Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba is holding his weekly press conference right now. The presser is streamed below.
* Visit Jackson will hold "601JXN Day" June 1-June 4. More information at Visit Jackson website.
* Zippty Zoo Day will take place at the Jackson Zoo this Saturday from 11 - 2.
* Mayor Lumumba introduced interim Police Chief Joseph Wade. Chief Wade said he is excited "to be a change-maker in the police department." He said his priorities are addressing violent crimes, recruitment & retention of police officers, and youth crime prevention. He said he looked forward to "bouncing his many, many, many ideas off of the Mayor." Mayor Lumumba said he is going to "set targets" for fighting crime and communicate them to the public. Hmmm... does that mean he will stop hiding crime stats?
* Hizzoner addressed the lighting project on Highway 18. He said the highway "as much of Jackson" is too dark." The city will install improved lighting on "TV Road on down." The city is awaiting MDOT approval for the project.
* Ross Adams asked how many officers are "on the force." Chief Wade said there are 223 police officers. 160 officers are assigned to patrol.

what is he wearing. did he forget to put on his dress shirt he looks like a fool
Right? Right? Right?
A two parent family with a working dad leading his family is the best intervention you can have.
He looks like he just rolled out of bed. Trashy
My mother, bless her heart and may she rest in eternal peace, always gave me a 3-pack of nice JC Penney t-shirts for Christmas.
But I never wore or owned a v-neck t-shirt, and if I had, I would never have worn it to a meeting or community event other than maybe a mud race or catfish fry if I were cooking.
160 officers on patrol! Ha! He wishes. He should've asked how many are actually on patrol, and not riding a desk because they were too proactive. Let's not also forget some of the stellar hires that JPD has made in the last couple of years. 20% or so of the actual 85 on the streets might be reputable officers.
Looks hungover. wearing a t-shirt with a coat. At least he's got the hankie in the pocket. What a joke. If we are going to celebrate all things Jackson, I think he only needs about an hour on 6/1 to do that. Probably a lunch event at best.
Will there be a presser when another 20% quit? Seriously, what IS his thought process regarding police department staffing?
A closeup might show food stains on that undershirt and/or little round burn holes.
As unprofessional as he looks, he's still better dressed than Fetterman.
1:11, say you’re a has-been boomer, without saying that you’re a has-been boomer.
Your comment was an excellent start.
4:53 chokeway is the mayor of the capitol city of our state and he rolled up to a press conference looking like he just left the M-Bar after a looooong night.
1:11 may or may not be a "boomer", but he was right. I've never seen Lumumba so unkempt.
Somethings off.
So many insensitive comments. It's very obvious that the Mayor was robbed on his way to the presser, and they snatched his nice tweed shirt. People we need understanding please !!
What other Mayor in state has to have weekly press conferences? It’s because they are actually doing things.
His outsides are starting to reflect his insides. Rotten to the core.
The highlight of his week is being introduced for his silly press conferences.
Say no to drugs!
“ say you’re a has-been boomer, without saying that you’re a has-been boomer.” well, to be a “has been” means, they once were. That's probably something you will never experience.
Call me. Call me. Call me any, any, any time. Call me. I go straight to Blondie. Can’t help it. Call me.
Bumble looks radical!
The mayor still smokin dat dope - can it be even more obvious?
Yep, I agree with the observations about his t-shirt at today's presser.
Hell ... even back in 2017... he looked more professional when he was wearing one of his J C Penny suits.
FU€k this mayor… I am so sick of his lying ass voice and his face
I can assure you they didn't come from JC Penny.
Hey Mayor, your NOLA drug dealer buddies didn’t pick up my garbage today even though they managed to run their M Bar commercial on TV. Can you check on that?
Half-asleep, hungover, stoned, all three? Mondays can be rough. But when you’re announcing that installation of streetlights on the Highway 80 corridor may actually take place some day, you gotta show up so you can at least shift blame henceforth to MDOT. That is an absolute need to know announcement.
Wearing a tie to play mayor is tough to do if one is only a poseur regardless.
Not his fault, all the dry cleaners in Jackghanistan be closed.
9:50 must've heard the same thing I did - that Richard's employees are dealing drugs off their trucks in certain neighborhoods. That's what a Midtown resident told me.
