Waste Management Drops Lawsuit

 Waste Management took its ball and went home today in Hinds County Circuit Court after it filed a motion to withdraw its lawsuit against the city of Jackson without prejudice.  However, Waste Management's lawyer, Chase Bryan, entered an appearance in Lumumba v. City Council of Jackson in Hinds County Chancery Court this afternoon. Motion to intervene, anyone?

Antar has desperately called in favors from the leftist heavies in Manhattan like Mike Bloomberg. Expect bloomber.com to publish a flattering puff piece about Lumumba’s triumph over white supremacists like Councilman Kenneth I. Stokes. A man known for driving slain civil rights leaders’ widows to her dialysis appointments.

Richard's leg breakers are biggers than WM's?

Chase Bryan apparently likes his chances with Jess Dickinson.

My read on this is WM decided that even getting the Jackson contract would end up being nothing but a constant headache for them. Why fight to get that.

The longer this continues, the more convinced I am that all involved are criminals. Nobody would put up with this mess just to pick up garbage in Jackson if they weren't planning on massive kickbacks.

So what does this mean?

@6:07 This means that Lumumba will be emboldened to advance his agenda.

That is frightening to me.

Come on folks. Do you know how heavy a 96-gallon container full of garbage weighs? 200 lbs. Can you imagine an elderly woman trying to get one those things to a curb? Give me a break. I got a 60-gallon container & it heavy for me. Why in the Hell do they make 60-gallon plastic bags the standard. think about it.
Chock=Full-of Nuts Lubumbba is the most ridiculous person I've ever seen.
What a disgrace that the city is run into the ground by this fool! He needs to move up to Chicago where that female major will put him to work.

I'm glad, I'm not from Jackson. There are too many stupid people in that city.

Richard’s may very well be incompetent and crooked, but have no doubt that WM is not run by angels. Ask people at Clinton and Hinds County who have to deal with them. Ask a Clinton alderman how many times they had to redo the bid evaluation process to make sure WM won 3 years ago.

This may be a good thing. For one thing, it gets Winston Kidd out of the way, which is altogether a good thing. Secondly, it makes litigation much more orderly to have it all heard in one court. WM can raise its issues if it is allowed to intervene, as I suspect it will. No doubt Chockwe's lawyers are going to squawk, but that is about all they do. It also may help since the city council apparently hired the Martin law firm to represent it, which was unfortunate. It will much easier now to move for injunctive relief, even temporary relief, now that the case is in one court. I expect that an injunction of some kind is going to be necessary. I doubt the issues here can be resolved before the end of the month, especially if the case ends up in the appellate courts, which may well happen.

Well 6:07,

I think it means WM said to hell with Antar & Jackson,Mississippi.

I predict by mid April, many sections of the city will probably have
two weeks worth of rotting un-collected garbage on the streets.
Most of the city will smell like boo-boo again.
Billions of newly hatched blow-flies will be swarming.


However, thats just my initial prediction.

925 where do you think Antar Taliaferro's dad was from?

Anonymous said...

What does it mean? It means I was right yesterday when I posted that Antar would win this battle (but not the war). The lawsuit filed by WM was without grounds since there was no contract, WM had not been harmed and there was no way it could survive the first hour of judicial scrutiny.

It also means the perception of a gut-punch directed at WM and an emboldening of the boy-mayor of our capital city.

It could also mean WM is re-thinking its selection of a local attorney.

WM has actual attorneys with access to actual information, and that information leads them to conclude that filing a voluntary dismissal is in the best interest of their client. That may sound like a "no shit" answer. It isn't. Do with that what you will.

6:07, see the first half of the comment at 8:49.

9:31, By all means, go to Russia get your teeth kicked in for criticizing the government. I doubt you'd last one day in Russia. I know I wouldn't.

If you can’t provide the answer then stop acting like you can predict the future. Humans only use 10% of their brains. Do you believe such a small amount can predict the future?

