Translated: Chucky Labamba has gone back to Richards Dispsal to ask for more Dollu$$ to buy some additional board votes for them

Imagine if they met this many times to fix the crime or the water issues.

Ha ha, How silly of me!

Good thing they have no other city services that need to be discussed and solved.

The people of Jackson want efficient service, the mayor wants black hands on all contracts, the city council is in the middle hoping you can have both but knowing this may not be the contract to do it. The mayor will ultimately win because he will outlast all of them. The death spiral continues.

The fact Lumumba is so adamant about this should raise a serious red flag. Like others have echoed, imagine if they addressed the crime and killing sprees going on in the City of Jackson this many times. He doesn't care about the people, on getting his $$$. If he does pass this and kicks WM to the curb, and it fails(and it most likely will turn into a CF), I hope WM tells him to pound sand when he comes back begging for their services.

Remember, you do what is good for you, not what is good for the citizens. Politicians Credo.

IF that vote ends in Richards getting the contract and the board isn't investigated by SHAD himself...................

The Northside Sun perfectly summarized the mayor's approach to government- "If it's not broke, breake it."

Second bite at the apple? WTF? What kind of hand soap does Chowke use to get that grease off??

I thought once they voted down they have to get new proposals before reconsider?

If you had a City Manager, you wouldn't need this level of involvement to get a damn garbage contract approved. But, if it's because all of the council members are positioning for their taste, then it's not a vote -- it's a negotiation.

How long did it take Chowke's sis' to drive to/from New Orlean$ yesterday to pick up an envelope?

According to the reports the Council has not received a copy of the contract and the names of the minority subcontractors are not being discussed. why the Hell are they voting on a contract that they have never seen?

So no matter how much the citizens like our current disposal company, the crook will find a way to eliminate them. $$$$follow the money

Anonymous said...

That must be some kickback the mayor is gonna get if he is fighting this hard for that contract

Follow the money said...

Can someone please remind me why we are fixing something that isn’t broken? Waste Management is about the only thing working in Jackson

Anonymous said...

Who are the minority contractors? Is the EBO plan not public info.

Waste Management is the only Jackson city service that is functional. My business has not received a water bill for two years, my residence has not received one in months. There is no traffic enforcement. All fire hydrants are not tested and some don't work. Murder capitol of the USA. Ride down Ellis Avenue. The zoo? Hinds Board of supervisors? I could continue on and on, but to me the real question is why the folks in Belhaven think Virgi is representing them? I predict if Waste Management is ousted, the downward spiral of garbage collection will begin within a few months.

I have a friend who asked me for my support if he ran for the City Council. I told him I liked him too much to support him for a fate like that.

Follow the money. There has to be some reason for the mayor to keep pursuing approval of the Richards contract ---other than what is in the best interest of the city's residents. If the company in question had stellar or even generally satisfactory reviews by its current clients, maybe. However, it doesn't. Anyone can do a google search and see the issues in Louisiana. I would bet money that Richards is/will be subcontracting with the local companies previously rejected by the Council. And ... at least 1 additional council person will vote yea, to break the tie so that Richards will get the contract. This type of pandering is nothing new. However, its being done in plain sight. At least in the past, there has been some effort to appear fair. Shame on the mayor and those who support this. Do better!

Has anyone ever answered the question about additional garbage cans? I put out at least 3-4 extra cans a week of limbs and leaves. WM picks them up every time. Is the new vendor going to limit us to ONE can per pick-up?

Anonymous said...

which council person sold out?

Lumumba is a idiot

When Richard's fails, Chowke will blame the failure on gun shows and white flight. You read it here first.

The good news is that the trash that will accumulate in your yard can be used to fill potholes.

To read the contract you will have to vote yes first.

So more of the same?

12:44 it appears that she must have gotten stuck in a traffic tieup on the bridge south of Manchec, and couldn't make it back in time before the 5:30 meeting - thus the People's Republic didn't have the ummph to get the necessary fourth 'switch'. And Virgie didn't receive her envelope to keep her stuck as she swung back and forth between those narrow streets in her "historic" districts that Richard rode over with her in order to get her to support this garbage.

FBI isn’t watching. Carry on...

Amazing that Virgi and Richard’s viewed the Belhaven area but what about her midcity representation with many many open dumping sites on city streets. Is she not concerned about these areas?

Krusatyr said...

If the impetuous imp of a boy Mayor had not found a racially appropriate garbage man in NOLA, would he have resorted to a search in Baltimore, Detroit, Mogidishu?

A fixation on his father's "NEW Africa" agenda succeeded in providing third world murders, streets, water, sewer and decrepit City owned real estate. Will piles of uncollected garbage precede armed revolt?

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.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. 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. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
