Trash Talk: Tantrum Time

As the trash continues to pile up in the streets, Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba blamed..... wait for it..... Northeast Jackson for his garbage problems.  Yup.  He said the reason why there is no garbage service is because of Northeast Jackson honkies  despite the fact that Jackson is over 80% black.  Watch for yourself. 




Kingfish note: It's about time he played the race card.  I was starting to wonder what took him so long.  

This is the same management style he used in screwing up the zoo.  He ran out the JZS when they voted to study, not move, just study, moving the zoo. He wouldn't even talk to the management.  He bragged about brining in a company to manage it only to find out the hard way a license was required.  He had to shut down the zoo, something he never ever foresaw, for a year since neither Zooceanarium nor the city had a license.  Then his precious Zooceanarium said, nah, we're not interested, leaving him holding the bag.  

All the Mayor has to do is present the best-scored proposal for twice a week service without garbage carts.  That's it.  Period.  End of story.  He is the one who refuses to do so.  

The City Council has said for 18 months NO DAMN GARBAGE CARTS.  Thus the question to ask is why is the Mayor so hell-bent on making everyone buy a garbage cart from a Detroit company?

KF - excellent, concise summary of how the City go to where we are now. The Princeling manufactured yet another problem for which he has no solution other than inserting his own connections.

Aren't there something like 50,000 trash customers/accounts? If he gets $5/cart kickback from his homies in Detroit...

Then his dope boys steal them and sell them back at a discount...

Yup, just put a clause in the contract that once victory is achieved in the courts that the temporary 1 year contract can end. Sounds simple. But, as we have seen before, he'll string the year out with appeals.

The Mayor has never addressed his obsession with the trash can requirement.
This needs to be addressed by the council. I’ve done public procurement. I would have
been fired on the spot if I was behind this RFP. This RFP favors one company.

I had forgotten all about the Zooceanarium disaster. CAL is hands down the worst, most incompetent mayor we've had in recent memory. Harvey Johnson is a Rhodes scholar compared to him. Even Yarber was pretty good IMO, he just couldn't help himself from skirt chasing. But CAL does understand the potency of crying racism to deflect and minimize any and all criticism and keep the compliant liberal media in his pocket.

You are right, Mayor, that this should not be about race, but yet despite what you say, you are the one who has made this about race. This is about your trying to steer the contract to Richards from Day 1. This is about the majority of the Council and residents not wanting carts, but yet you're refusing to submit the bid with no carts which would probably pass. You forget that 3 of the Council members voting against this (Hartley, Stokes,and Banks) are not from Northeast Jackson. And you forget that the three of them are also BLACK, but yet they too are still voting against Richards. If this has anything to do with race, it's because you said from the very start that you wanted the contract to go to a black-owned company, not Waste Mgmt who you perceived as being a white-owned company, when in fact the majority of the subcontractors of Waste Mgmt were black-owned. You and only you are the only one to have made this about race. My God, you are a sick, sick man.

State's not coming. For saving Jackson's water system, it got trashed in the national media repeatedly, called everything by the Mayor and his "civil rights" allies, and is the subject of an EPA civil rights complaint.

State not coming to help this time. The first instance was mechanical, chemical, and equipment failures. This is a contract dispute. In other words, Jackson leaders going to have to figure this one out for themselves.

This whole thing is getting old. Just build a fence around Jackson and rename it the dump. Things in Jackson will not change much, it was already a dump. The people can continue doing as they have been doing for years, throwing their trash out on the street. Maybe they can start accepting garbage from other cities to make a few bucks. Have the trash trucks do like the citizens of Jackson, just find a street or vacant lot and drop off the trash.

Is he implying that those that live in Northeast Jackson should forget about their own trash issues and go help others that are less fortunate with trash issues? That would go over real well.

The fact of the matter is every crises he has gotten us into, the disproportionally affects the less fortnuate (white or black) who live in this city because they have no other means of paying for such services while the more fortunate (again, white or black) have options because they have the means.

Long and short, HE is the one who is hurting the people that he states he stands for. When will he take responsibility - the water issue wasn't of his making - but this trash clown show is. And he can't take the heat.

2. Admit you know what question is coming next and foreshadow that you have no fucking idea.

3. Prove all of #2.

4. Continue to drone on with your destructive race-bating and gin up even more hatred of the evil white population who make up 18% of the city’s demographic.

