Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba filed a notice of appeal with the Mississippi Supreme Court today. Special Chancellor Larry Roberts ruled the Mayor can not veto a "no vote" of the City Council in July. However, Hizzoner wants a rematch so here we go.

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.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

Just a stall. He isn't interesting in solutions, only anarchy.
Shouldn't he be...busy doing something else right now?
He has to pay for this, correct?
The mayor sent a "Notice To Proceed" to vendor RD whose proposal was wholly rejected by the City Council four times. As an act of utter desperation the Mayor now applies to MS Supreme Court to save him from being personally liable for RD's garbage collection and other fees, which he clearly is.
Only the lawyers win this one. Giant waste of tax money.
11:52 for the win!! Other comments a close second. This thing is DOA, save for the MSSC wanting to spank the mayor harder.
He is getting panicky about the possibility of RD vetoing his knee caps, right?
I am not an attorney, have zero concept of how to formulate a contract, and I use legal zoom when I need something taken care of. In my meager knowledge of the law, I could have advised RD not to initiate services until SOMEONE WITH SOME AUTHORITY over the checkbook, said hey guy..... we'll pay you, no problem!! Just pick up our refuse.......we got you.
But these folks closing deals with a handshake at a 150-dollar steak dinner at Shapley's apparently see the world differently than I do.
I'm 66 years old, Lived in Jackson for 45 years, now I live in Rankin County, I'm so HAPPY & GLAD I moved out of Jackson 21 years ago!!!!!! This has to be the DUMBEST MAYOR in the HISTORY OF JACKSON, MS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just when I thought he couldn't get any more stupid....
Hope the Jackson residents enjoy paying the "stupid tax" for electing this moron.
You guys could have elected an ear of corn and incurred less damage and more prosperity.
Hopefully, Biden's administration will, sooner than later, pick Baby Chok to fill some post with his administration where he can't fuck anything up, just like Obama did with Greenville mayor Heather McTeer. Obama's administration stuck her in some EPA position, and cleared the way for someone halfway competent.
"The best servants of the people, like the best valets, must whisper unpleasant truths in the master's ear. It is the court fool, not the foolish courtier, whom the king can least afford to lose." Walter Lippmann
Clown show, with a ring master who loves the sound of his own voice and that of ignorant sycophants. Sad.
Cut your losses, Chuckles, and start fixing problems, not posturing, race baiting, and blathering.
This is a poor attempt to delay his knee-capping by showing RD that they will get paid.
@12:07,
It stinks to high heaven, doesn't it? Any company willing to do perform those services is not a legitimate company.
Wasn't Mair Chowke just recently bloviating and waving arms, right, at his recent press conference when talking about the garbage and going back to WM being an issue due to legal costs? What up with THAT?!
When this is all finished (if ever) would love to know the total legal fees for the City and for the City Council. Crazy amount of time & taxpayer money wasted with no improvement.
“Talking loud and saying nothing” - James Brown
Didn't the Council pass a resolution requiring the Mayor to pay for the appeal out of his own pocket?
“You [mayor] haven’t done nothing” - Stevie Wonder.
This might get entertaining yet.
I think @12:05 and @12:33 may be correct. Chokwe is fighting awful hard for a company that has a track record such as this one.
I would love for some of Chokwe's supporters on here to list one basic city service that has improved under his leadership.
@12:34pm Cannot agree more. If any due diligence were actually done on a legitimate enterprise, they might have found out that RD was already in hot water in New Orleans, and probably on their way out.
When two desperate entities desperately try to squeeze some influence and money out of each other - it never ends well.
Doesn't Rule 4 require that it be filed with 30 days of the order?
July 15, date of order. This was filed August 26th. 42 days apart.
Looks like settlement talks are going nowhere, to no one's surprise.
@126 - yes, but the rules don't apply to Chockwe and his clan. They follow their own rules and expect others to not complain.
How stupid do you have to be to even pretend that you thought that you could veto something not approved? This is a really good place for the State Auditor to dig in and figure out how a mayor can be so invested in one firm for services that he completely disregards some really basic things to keep from telling them no.
Imagine if the mayor put as much time into competent governing as he does his own appearance
He needs to STOP!
And SOMEBODY needs to pay Richards as a contract vendor as they have provided a needed service. The SOMEBODY needs to rework the WM contract and re-hire them if they will have us!
Bye Felecia: appellate rule 4: in a civil or criminal case in which an appeal or cross-appeal is permitted by law as of right from a trial court to the Supreme Court, the notice of appeal required by Rule 3 shall be filed with the clerk of the trial court within 30 days after the date of entry of the judgment or order appealed from.
The problem is, stupid folks don't know they are stupid and their stupidity does not have limits.
Despite the clear mis-match between the council's lawyers and gumflapper's lawyers, the appeal is not untimely. Gumflapper's lawyers filed post-judgment motions with Judge Roberts and those post-judgment motions tolled the running of the appeal period until ruled upon by Judge Roberts. He ruled on the post-judgment motions on August 1, so the thirty day appeal time started running on August 1.
Dunning-Kruger effect.
How does one say “I’m stupid” w/o actually saying I’m stupid?
#cantmakealivingasalwyer
YOU CAN’T TRIPLE STAMP A DOUBLE STAMP!
At this point if COJ pays RD for anything, wouldn't that show money changing hands thus a contract.
Where is the Mayor getting August 1st? The order was filed on the 15th of July.... meaning he's waited too long to appeal.
The only thing 'stupider' than this mayor is a blog that has nine ongoing threads about the stupid mayor relative to garbage and six ongoing threads about the stupid mayor relative to flood water.
We are fuckin' AWASH in garbage and stink-water!
3:56 PM
No. Do you even know what a contract is?
Surely there is some way to remove him from office. Did I actually read somewhere that a raise in property tax is being proposed? Some of the citizens of Jackson just can't afford to move out. Where is the money coming from to keep the lawsuits going? He SHOULD be paying his own legal fees and he should step down. Jackson has become a jail... Our lack of leadership has run Jackson into the ground. So sad!
In my dreams Prognostication:
1. $2M judgement against Lil Choke to pay RD,
2. RD again competes with WM for Jackson garbage pickup RFP,
3. State run Engineering study to rebuild/ repair Jxn water system per State directive submitted to Army COE for execution.
4. Lil Choke resigns in shame as he cannot get fingers on the billions flowing from feds to the fix.
5:17 - You're right. Only in your dreams.
The mayah, is bound and determined to have his way. It matters not the hostility he is creating between his office and the city council.
He is a very poor example for good leadership.
To 12:15 and the rest of you slow thinkers. I believe this site is made up of a HUGE contingency of Republicans, so please quit spewing your uneducated bull of who WE elected. We're only 10 - 15% of the Jackson population.
2:55, agree and the more hard headed they seem to be.
