Jackson Jambalaya

Of course, if the council overrides the veto, gumflapper will just follow Dumbass Dickinson’s reasoning and veto the veto override.

Wonder what "personal" services they are looking for from staffmark? More proof that our education system in Mississippi is a joke!

Can't be havin' them garbage trucks stagin' at Hawkins Field. That's an entry point for visitors to the city!

Council will break-away in a Focus Group and ride out there on a Cline Tours bus. Somethin's gotta be did.

The only town where people are leaving faster than from Jackson is from Kiev

If I were advising the council, I would not recommend attempting to override the "veto" because that would look like an acknowledgement that there was actually a valid veto (which there obviously wasn't).

I recommend the Mayor read Don Quixote. It seems he is relying too much on Machiavelli.

I see your veto and I raise you 10 vetoes.

Will the little boy win today?

Won't hizzoner just veto their veto?
This is just a circus.

I see your ten vetoes and raise you 15 vetoes.

Manage the quorum rule until this bullshit disappears from the agenda.

When Dems run a city this is what you get. The fools that voted these people in deserve what they are getting. One thing I might add is I see that it is nonsensical to have garbage pickup twice per week. Especially in this case when the new company can’t even determine whether they are picking up trash SOUTH of the city limits in another municipality.

My garbage was supposed to have been collected on Monday. It got picked up Tuesday afternoon.

Damn. Jackson making the rest of the state proud of their local officials. That's a major accomplishment.

Chok's award from Havard, with the byline of "impacting local communities," makes sense now.

9:29 AM
For the win.

Funny as f@#k to watch the narcissist boy mayor jockey for getting in front of group to get pic taken.

Eastover Place was completely skipped Monday and yes, Tuesday.

7:35 here. I read the agenda too fast. I thought they were going to vote on overriding the mayor's purported "veto" of the failed vote to approve the Richard's Disposal emergency contract. I didn't realize that the mayor had vetoed the council's decision to approve the 6-month emergency contract with Waste Management from last September. That's what today's override vote was about.

When did the mayor veto the decision to approve the WM 6 month contract and why?

This whole mess is so absurd. As much of a waste of time and resources it is, I really hope the city council continues to fight back out of principle.

If the mayor is so hung up on his talking point about 2x/week + carts with Richards being cheaper than 2x/week without carts with WM, why doesn't he really save the city some money and propose we go with Richards' super-discount offer for 2x/week with no carts? Obviously it's because WM scored the highest in the 2x/week no carts category despite not being the "cheapest", but the mayor doesn't like to acknowledge that. Still disappointed in Virgi switching her vote.

@1:14, obviously it has become a racial issue as to who the mayor wants. It’s still illegal, the council has to approve the pay applications/invoices, which is not going to happen, and no matter how you look at it the staging area seems to be a backdoor deal also. This little chump thinks that since his dad was buddy buddy with Bennie Thompson and they operated the New Africa Republic together out of Bolton that he can get away with anything. There are still people around that remember….yes…we remember!

Why should a disposal service provide garbage cans? Oh…I forgot…jackson is a third world city…never wind
