A Garbage Pickup in Every Pot

 Mr. Stokes has a few ideas as to what to do about sanitation fees. 


 

The Ward 3 Councilman is placing this item on the agenda for the next City Council meeting.

And he was doing so well and gaining a bit of steam. Now he's back on the short bus.

In the world of Kennuf this makes real sense. The poor unfortunates can now choose not to pay for garbage collection so they can continue to boil some Jackson water. Of course in the meantime they will take their own garbage to the dump or simply stop producing garbage. It makes perfect sense.

More free bullshit?

Maybe all the WHEREAS' are tripping me up, but is he basically asking the city to provide garbage collection for free?? That's the way I'm interpreting all that gibberish. STOKES for mayor!!

If you are gonna run these PSA's on getting shots, why don't you also show the data coming from several countries showing natural immunity is a better route for HEALTHY PEOPLE !! Come on JJ, show us you aren't for mandates ! See you at the rallies ?

Is he suggesting the city just do away with garbage fees, or is he suggesting that the garbage fees be billed separately? I really can’t comprehend his letter.

As if this city isn't dirty enough -- just drop it anywhere -- Kenny says it's okay!!

In Rankin County, if you don't pay your WM bill, you can't get your car tag. Implement this for the CoJ -- for water and garbage -- and they'd surely pay the damn bill.

Why is this newsworthy? If I am getting garbage water from my City why would I not want to pay for the garabge and water in the same bill? When I order a sweet tea I don't pay for sugar and tea separately, so why should I pay for the pooh and water separately?

He wants the garbage fees collected separately so that when his constituents fail to pay for garbage pickup the city will not be able to turn off their water.

@2:01 what you can't determine is the intent and Kenneth's gambit. The resolution only seeks the separation of the periodic charges for garbage from the billings of Jackson for water (and sewer). This might be some sort of preemptive salvo in advance of petulant Lumumba's efforts to begin a new RFP process in order to force his FCC decision upon the city.

I don't know the proper age to do it but every parent should drive their child through Jackson then Madison, Pearl and Brandon and show them what socialism looks like vs capitalism.

If Jackson were functional this might not be so ridiculous because there is normally a reliable method of determining who is paying what for water. It's called a meter. There would also need to be a quick method of determining from the street whether a resident has really paid their garbage fees. At present Jackson has neither. Kenneth has found a way to turn a disaster into a mega disaster.

If the radical punk mayor would do the hard work of best practices management, quit micromanaging others, sell off nonproductive city owned real estate like the libraries, zoo and convention center, fix the water, sewer, bridges, streets, crime and schools, then Jackson might attract business investment that can hire Stokes' fokes to where they can pay their own bills.

Why isn't this as obvious as a deficit on a balance sheet?

@2:19PM,
No they wouldn’t. Most of them have no tag, an expired tag or a stolen tag. Besides, JPD has to turn a blind eye.

According to Kenneth Stokes, Rakin County Sheriff's, Pearl Police & other Police/LE departments will haul your garbage away. You just have to put it the vehicle properly..

These people can not (or will not) put a stamp on an envelope to pay their water bill. What makes “Professor “ Stokes think separating the bill is a good idea?

Anonymous said...

All you need to do If you live in the progressive city of Jackson is to flush you garbage down the commode. That way you don’t have to pay anything thanks to the free water and sewage.

@2:19 can’t get your car tag 😂😂😂 they don’t buy a car tag now, or automobile insurance. In Jackistan everything is free.

Just put the city I receivership and get rid of all of these clowns.

No money for garbage pickup? Give it to them free.

No money for water and sewage? Give it to them free.

No money for beer/drugs? Give it to them free.

No money for housing? Give it to them free.

No money for food? Buy them free chicken.

2:19 pm, the difference is, in Rankin County an expired ta will get you a ticket and a fine. Not so on the “west side” of the pearl.

Remove the garbage charge from the water bill. Then what?

If water is an entitlement and necessity for life, is not the removal of garbage generated by residents also part of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

Give me free water but allow me to drown in my own garbage? Kenneth's donut box is one shy of a dozen.

The lawyers down at Entergy better get ahead of this before the council mandates free lectic.

Sorry about that. Had to take most of yesterday off.

As for the last comment, Jackson owns the means of production? Do you know what socialism is?

October 8, 2021 at 3:29 PM; i did something similar, but for a slightly different reason. we were home schooling my daughter, and she hated doing her work, as most children do.

so, in order to let her see the difference between doing well in school, getting good grades, getting an education and not doing well in school, being lazy, not trying, and not getting an education; one day i put her in the car and we drove down northside drive for a little bit and took a left, into the ghetto of jackson.

we drove around for about 45 minutes, looking at dilapidated house after dilapidated house, abandoned house after abandoned house, burned up house after burned up house, and overgrown lot after overgrown lot. we saw many memorials on the sides of the street to murder victims. that was an interesting conversation with an 8 year old. she said to me that this area was depressing. an 8 year old said that to me. it was clear to even a child, that that way of living was no way to live.

then we drove through eastover. the difference couldn't have been any clearer. large houses, nice yards, nice cars, clean streets, no murder victim memorials.

i'm pretty sure i made my point and she understood why i'm an asshole about her getting her work done and doing well. she's now in 7th grade at Prep making A's and B's.

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.
