Sadly, quite a few of the low-information commenters I've seen interviewed on local news, even though they are frustrated, seem willing to still give him and this "rookie" company a chance hoping things improve.

@1:53
You’re troll wasn’t subtle enough

I don't think this is a failure. It's part of Lumumba's process. He has to show him money-men he's sticking it to whitey.

Oh OK.

Garbage pick up is running along nicely in Madison County.

My Ortho doc lives in CCJ and I see him in flowood clinic. I told him this mayor would be bad. He said I will give him a chance
Last week I saw him and he said well you were right. This mayor is no good.

Finally picked up at 4 today .... After someone finally got through to dispatch at 3:15

We don't have garbage problems in Rankin county.

so 5:37, Rankin is stankin just on its on, doesn't need garbage hanging around extra days to create the stank.

Based on my travels through Rankin over the past several years, I never attributed the stank to extra garbage (out at the street for pickup, that is). I just figured it went with the territory. Guess I was correct.

We live in rural Hinds County. Waste Management does a fantastic job out here. The employees are friendly, polite and efficient. My neighbors and I always bake cookies, muffins or little loaves of bread for them for Christmas as a thank you for their reliable service. We do the same for our mail carrier, too.

Jackson is so screwed up. It used to be a nice place to live and raise your children.

So fugging what. You dumb fugs ASKED FOR this shit to happen by sitting your lazy asses at home instead of voting this crook out !
