Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba is holding his weekly press conference right now. It is streamed below.
The Mayor will hold a town hall at the Raymond Road campus of New Jerusalem Church Thursday at 6 PM.
Mayor Lumumba doubled down on accusing Waste Management of closing its transfer site to Richard's Disposal garbage trucks. He said it took place on April 2 and April 4. Waste Management denied the claims as the company said it was open and accepted all deliveries from Richard's Disposal.

It will be less honest and less relevant than Kenny Stokes radio broadcasts.
Lumumba can’t read the room. Watch is body language, he is always awkward.
Perhaps his behavior is caused by autism? Perhaps it is just perpetual fear.
Garbage is piling up dickweed.
How does this clown think Richards is going to get paid?
Jackson should be proud of itself for electing bold new leaders such as Mayor Lumumba. Isn't that right, Kingfish?
The council will vote against paying Richard’s, the Mair will veto the no vote, Richard’s gets paid.
WM should buy Richards
Failing and flailing, a desperate Lil Choke demos his one true skill: blaming others for his shortcomings.
UM....Let's see if I have Friday garbage pickup and Richard's has not picked up my garbage that is TWO weeks I have gone without garbage pick. The mayor said he had heard folks saying 2 weeks without pickup and that was impossible since Richard's has only been on the job 1 week.......
Richards will get paid.
If the city council refuses,Lumumba will just veto it. He's just getting started.
Shad White could have saved a lot of taxpayer money by watching this clown run his mouth for a few minutes. Nobody with a college degree wants to live in a city with a population that not only tolerates this level of incompetent narcissistic failure but gleefully elects it over and over.

We'll see what the Appeals court says.
@2:09 PM
Harvard disagreed.
And "politics" in general aren't to be trusted.
TRANSLATION: Don't hate the player, hate the game.
AKA Richard's, already incompetently running behind, didn't check the open hours and drove all the way out to the Waste Management facility to find it closed for the day, so the Mayor needs to protect them by projecting blame.
New garbage dropoff site can be found in downtown Jackson, City Hall.
Hasn't the court decision been appealed?
I just need someone to pick up my trash. We had a party at the end of March and now I have 30 pounds of crawfish and shrimp carcasses rotting in the heat and i can smell it inside my car when I back out the driveway.
The Mayor must think if he says "right" enough, people will believe he is right.
3:12 : I know you are kidding but this is not something normal folks do. I like using the local creeks to discard these things.
If you got to the town hall Thursday bring a bag of garbage.
Gotta love chaos. The mob will straighten this up soon.
I have a family member that lives in Byram. Saturday he trimmed some bushes and tree limbs and placed them accordingly at the curb where the City of Byram could bring their knuckle boom truck they just purchased to pick them up. Byram does a very good job of this. Although, a Richard’s Disposal truck showed up on SUNDAY and was traveling though the neighborhood. There was no garbage to be picked up that day by Byram, and Byram does not use Richard’s. The truck stopped and picked up the refuse and my relative approached them and gave them a soft drink for picking up the refuse. He also told them they were 3/4 of a mile from the Jackson City Limits and he said the look on their faces were priceless. This is what happens when you have incompetent companies performing work they are not qualified for.
Recall his ass! He is garbage!
I know I’m being tacky but the Mayor needs to sharpen his speech skills before he runs for President. He used Umh at least 30 times in his Presser.
Jackson's "Boy Wonder" looked very tired at this presser.
(Almost like he was hung-over)
But I'm sure it was only the jet lag from that "one hour and fifteen
minute flight" back to Jackson from Atlanta.
Presser? Chok can press a big hog and spin on it and tell all of Jackson it's raining and he's not pissing in the wind and spraying all over them.
I'm not OCD but 1:39 into this video & I've already counted 32 times this man has said "uh".
He has to be the King of "Right" & "Uh"
Lumumba claims the city didn't keep records of the pickup routes. That's demonstrably false. The city did keep records of the routes until he was elected. You can still access them.

Just click on find your street.
Chowke Lumbubbles is full of shit like a holiday goose.
Antar is a liar and a charlatan and he is in way over his head.
Now he is alluding that he may not approve medical marijuana for Jackson unless criminal dope boys can participate. What an absolute buffoon. Would this manchild really let Rankin become the Metro medical marijuana stronghold over the leftist “ban the box” talking point?
NE Jaxn resident here for 50 years. My trash pickup days have always been Mon and Thurs. Never recall trash not being picked up until yesterday. Put can at the street before 8 am Monday, and it is still there this morning -- trash not picked up.
Mayor, you are AWFUL! Shame on you for destroying the one thing that worked in this city -- garbage collection.
From our Mayor, per WLBT:
“A veto is never issued when the majority has not made a ruling. It’s always to override the majority,” the mayor said. “So that argument would be not only against me, it would be against the President of the United States and any veto that is applied anywhere. "
WTF does that even mean?
@9:30 AM
It means that he isn't the first politician in America to issue a veto against a majority ruling and he won't be the last.
Education is free.
Except the Council did not make a ruling. The Council cannot make a ruling. They are not a judicial body.
Education is free.
I challenge the mayor, or anyone else, to cite one example of the President of the United States issuing a veto of a Congressional decision to take no action.
And the fact that he issued a veto does not somehow convert the inaction into an action, which is the argument I think he was trying to make. A decision to take no action is not, in and of itself, an action, unless we really want to torture logic to an infinite degree. That sounds like stoner thinking to me.
Like clockwork, the astroturf 'Working Together Jackson' puts out PR in advance of an upcoming Lumumba preening session, er, 'Town Hall'. Every.single.time.
@5:54 PM
You appear to be an intelligent being. I can’t understand why you’re wasting your intelligence on absolutely nothing at all. Cause basically nothing you say affects Mayor Lumumba not his decision.
You should’ve ran for public office.
10:12, I guess we've reached the point where Lumumba finally lays his cards on the table and assumes his birthright as the King of the Republic of New Afrika.
I expect we'll see a veto of the city counsel's vote to override his last veto in the next day or so.
