Jackson Jambalaya

I didn't think there was a contract, right. I guess Chowke gonna say there is a contract, right.

IT'S A TRAP!

You mean he still has his knees?

Holding a press conference to discuss a garbage contract...or lack there of, you can't make this sh-t up!

He just can't let it go can he?
What is it about Richards that he's so obsessed with?

Can't wait to hear these pearls of wisdom.

Think about how better off the city would be if Sir Choke simply did nothing and left the trash alone. 100% self inflicted crises. And just think about the energy, effort and political capital this fool has wasted on a losing issue. If at first you don’t succeed, double down like a stubborn fool.

Stokes says he's proposing resolution to require Lamumba to finance appeal, if any, with his own money. Then, if he wins, City reimburses him.

Stokes says now it's time to issue new RFP and not to pay Richard's because there is no contract.

This 3rd rate lawyer we have as a mayor is going to announce that he’s going to pay for the legal fees

As a good Baptist, 12:45 is too early for me to play the drinking game where I take a sip every time the boy mayor says “right?”

Blame whitey, Republicans, state not giving them money, city council
Blame it on the heat, climate change
Don't talk about crime, 77 and counting, gangs, car jackings, copper steeling
Don't talk about lack of police officers
Don't talk about lake of clean, clear water with pressure, lack of staffing
Don't talk about his trips out of state on city payroll
Don't talk about camera crime center (millions $) or credible messengers
Don't talk about his sister's $ windfalls
Don't talk about potholes, sewer discharges, flood erosion
Don't talk about the zoo

It will be more lies for the gullible sheeple of Jackistan. He will bad mouth the council and bloviate how he is taking this to the highest court.

Y'all can easily tell when Chowke be lying; his lips are moving, right?

That “contribution” from Richard’s must have been substantial.

Chowke - "I know what's best for me .. uh ... for this city! Trust me, or else!"

We had 25 years of perfect service from Waste Management where we live. One day sometime in the remote past they didn't make it because of severe (frozen) weather.

Now we have these idiots (Richards) and they have been late or non-existent on two or three pickups in less than three months of service.

The news last night said huge areas of Jackson were not served this past week because one of the service workers from Richard's had heat exhaustion. What a lousy excuse and one that Waste Management never had in over twenty five years.

Rates are up and service has crumbled. How can the mayor be happy with that?

What the Council needs to do is approve the Richards contract. They pick up my garbage every day they are supposed to, just like WM did. Look, somebody has to pick up our garbage. It is obvious Mayor Lumumba will never proffer to the Council a contract with WM.

Approve the damn contract and end this silliness. I see the Richards contract is on the agenda for today’s Council meeting.

The man can't get it in his thick head that THERE IS NO GARBAGE CONTRACT !

Who gets him first, the LA mob, the police or the guys in the white coats?

Except the City Council formally notified RD it would not pay for any work done BEFORE RD started working.

8:50am
Lil Choke, our marxist mayor, made himself and Richard's enemies of the City plus Jackson City Council has to maintain legal protocol and keep fake mayor on a short leash or corruption will triple. A new RFP is necessary to proceed.

I remember a few years ago we had weeks of 100 degree weather and Waste Management never missed a day...ever. I'd love to know why hizzoner is so obsessed with Richards

As an aside on Richards Disposal for years with WM I had 0 issues with damage to my cans. After Richards took over it looks like a bear mauled my cans, my metal can is currently smashed into an oval with a lid bent beyond repair courtesy of Richards Disposal...

8:50 I mowed your lawn yesterday. I will stop by for the money later today.

9:20 LMFAO

Richards has picked my garbage in south Jackson with no problem. Just please just get done.

Just curious - where is Richards storing their garbage trucks now? I know several weeks ago they were told to park the trucks somewhere other than Hawkins field. I haven't heard a peep about where, or if, they have re-located since then.

Mayor needs to issue a new RFP for 2x per week trash pickup with no humongous carts. Then he needs to present the lowest and best bid to the council for approval.

Trying to ram through a more expensive bid with crappy service is WRONG.
Trying to make a contractor work for free is WRONG.
Trying to force the council to pay someone who has no contract is WRONG and probably illegal for them to do.
Continually creating situations where citizen’s trash isn’t picked up is WRONG.
Don’t even THINK about approving a lowball bid from Richard’s and then trying to give them a change order for more $$ afterwards!!

