Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba is holding his regular press conference at the RSVP Ice House right now. The presser is live-streamed below.
* The Mayor welcomed everyone at the RSVP Ice House.
* Mayor Lumumba asked for local businesses and restaurants to promote themselves at the upcoming State of the City address. Email media@jacksonms.gov if interested.
* National Night Out is October 1.
* Thalia Mara Hall update. The chiller was delivered and will be tested today. Hizzoner said the city fire department last inspected the auditorium in 2022. Repairs will be made when the auditorium is safe to enter again.
Deputy Fire Chief Elliot Holmes said there was "one discrepancy." He said the city has a shortage of fire inspectors. He planned to conduct an inspection was the mold remediation project was complete. He said many of the violations found during the State Fire Marshal's inspection could have occurred after the 2022 inspection. The fire department will be present when the repairs take place.
* Ward 2 City Council absentee voting is taking place right now for the upcoming election.
* WLBT's Anthony Warren asked if the Mayor was considering increasing the ticket surcharge to pay for future repairs. The Mayor declined to answer, saying he wanted to meet with more people before making any recommendations.
* Warren asked the city's strategy for the Smith-Wills fight. The Mayor declined to provide the strategy but promised "to defend our interests."

The city has a shortage of -------------- (fill in the blank). Jackson must be placed into receivership!

SURPRISE! /s
"Defend our Interests" aka keep the palm grease flowing.
No shortage of bullshit though.
Defend “our” interest? Hey, he may not be lying here. If by “our” he means himself and the guy leasing the stadium, he’s probably not lying.
Let's back up and define 'our'. Everybody knows what that's code for. Our is the opposite of Them.
Serious question. What makes this mayor think he’s worthy of having a weekly press conference? He stands up every week with zero solutions, all blame goes to someone else, and then pats himself on the back.
Time for him to go.
"Mayor...regular briefing..."
A regular de-pants-ing might be a good idea. OTOH, I'm not sure whether he is ever actually wearing any or it's just a perception of clothes.
Thalia Mara is never going to open again. One more loss added to the list.
When will Lil Choke, who makes Jxn woke and broke, open an exhibit at his zoo for Canada Geese, possums, raccoons, stray dogs?
Chowke needs to have a bloviating channel on YouTube. You know he is lying if his lips are moving, but his resident "useful idiots" believe every word, just like Marx intended.

This reads as we will give you a plug if you give us free food and drinks and a space for me to gaslight our constituents.
The COJ has 17 lawyers and no engineers.
