Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba is holding a press briefing right now. It is live-streamed below.
* The 311 app is available for download. The app is called Jackson311. Photos of items such as potholes or overgrown lot can be uploaded into the app. The messages will go directly to the appropriate department.
* Ice Cream Safari is coming up. $10 for kids 3-12 and $12 for 13 and up. The event supports the Jackson Zoo.
* June 28 is Zippity Zoo Day at the Jackson Zoo. $5 for 2-12, $8 for 13 and up.
* The Mayor addressed downtown parking. Hizzoner said some residents were not happy with the two hour limits on the parking. The restriction will disappear on July 1 although those parking will have to pay for each hour. Monthly parking is available for $65. Visit Parkjackson.com. More kiosks will be installed.
The media only asked one question and it was about the 311 app.

"The messages will go directly to the appropriate department." And not a damn thing will be done.
14 more days! Tick tock loser.
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah! Song of the South day at the zoo! How funny!
I need to report a major BS spill happening at City Hall.
It's really big!
Happening now!
311 wants to know when I first noticed the leak? They want to know if I reached out to Sister R first? WTF!
June 30th will be 'Get the Hell Outta Here Antard Day'.
It will be a day long celebration marking the end of eight years of the most incompetent Mayor in Jackson's history, and arguably one of the most incompetent in the history of Mississippi.
In the words of the great Martin Luther King:
“Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are free from the corrupt Lumumba grift machine at last.”
For shame, Antar.
And it's taken this long for something like that to roll out? Come on....
Nobody does BS more better than Antard.
NOBODY!
Awww poor Antard seemed a little hurt that media wasn’t swooning over him like usual and only asked 1 question. Hey dummy, it’s because you’re a lame duck and no one cares about your lame attempts at relevance in your final days, loser. Get the hell out of City Hall and take Sister Rukia, Dr Safari O. from Ridgeland, and MFP with you.
Lil Choke is on a taint-the-jury-pool tour now, all his ongoing obfuscatory preverications will be to con sympathy out of those who may sit to decide his prison time. I truly admired his low down shamelessness recently when he said he had released his resentment of Jackson and therefore Jackson should release their resentment of him, "just let it go", he counseled.
I called and left messages on the 311 number last week on 6/9/25, 6/11/25, and 6/12/25. At no point have they called me back or handled the issue. The issue is the "Prepare to Stop when Flashing' sign on Hwy 18 and Siwell has been knocked and been that way for three weeks and no one has put it back up. This in addition to the other sign like it not working for months.
Surprise surprise surprise!
Give it up Shock-Way. It’s over.
Did you seriously believe they would actually do anything? The 311 effort is only there to create an appearance of action. It is just a fancy entrance to the do-nothing black hole. No different than Lumumba pretending to be a Mayor.
Chowke's legacy "I destroyed the city but redeemed myself with a 311 app. Right?"
Why is he acting like Jackson 311 is something new? We've had it for years, although I guess it was more of a website than an app. I've used it many times and had surprisingly decent response times. DO NOT waste your time calling anyone on the phone. There will be no record of you calling which means no one will do shit. Use 311 to enter the info and pictures directly into the system and it will be logged and put in the queu. Unless things have changed, you can also see the other service requests that have been submitted.
I'm sure Virgi and Grace are impressed.
Seriously...Why does this mayoral administration change take place on July 1st. Is that always the case with mayoral election changes? I thought such changes took place just like County elective office changes.
This is not a new app. It’s the same app we have always had. It’s just been broken/not updated for 2+ years. I redownloaded it today and was able to pull up all my old requests and submit two new ones. This is a basic city service that does not warrant a press conference, geez.
So Chuckie made no effort to use this 311 tool in his 8 years but he is "fixing" it and launching it now?
Almost like...he enjoyed being able to lie and say he was unaware of potholes and he knew his mismanaged depts would not respond anyway.
But he wants Hohrn to be held to a standard he knew he could not handle.
Antar hated accountability and transparency almost as much as he hated Caucasians.
Speaking of the Zoo i wonder if Mr. Horhn going to come up with something or keep flushing money down the drain location is everything i don't care how we put it even the residents around there don't support it only special events bring in rev we can't sustain the "JOINT"(Horhn use this term much)
off special events. The space is actually "Archaic" (Another Horhn term used much) & need to be moved.
Speaking of the Zoo i wonder if Mr. Horhn going to come up with something or keep flushing money down the drain ...
Based on his campaign comments expect more flushing:
"Can the zoo stay where it is? Possibly," Horhn said. "But the answer to the question is we don't know. And the reason we don't know is because we haven't done a comprehensive plan. We need to do a market value study of the entire city, not just the zoo, so we know where we're going, what our best opportunities are and what our deficiencies might be."
A f'ing "market value study" of the entire city before you can address the zoo?
ROFLMAO
He also lied in this presser about the new parking meters. They only take cards and coins. NOT YOUR DOLLAR BILLS !!!! WAPT ect...should be ashamed for letting this slide. It's ascam.
Does anyone know when his federal trial starts??
Will we find out more information, or has it all been released already to the public.?
I hope they do not let this slip through the cracks.
I want to know if the allegations against Lumumba are true.
