FAA: Remove Garbage Trucks

Kenneth Stokes had the last laugh on the Mayor as he announced at a press conference this afternoon the FAA told the Jackson Municipal Airport Authority to eject all Richard's Disposal garbage trucks from Hawkins Field. 




Mr. Stokes held the presser at the office of the Martin & Martin law firm.  (Start at 6:00).  Richard's Disposal is leasing parking space for its garbage trucks at Hawkins Field.  The JMAA lease agreement states the Crescent City company will pay $69,000 for the lease.  

  The City Council and Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba reached an impasse over awarding a new garbage contract so the Mayor  awarded an emergency no-bid one-year contract to Richard's Disposal for garbage collection at the end of March when the Waste Management contract expired. 

The City Council objected to the parking of the garbage trucks at Hawkins Field in an April 13 resolution.  

Mr. Stokes charged the Mayor with practicing environmental racism by placing the garbage trucks near Jackson residents.  




Kingfish note: This fiasco is very similar to what took place at the zoo. The Mayor got mad because the Board voted to study moving the zoo to LefLeur's Bluff and vowed to get a new management company. He kicked out the Jackson Zoological Society - and its license. The Mayor was forced to shut down the zoo for nearly a year because no one had a license to operate a public zoo and wound up with egg on his face.

As for the garbage collection, Richard's sometimes does not pick up the garbage until 8 PM, an hour after the Waste Management transfer site shuts down.  Where do you think the garbage goes overnight?

It appears by the language the FAA used, that Mr. Brown sent a request to the FAA about leasing standards asking their opinion. "The collective" won't be happy about Mr. Brown bringing attention to their wrongdoings.

Where will Richards go now, since New Orleans cancelled their contract...

SO what KF? The FAA ain't gonna tell the Mayha what he can and can't do; hell, he will call his buddies up at Haaarvard and get them to educated those bureaucrats at Biden's FAA. And if that don't work, he will use his direct line to the Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee (God, that's a scary thought just to write it) and get him to explain that those garbage trucks are a priority security issue and that his boy mayor can't take the embarrassment of taking another kick in the arse over his doubling down with Richards.

Let's see how 'expeditiously' Richards gets those trucks off the property at Hawkins Field. Bet it won't be done this month. Any takers?

Richards (and by extension Lumumba) about to get slapped by the Federal hand.

They're planning to move them to the Convention Center.

"As expeditiously as possible" means nothing.

So the FAA is now racist !

Chok is an environemntal rascist.

That major award from Havard is looking more and more like Jackson's raw boo boo.

Pay the cowboy to park them at the fairgrounds, as it won't be used for anything anytime soon. Bwa ha ha ha.

It's an FAA funded airport, so the FAA can cut-off funding and more if the boy mayor doesn't comply.

4:16, try to keep up. The Homeland Security Chairman isn’t doing a potential congressional opponent or heir any favors. The Chairman is more Big Jim Eastland than embracer of the Collective’s “leader.”

Of course, there is also no doubt the Chairman will say he tried to help the Mayor.

But Antar told us the FAA had agreed with the arrangement with Richards Disposal.

Citizens: "Mayor Antar, this city has a lot of problems with water, sewer, streets, schools, and crime. The only thing that seems to work efficiently in this city is the garbage pickup. You need to fix that."

Mayor Antar: "Okay. I fixed it. Now the garbage doesn't work either."

Citizens: "That ain't what we meant."

Hey, 4:54, if they parked those big ass trash trucks at the fairgrounds, there would be the twin benefit of having something for fair-goers to hide behind during the inevitable gang warfare cross-fire.

That's exactly what we were told.

Keep tearing Jackson down while people work to bring Birmingham, Little Rock and Shreveport up. Most of you ain’t no better than His Honor much less Stokes who you trash all the time.

Move it to the zoo. Nobody goes there

Using the city's airport for overnight storage of garbage. That's gonna look good in their ongoing case about the board. Isn't it still pending at the FAA?

Kingfish said...

Reeves won't care. He will give JMAA/Jackson what it wants in court, force state, to appeal, state wins appeal, plaintiffs create new issue, rinse, repeat.

Just put the garbage trucks in the Metro Center parking lot, as long as they don’t interfere with the giant Ferris Wheel and the Go-Kart track

What is the status of the airport takeover? How long has that been going in? Seems like a decade. State just needs to pony up.

5:47 it would be different if the Mayor would do something positive for the City. Those other cities must have competent leadership. You should be banned from thinking. Or, at lest banned from typing.

The STOKES hat question is the most important question.

Thanks KF, that video was beyond priceless.

Ms Rita Brent should now have more new material for two more hit tunes.


(Stokes catching tadpoles and making mud-pies ...
raccoons & possums' on the runway ... birds causing plane crashes
in NYC).

Key and Peele could not come close to such acts.

If I were him, I'd close the airport just so I could keep my sacred garbage trucks.

I heard the Richards trucks run on pure raw boo boo to help the environment.

Were they were flying the garbage @ Hawkins on a charter flight every night to Tijuana and bringing guns and dope back on the return flight?

Richards Disposal is far better than WM. They show up when they want to, put most of the trash in the truck, fill our air with fumes, and it takes three rings before the call to complain gets dumped. Three whole rings!

Use the trucks to cover up pot holes!

MetroCenter here they come !!! Like a bastard stepchild.

@7:27 AM - Cover up? Hell no, use the trucks to fill-in the potholes. Start with the ones that have their own zipcode.

@8:15 AM - Yes! Park them at the Metro Center. The shoppers could drop their garbage off while shopping at Jackistan's flagship retail venue.

I have to believe 5:47 is a troll. Or Melvin...which is basically the same.

Verbal insults are the reason Jackson is not Birmingham?

You type that with a straight face?
How moronic can one voting block be, to STILL not be able to properly assign blame?

If Lord Chuck took a jack hammer to the skreets he still would not be to blame for the new potholes, right?

Also, I ordered a Stokes black trucker hat off Etsy for less than $20 and will be wearing it unironically.

5:47 - pointing out the various ways the mayor is making the city worse isn’t “tearing down Jackson.” It’s calling out the mayor for his constant failure. The first step to Jackson looking like the cities you mention is getting competent city leadership and people should keep pointing out the mayor’s incompetence.

Anonymous said...

9:15 : Until our local MEDIA go after him daily in person and on nightly broadcasts there will be nothing. Honestly I believe the MEDIA wants him as mayor and may even fall for his act.

Anonymous said...

As far as I can tell, there are three areas the mayor took a personal in interest in managing himself:

1. JPD
2. The zoo
3. garbage collection

It's time to just this mayor by the results of his actions, not his intentions or his rhetoric.

Chokwe will veto this letter.

Hey 5:47........

Telling the truth isn't tearing jackson down.

Guess you don't understand crime statistics that has been on all three news stations since Sunday morning. Guess you're like the boy mayor. If we don't talk about it, then it didn't happen.

You can talk about all the "come back" of the cities, but it isn't going to happen in jackson in your lifetime.

Just remember, dumbazzes being removed from the gene pool isn't a bad thing!

“They [JMAA] did require, and they did achieve and receive approval [Richards' usage of Hawkins facilities] from the FAA for the term of one year.”

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.