5. Rinse. Repeat. And R & R some more. For damn sure, do not stop what you’re doing lest some unsuspecting soul expect you to actually do something like lift a finger or break a sweat.

When Lumumba said he had EVIDENCE in the form of LETTERS given to the council, I just knew there was another shoe about to drop. Sure enough, within seconds, we learn that those LETTERS were written by him. He will never get what Foote, Hartley, and Banks and so many of us have long known — anything written or verbalized by HIM has a built-in bold-faced caveat screaming “BELIEVE THIS AT YOUR OWN PERIL, SUCKERS.”

12:51, It is well within the realm of possibility that the evidence you suggest be offered would be seen by the judge to be all the proof needed to render a decision.

That video, in the eyes of some, will be prima facie evidence of the madness the good Mayor is trying to prevent-the complete lawlessness and disrespect of those White devils living in NE Jackson. After all, "everybody knows that."

We don’t have the manpower.
Because we are not in the garbage business.

We can’t go it alone.
We don’t have the manpower.
We don’t have the resources.
We don’t have a big enough pool from which to recruit qualified employees.
Even though we are in the business of providing clean water, we can’t do it.

We don’t have 4 city employees who could change a lightbulb in City Hall.

10:28, you and KF are 100% correct. This whole fiasco created by the Mayor would end if he would just submit the proposal for 2 day pickup without carts, which is the exact same service Jackson had for at least 10 years prior to this mess.

WLBT, WAPT, and WJTV, not to mention the Clarion Ledger, have done nothing but repeat what the Mayor says or what the Council says. None of them have asked just a few simple, yet very important and probably the most important, questions:

-Mr Mayor, the majority of the City Council has repeatedly said they don't want the proposal with carts and have repeatedly rejected the proposal with carts. So whey won't you submit them a proposal without carts ? (That, by the way is the exact same service the City had for the past 10 years, without carts, and which seemed to have been working just fine.)

-Mr Mayor, you have repeatedly said the only reason you keep repeatedly submitting the Richards proposal is because you want the cheapest service. But yet, the cheapest service is the 2 day pick with no carts, which is $100,000 less per month and $1,200,000 less per year than the proposal with carts you keep submitting over and over again. (And for the past 10 years Jackson has not had carts as a part of its garbage plan.) So why will you not submit the cheapest proposal with 2 day pick and no carts ?


-Mr Mayor, why are you blaming this mess on Northeast Jackson ? It's not just northeast Jackson that doesn't support your 2 day with carts proposal from Richards. 80-85 % of the City is African American. 5 of the 7 Council members are black, and only 2 are white. Only one white member is voting against your proposal and one for it. 3 of the members voting against it are black. In fact 3 of those 5 who are voting against it are black, which means the majority of those against the Richards deal are black, and they represent residents who don't live in northeast Jackson. Why are you blaming northeast Jackson ? And why aren't you blaming the residents in Mr Hartley's, Mr Banks', and Mr Stokes' wards ?

-Mr Mayor, are you as racist and stupid and crooked as you truly look ?

Please WLBT, WJTV, and WAPT, and you too Clarion Ledger, do some actual investigative reporting and ask some relevant questions to dig deeper into the issue, rather than taking the easy route and only repeating what you're told. My Lord how weak and useless the media has gotten.

I can’t exactly put my finger on how to articulate this, but I’m getting the distinct sense that Lumumba just drove a few nails in his own coffin by relying so heavily on “the council never asked for a new RFP; they just wanted to look at the next vendor; go back to your stations and run the tape and you’ll see.” Something’s amiss or missing, something like well, mayor, wouldn’t a reasonably prudent mayor do whatever he had the authority/skill/power to do to explain all options to the council, show them the errors in their thinking, and put himself in position to fulfill his duties as mayor over the course of 18 months instead of doing nothing until 48 hours prior to expiration of the garbage vendor’s contract?

10:07 has it dead-on. Here's a proposed letter to Baby Chok: "Mr. Mayor, if NE Jackson is a thorn in Jackson's side, by all means, please join with us as we endeavor to detach ourselves from the rest of Jackson. We'll start at the intersection of Lakeland and Old Canton Road, and we'll take everything north of Lakeland and east of Old Canton, but just to be fair, we'll leave you with Belhaven, since most of those residents voted for you anyway.) At that point, we'll wish y'all the best of luck. Hope Bennie and Joe will step in and replace the lost revenue.....although to hear you speak, you really believe all of the City's problems would be gone IF we were to leave. Oh, and before we forget, it really would be strangely hypocritical for you to continue to live in your current location, so please let us know how quickly you can relocate."

