Trash Talk: Here We Geaux Again

Update (12:20 PM): The City Council discussed the January 25 EPA letter in executive session.  It adjourned without discussing the garbage contract. 

Update (11:12 AM) The City Council votes to go into executive session to discuss the fourth item on the agenda, potential litigation.  The garbage contract was the second item on the agenda but City Council skipped over it.  Will it be discussed? 

The Jackson City Council is taking up yet again the garbage contract for Richard's Disposal of New Orleans.  What the fun below. 

Readers might be remiss in thinking the contract should be moot since the City Council rejected the contract twice. The Lumumba administration removed a line from the contract after the first vote.  The City Attorney told the City Council Tuesday it was was voting on a different contract and thus the rule of two did not apply.  

So much for substance over form.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! If none of the people of Jackson don't contest this BS, they deserve what they get. Removing a line of the previous contract does not make it a new contract.

No one on the City Council knows you.

So, what was is not what is?

Just when you think Jackson has scraped the bottom of the barrel and is the worst governed municipality in the country, they go and make it even worse.

It took a little over 7 minutes to see Stokes show up late and then abstain from voting on an otherwise unanimous ruling, and that the council does not understand how the budgeting for the Convention Center works. No wonder they went into a closed session...SMH.

The boy mayor is engaging in corruption in broad daylight. You white-guilters in Fondren and Belhaven better get accustomed to living among your trash, because that’s exactly what will happen.

It is probably my imagination but it appears the kiddie Mayor is becoming more and more frantic over the garbage contract. Curious.

I have several pre cut burn caldrons for sale if anyone is interested. They are perfect for burning trash. You are gonna need it.......oh wait, you have to have a permit to burn anything in Jack Town.

With a little creativeness all of that garbage that will soon be piling up could be used to fill potholes.

The rats that will soon overpopulate the neighborhoods because of the garbage could be used for target practice by Chowke's drug boys, right?

Win-win.

I really think Jackson is going to sit back and dare the feds to do anything about these letters and consent decrees. I really don't know what power the feds have to force Jackson to do anything. What the feds don't want to happen is for them to become the bad guys, starving a majority black city of resources. Chokwe has the feds over a barrel, much like he did the state when the state really didn't want to take over Jackson schools.

11:24, The city counsel is responsible for representing the interests of all of its constituents, regardless of whether any of them "know" me.

There is a new plan by city council to address Carjackings. The garbage stench in Jackson will get so bad the carjacker youngsters will move their operations to Madison.

Another massive bailout for the Convention Center. Incredible.

Still waiting on the most recent City CAFRs and Independent Auditors’ Reports thereon.

12:51, not so. Look at the burnt crack houses, cars, and that flaming murder rate. No permit required.

There will not be a contract until it's awarded to a minority contractor and the mayor gets paid for his vote.....it's just that simple

Was it legal to use ARPA funds to bail out the failing Convention Center ?

Again, the City Council doesn’t know you.
Translation: They only wanted your vote. Once you vote them into office, they don’t know you. Once you vote them into office, they can’t do jack for you.
Peep game: Politics 101

So, as a tax payer, I am over paying for their BS meetings where nothing is solved. Somebody save us!

Stokes (and his cap) shuffles-in late and then proceeds to blow his nose.

The convention center guy mumbles something, but then proclaims the
City Hall podium "mike" is weird ... after he has no clue about how to use said "mike".

All Virgie seems to say is "uh ... ah ... thank yew".

1:29 - What a completely horrendous and utterly wrong take.

Virgi listen closely here. You vote for this and your done

WAPT reports the litigation issue is about whether a third vote on the garbage contract is legal, given a city law that says a contract cannot be considered again if it has already been rejected twice by the city council, which is the case with Richard's disposL.

PittPanther, how would the feds taking over the water/sewer system starve the black city of resources? Actually, it would save the city resources that they are currently having to pour into the system due to their mismanagement of the delivery system and the billing system.

If the system was running properly, the 'profits' from it do not enure to the city or the city's financial resources. Those 'profits' are required to be retained in the enterprise fund for maintenance and reserve purposes.

And, I don't think the Feds would have one bit of hesitation about taking over the system, particularly considering the multiple violations and the continuing process of them on both sides of the utility - the sending out f the new (water) and the taking back of the used (sewer) product

Well 5:16, when the bullsh*t hits you in the eye like a big pizza pie, it's kind of hard to deny the reality of the typical Dim-O-Krat actions of the last 60 yrs.

Truth sucks doesn't it, but since when has the truth stood in the way of a Dim-O-Krat disaster?

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.