FOH.

It's always better to be on the side of a governmental body in a judicial proceeding in order to not be "home cooked". In this case, WM simply left being a "free agent" and is signing with the LA Rams.

Anonymous said...

So has Richard's said where they were going to take these loaded trucks with "raw boo boo"? I thought WM owned the landfills in or near Jackson.

Anonymous said...

SmRt move by WM, they’re paying the long game. I doubt they have any intention of letting this go, it would just open the door for other cities to have “emergencies”.

I wake up every morning and promptly give thanks to the good Lord above that I moved my family out of Jackson and Hinds County five years ago. No, really, every damn morning.

My thoughts exactly. Can you imagine the road blocks that "loyal City employees" and the City Administration would erect against WM? "No you can't drive the truck down that alley way, you are tearing up the street" etc., etc.

Can’t wait till your trash piles up on the street KF. I will laugh my ass off from Gluckstadt.

It means WM picked the wrong local lawyer. That lawsuit was dead from the get go. There was no contract. There was no harm suffered. Filing that lawsuit was nothing but bluster and WM paid for it. Also paid to drop it. Time to get the Yellow-Pages out!

Chokwe circles the track in a victory lap.

I think the city is missing the biggest issue. It's not the trash that's almost minor to the whole department that needs to be revised. Public works need more help than anything from repairing potholes to completely new staff of the water department. Sending estimated bills has to stop. Customers are overcharged for usage at extremes rates. More focus needs to be on the department as a whole than just a trash contract that's wasting taxpayer money. Jackson water is almost close to Flint Michigan water but we pay the highest in the state.

@7:52pm -- Corinth has had city-provided large, 196-gallon thrash cans for years. More than twice the size of the 96-gallon ones people have been complaining about. They work fine for once-a-week thrash pick-up, and older folks still were able to get those down to the street and back. -- Ridgeland's Waste Management provided recycle thrash cans are 96-gallon; older folks still get those to the street and back. -- Stop whining about the potential for city provided 96-gallon wheeled thrash cans that prevent thrash prevent thrash from being torn up and littered down the street when people leave their thrash bag out and it gets ripped up by animal or weather.

Simply Confused said...

To those asking what this means: it most likely means that Waste Management is making the smart decision to have their fight in a more friendly venue.

"So has Richard's said where they were going to take these loaded trucks with "raw boo boo"? I thought WM owned the landfills in or near Jackson." Maybe they'll haul them to NOLA or Baton Rougu then put them on a garbage scow and dump it in the Gulf.

Agree with 8:54. Will end up looking like the Space Port scene in 5th Element.

Ice Cube wrote a song called “How To Survive In South Central.” No sooner than I heard the lyrics I said to myself there really isn’t a difference between South Central and Jackson, Mississippi.

Am I lying?

I vote that Richard's dumps the garbage in baby chowke's gated compound, right?

Anonymous said...

Richard's will NEVER have a fleet of trucks and staff to drive and ride by 4/1. He was asked how much he'd put into it already and he wouldn't say. He hasn't known what to prepare for and he's probably scrambling now.
What Antar has done is CRIMINAL. As much as I do not want my trash to pile up on my street, I almost can't wait to see it happen so he can see and smell his massive failure as "Mair".

5:31. does richards try to subcontract WM for a month until he can get something together?

Anonymous said...

9:48 - Can you post a photo of a 196-gallon trash can by emailing it to Kingfish for publication. I'm thinking it would be the size of what used to be a regular refrigerator.

"Corinth has had city-provided large, 196-gallon thrash (sic) cans for years. More than twice the size of the 96-gallon ones people have been complaining about."

That has either got to be a deliberate misrepresentation of the truth or a misunderstanding of the size.

Picture a 55 gallon drum. Everybody knows what that looks like. A 196 gallon drum would be the size of 3 1/2 of those 55 gallon drums. Nobody could roll one of those, full, anywhere, much less to the street.

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.