Mayor needs to follow the fucking rules and DO HIS JOB!!!

Presser postponed. Prince Chowke couldn't handle the truth as presented on this blog.

Scheduling conflict with the Uncle Bennie Insurrection Exposition made for TV programming. Please stand by.....

@11:10
Mayor Lumumba doesn’t read or give a damn about this little racist gossip blog. He receives nothing but respect and praise from national publications such as Bloomberg.

I'll bite. How exactly is this a gossip blog?

You also left out NPR, the Washington Post, New York Times, Politico, and CNN.

@KF
Because you pick on targets of color with your personal vendetta.

@12:15

Just like Lumumba, openly and unashamedly lying.

Lumumba directly referenced this blog just a few weeks ago because he doesn't like the truth of things to see light.

Secondly, he lies and gets praise (no respect) from national publications? At the expense of his constituents, no less, and you want to celebrate that?

Clown World

@12:28

If you'll remember, he's not exactly been kind to a certain white lady who allegedly occupies the Attorney General's office (sometimes).

Go whine somewhere else.

12:15, lol at your comment, as if anyone at Bloomberg has clue about anything to do with the mayor other than what his PR people tell them.

Has Richards Disposal been paid anything yet for the work done? If not, why exactly are they picking up garbage?

@1:09
Oh it is very clear that Kingfish is also a misogynist

1:20pm
Little Richard's has been deceived by our punk mayor, a professional hornswoggler, who, without Council approval, gave the trash company a "proceed" letter of approval, which letter could be Lil Choke's choker.

you pick on targets of color with your personal vendetta.

Let me tell you something, 12:28! I live in Jackson! If you live here you know nearly ALL the citizens of Jackson are people of color!

I've been without clean water for 2 weeks AGAIN!
I can't tell IF or WHEN my fucking trash will be picked up since the mayor started his mess!
Call 911 and no one answers!
Roads not driveable!
Raw sewage everywhere!
Trash everywhere!
Criminals everywhere!!!

This is the worst fucking mayor in the entire country!! I hope to God SOMEONE picks on him!

Stop licking that fool's shoes, he don't give a shit about any of us - colored or not!

He promised to TRANSFORM THIS CITY! Well congratulations! Turned it into a fucking ghetto in a few years flat!!!

I HOPE THE MAYOR IS READING THIS!! MAYOR YOU NEED TO RESIGN!!!

If y'all aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

Posting on here is often informative, but it won't fix a damn thing. Y'all will need to get organized and protest at city hal, lean on the lame media, maybe buy billboard space, but posting here shows what cowards y'all are.

@1:44pm
Gotta admire your passion, now find us a respectable, practical candidate to vote for mayor.

"Targets of color" or "persons of color" are terms that usurp and hijack the political agency of other non-whites, except the despised Asians and Indians, but especially Latinos, by Democrat race mongers in an effort to make their voices and opinions appear as representing a larger constituency than they actually (may)represent.

No other races or colors acceded to be represented in this way.

... but posting here shows what cowards y'all are.

No it doesn't. Bullshit.

Crowd hollering for the Council to just move on and allow Lumumba to focus on the water problems obviously don't realize they are actually condemning his ability to actually do the job. Alluding he can only focus on one thing at a time only reinforces the accepted understanding that he is incompetent.

Mayor needs to issue a new RFP for 2x per week trash pickup with no humongous carts. Then he needs to present the lowest and best bid to the council for approval.

Most recent RFP already covered this mode of service. No new RFP needed. Please catch up.

The only way sting on this page is cowardly is if you are one of the majority who posts under "anonymous". I don't.

What the heck happened at the so-called city council meeting? It was over in 5 minutes!

"If y'all aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

Oh yeah?
Hold my beer...

RELEASE THE BALLOONS!!

Can any of the race baiters on this blog tell me how it is racist for seven people on the City Council to oppose this black mayor when five of the members are black? Especially when one of the two whites on the City Council the mayor's lap dog?

@12:28...I see Chumpwe or his sista has joined the convo.....

So, what's next? How long before the mayor speaks up? Will Richard's continue collecting trash without being paid?
