It'a all a conspiracy. Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba blamed this website's coverage of the Smith-Wills Stadium lease on - wait for it - a grand conspiracy. Yup. Move over birtherism and trutherism, we now have us a new one. Watch the video.
Actually, this website didn't even think of digging into the Smith-Wills lease until Hizzoner started raising hell about the lease termination bill that passed the legislature this year.
All yours truly did was read the leases and ask for a list of all payments made by Tim Bennett. JJ discovered the existence of the VA lease, A Councilman who is a finance guy read the coverage and asked what were legitimate questions.
Oh, all CJ Lemasters asked was if the write down to the $500,000 in past due rent to $100,000 was legal. The Mayor never answered the questioned nor stated any facts as he just went into attack mode as he is so want to do when he is questioned.

I've never seen such a grand conspiracy where the patsy has been mind-controlled to make themselves the victim.
his supporters would die in a ditch for him
They also love that Bennett is sticking it to 'the man"
He's caught. Bennett is caught.
Does Mayor Cheap Fake know if the parts came in yet?
Sounds like he expects the city retained Auditor to not actually conduct an audit.
Is this what the marxist mayor singing

You should be flattered KF. You have more power than da Mayah!
Folks You Just Gotta Admit He's Good At What He's Good At!
Maybe Baby Choke was setup? Did someone secretly give the Parking Lot Pimp this mad money without Baby A knowing?
idiot
"We will comply."
Yes, chowke. Yes, you will.
The mayor is black trump. Says anything he wants to say and incapable of speaking the truth and blindly supported by idiots
So can we get some tinfoil hat merch? Keep up the good work!

Luramble WISHES he was Trump. He's a Temu Al Sharpton.
There is a conspiracy, and the co-conspirators are the sycophants that Chowke is surrounded by, including Rukia and her band of thieves.
It is definitely a conspiracy...a conspiracy to make the City officials follow the law and be accountable.
Rukia Kai late on her property taxes again. Who's surprised?
Then we've got Melvin and his missus, at attorney to boot, double collecting on their homestead exemptions which is a big No, No.
No wonder Jackson is BROKE.
"He's a Temu Al Sharpton."
Hahahahahaha, that was good, very good.
Exactly! And he's also a dictator.
C'mon feds. Save Jackson. Indict the nightmare.
12:10, Yes! I have been saying this. Amazing that two polar opposites, older white Republican, young black democrat, have the exact same personality traits and ego.
"whats best for the city of jackson" how about what is legal for the city of jackson?
So, because the last management company got a free ride, that means it's OK for the current contract to be mis-managed?
Mayor, from your comments, you obviously read this website, so here:
The contract required Tim to pay a minimum of $125,000 a year in rent and to have a performance bond which insured that payment. But yet he hasn't made a single one of those payments or anywhere near that amount in 4 years now. Even worse, you didn't make sure he actually got the performance bond he was supposed to get, so the City, which desperately needs money, is now out $500,000.
Then you agreed to reduce his debt to $100,000, a loss of $400,000 to the City and justified it by giving him a credit for the so-called improvements he made, although no one has shown what improvements were made or how much was actually spent. Moreover, as a separate part of the contract, he agreed to make additional improvements of several million dollars, in addition to paying the rent above, so he should not have been given any credit against the $500,000 rent owed.
Simply stated, you just gave away $400,000 that the City very much needs for no good reason. And yes, I would say this even if Tim was white.
Respectfully, your negotiation skills are horrible, absolutely horrible, so let someone else do the negotiating for you from now on.
Looks like ol' CJ is about to run with this story without attribution.
Being a perpetual victim is an easy gig….it’s always someone else’s fault and you are not responsible for yourself…because you’re not capable
So the city of Jackson is so flush with cash that it can excuse rich men from paying $ 1/2 million they agreed to pay, yet still fund all city services?
Chowkie is EXACTLY what he professes to hate. I am learning the demoncrats are masters of projection. Wink and nudge and freebies for rich men, while poor and underserved constituents wonder why they pay the highest taxes in the state yet can't get clean water, or their 911 calls answered, or streetlights that work, or roads that don't cause thousands in damage to their vehicles...
This is disgusting. I will vote for Kim Wade or anyone else who hasn't been participating in this crap (I'm looking at you, council members other than Foote).
I would vote for an old shoe before I would vote for this mayor.
Chokwe just mad he he got umburdened from what has been
Good Lord LeMaster sure is carrying Bennett's water in that interview. Jackson taxpayers are under no obligation to insure his solvency. "Seven figures" worth of Home Depot receipts to prove his spend? BS. Every damn business in Jackson should be provided similar city provided financial relief when their businesses are also struggling. LeMaster needs to take some journo-viagra.
Eh, at least someone finally interviewed Bennett instead of posting one side of the story.
