Jackson Jambalaya

This garbage does NOT pass the smell test.

The Mayor is not even trying to hide his shady...lol!

The mayor of Jackson is practicing corruption in broad daylight.

Freed from the Emmerich agenda Anthony Warren is doing some good work and putting C.J. to shame.

What happened in the special council meeting today? I see we have another one tomorrow- agenda -
1. ORDER OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI RESCINDING
THE MAYOR’S SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 EXECUTIVE ORDER INVOKING A
LOCAL EMERGENCY FOR THE CITY OF JACKSON,
MISSISSIPPI. (JACKSON CITY COUNCIL)
2. ORDER AUTHORIZING THE JACKSON CITY COUNCIL TO RETAIN
BRADLEY ARANT BOULT CUMMINGS LLP AS CONFLICTS COUNCIL.
(JACKSON CITY COUNCIL)

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

Little boy Chok just can't stand to play by the rules.

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

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!!

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.

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.

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.

Angelique Lee has sold her soul. She is a40.00 vote.

@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

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.

Get your popcorn ready for 1:00 today.

Start dumping garbage at labamba's office. Simple. Start small.

Leave garbage at his office. Start small.

Odds on a TRO?

TRO? Help please

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.

Temporary Restraining Order

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
