Little Lord Lumumba was wanting WM to submit a one year bid last minute since his greased palm deal was falling apart after the board voted it down. He was going to kick the proverbial can down the road for one more year then get his boys in during the next year. Very seldom are maintenance contracts such as City of Jackson garbage collection one year jobs. If WM wanted to turn the city lose, this would be the time to do it and let it all fall on Antar and let the egg hit him in the face and WM chunk deuces.

So why won't the mayor accept this proposal of $16.72/month and let the council vote on it.

So all that bunk about the employees is just chum in the water as is the phone supposedly ringing off the hook with complaints. Here's hoping Waste Management takes Lumumba to court.

This is very blatant and inept negotiations from our dear mayor, but those who vote for the current mayor wouldn't understand anything wrong with this.

Antard wants to stretch this out for at least a year so he can give the contract to FCC. Let's see if Virgi supports breaking the law. The emergency is a total ruse.

It’s always garbage time in Jackson.

Why doesn't he just say he needs a bribe?

Baby chowke's hands are lubricated with FCC grease.

Do you know how to tell if baby chowke is lying? His lips be moving.

Why hasn’t Shad come down on Jackson? Of all the crooks in these small rinky dink cities you’re telling me he can’t find one in the city of Jackson? Or is he too afraid of being called a racist?

Socrates Garrett will pick up trash starting Oct. 1 until the mayor can get the votes for the company he picked.

LOL pretty safe to say the city attorney's shitty legal interpretation is not going to win the day

CJ reports tonight on WLBT that Chowke's new temporary garbage outfit is run by drum roll please........wait for it.......Socrates Garrett! Whodathunkit?!

Anonymous said...

This is absolutely unreal. Obviously doing anything he can to help out his buddy who donated the $10k, and engaged in open corruption.

Where is Shad White? Paging Shad White. Come poke around and I bet there is much worse than what we know going on.

Kudos to the city council for doing their job and not going along with this GARBAGE.

Socrates Garrett seems to have a lonnnng history of getting taxpayer money..
Now he may get a garbage contract with NO garbage trucks and NO employees!!

What does the Mayor have on Virgi?
Promises? Pictures? Tapes?
What has happened to her?
Thank goodness for Kenny Stokes! Never thought I would say that!’
Hell must be freezing over!!

fed up in Jackson said...

well, the mayor has been proven a liar, AGAIN, and Virgi Lindsey is nothing short of a idiot, and I hope she is enjoying the payout b/c she sure is not representing her constituents......but this is what you get when a mayor gets re-elected with 13k votes.

Krusatyr said...

The Ghetto King wants to give Socrates Garret a one year trash contract? Socrates in the past has not been a boy scout and was a big contributor to the last ridiculous mayor.

WM is a reliable outfit which can pick up my trash twice a week for a reasonable price, as they did for many years.

Socrates Garret is a hustler.

Elliott Ness said...

So Socrates was involved in the Siemens/McNeilR water meter fiasco and he gets rewarded by getting the trash deal??? He was even named in the lawsuit that chockwe anturd filed to recoup the $90M. The council better do their job or they all get voted out.

@7:06 My only conclusion is that NE Jackson must love the status quo since they couldn't come up with 13,001 votes. Those people must love picking the kids up from Prep and JA, waving at the bums on Lakeland by Saint D, and feeling the roads destroy the value of their previously nice vehicles.

Just a big ole mess!

I wish everyone would back off about Socrates.

He's the Sir Richard Branson of Jackson/Hinds ... don't cha know.

But that goofy Virgi is fair game.

Note to self: Purchase 10,000 shares of grease stock in the morning as it seems to be a big mover in Jackistan.

Someone needs to tell the mayor about Dewey Cheatem and Howe LLP. I hear they have a new Gubmint Contarcting praktice area, the guy heads it up wrote a legal paper on "Implementing The Kush Areas, How To Make All That Real".

Mayor gets them to handle his garbage and next thing you know it's all

Anonymous said...

So Socrates is the new garbage man in the bold new city? I guess we can give credit to Chokwe's administration for being transparent.

Where is the State??? Well, we are 50th on most good metrics and 1st on bad ones. Not a surprise the MS state officials do nothing.

I'm no masochist so I no longer live there, but I hope my friends in NE Jackson all take their garbage bags to Choke's driveway each week.

@8:54 AM - great idea. Pile those garbage bags up against his security gate. A few old couches and refrigerators would be a nice touch.

More days than not there is a JPD officer stationed behind Covenant Presbyterian there specifically to protect Lumumba's house directly across the street. The Emperor Mayor doesn't want you to see the officer (and consider this abuse of JPD resources) while you pass by on Ridgewood so they have the officer parked behind the church.

FACT.

Socrates got the contract to clean up Jackson after the April 2008 tornadoes. Turned around and subcontracted it out to another well-established Louisiana company that did all the work. Melton promised the La. company extra pay to make up for the difference and then reneged. Garrett is a blight on Jackson. I am thoroughly sick of this crap.

Got a quick question. How does the garbage man know what to pick up as garbage? You cannot fit the entire city into a garbage truck.

Anonymous said...

What are the odds Socrates will subcontract this out to FCC?

Anonymous said...

So per Warren's investigation, we would pay $35 to $40 per month rather than $16 or $17....with once a week pick-up by a company with no garbage trucks and questionable past ?? and Lumumba says he is doing right by his constituents... His father, who did more for Jackson in the short time he was mayor than his son has the whole time he has been in office, would be ashamed... Little Chokwe appears to be interested in only his self interests... sad, sad, sad...

"(A proposal recommended by the mayor would have increased costs to $35 to $40 a month and reduced weekly collections to once a week.)"

When it comes to Lumumba the II, two words that always belong in the same sentence are "Jackson" and "garbage"

Whatever happened to all those ventilators Socrates was going to start manufacturing at the start of the Chinese virus ?

Oh well ... now he's in the garbage industry.

KF, Atlanta has had waste contract provided trash cans for over 40 years. They are 96 gallons.
At 5'3" and 103 lbs, I had no trouble rolling a full one to the street. Nor did I have trouble with the task 9 months pregnant or when it snowed.

The same objections were heard before the contract was established. Those opposed called the trash cans " Maynards" for then Mayor Maynard Jackson.

There would be an uproar if you tried to take them away now.

You and those reacting simply because you don't like our current mayor might want to read their contracts... the first and current one ...to see if there are differences . You should also look at the benefits to the city of Atlanta that also had troubles with trash in creeks and the river causing problems before this step was taken.

Sometimes, spending money , saves money in the long run. You know that ,of course.

See if the language of the contract as written is satisfactory. Also, look at the quality difference of the trash cans. I requested from Waste Management and bought their trash can and paid for it myself. It's lasted 30 years unlike my retail somewhat smaller one from a hardware store I bought while living in Madison for 7 years. I replace it 3 times. Whether it's a quality difference or that more care is taken when the management company has to replace what they break is something I don't know.

Association is not causation. Your alluding that all Jackson has been lacking to become litter free is deployment of these cans is absolute and complete lunacy.

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.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug.