Thanks for the note Kingfish. I have suspected this all along but have not seen it spelled out. I have read all these posts and wondered why no one was asking why the mayor did not propose the cheapest alternative with Richards. I suspect one pick up day with no carts was even cheaper.

Don’t leave Belhaven out of this dream city of LeFleur’s Bluff.

Guest won over 50 percent in the most recent midterm election in one of the two precincts in Belhaven (the east side). I never saw the results from the west side. The west side was one of those where they came in a day or so late. If yard signs are any indicator then the west side where the results are unavailable to my knowledge is more conservative.

Anonymous said...

@2:40 - Love it! He can just trade houses with me in Belhaven since I'm sure he is eager to leave such a troublesome area of the city... seems like a win/win to me.

If he really wants to get into who to blame for this whole mess, I'd love to know the portion of sanitation fees that are sitting out there uncollected due to residents either not receiving or not paying their water bill. Or does he even know?

The fact that it's taking so long to figure out how much of our sanitation fees ($37/month) go towards the actual cost of trash collection in order to figure out how much they can "reimburse" us is just sad. That information should be readily available and shouldn't take weeks to calculate. I mean you've got 15 lawyers on the payroll... ask one of them to help.

House count per the Richards proposed emergency contract was 53,869 * $37/month = $1,993,153 that *should* be coming in each month for sanitation fees. Was he really trying to tell us that they need over half of that for "other" costs each month?? Or are you just still really bad at collecting what you are owed? Mr. Transparency loves to talk about how we couldn't afford WM's increased fees but skirts around the inconvenient truth!

Anonymous said...

I've seen a lot of comments suggesting the best-ranked cartless option was cheaper than the carts option. That's not correct. The RDI "with cart" bid was $756,000 per month. The WM (best ranked) cartless option was $858,000 per month. I am no fan of the mayor and I side with the council members who refuse to cave to the mayor's bully tactics. But I can see how the mayor could look at the columns and think, "$100,000 cheaper per month plus free city-branded garbage cans on every street in the city? No brainer." The problem is that price isn't everything and there's probably a very good reason why that deal seems too good to be true.

What I don't understand is why this is a ditch the mayor is willing to die in. He waited too long to go to the next vendor because they won't honor the proposals anymore. Just do a new RFP already! Whatever marginal price increases result from that aren't going to outweigh the cost of these emergency contracts, protracted litigation, and MDEQ fines, to say nothing of the frustration and inconvenience to the citizens.

That’s going to come back to bite Antar. Not only was it egregiously hypocritical, untrue, and uncalled for, it was a rank, hardcore racism that could never be mistaken for anything else. That he said it with such hatred and conviction to his 86% black, 14% white constituency should shock the conscience of every last one of us.

Honest, responsible, hardworking people know the difference between a PLAN and a TRICK UP YOUR SLEEVE. When this mayor says, “THERE IS NO TRICK UP MY THE SLEEVE TO PICK UP YOUR GARBAGE,” take heed. It doesn’t mean he is all out of slick maneuvers/tricks up his sleeve. It means he had ZERO plan B, ZERO contingencies in place, and ZERO mitigation strategies for the ABRUPT CESSATION of garbage collection in a he City of Jackson. It means he never considered the possibility of their being an abrupt cessation of garbage collection. It means that he either failed to foresee what was both IMMINENTLY AND REASONABLY FORESEEABLE or he didn’t give a damn.

Because he did indeed have another trick up his sleeve. One day after the City Council no voted Richards Disposal for the 7th time, the mayor reached up his sleeve and pulled out a trick. He filed a MOTION TO STAY Monday’s hearing in City Council of Jackson versus Lumumba. On what grounds? That the City Council is represented by the City Attorney and has no legal authority to hire independent outside counsel UNLESS the City Attorney has a conflict of interest or a bias toward the mayor.

In other words, the City Attorney who just filed a Motion to Stay the City Council’s proceeding on behalf of the mayor has no bias towards the mayor.

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.
