Richard's Disposal Quits New Orleans

 To say New Orleans residents are dissatisfied with garbage collection is an understatement.  The city issued an RFP but Richard's Disposal did not submit a bid. The Times-Picayune reported yesterday: 

At least four prominent garbage collectors, three locally owned and one national, are competing to take over trash collections for a large swath of New Orleans, after the city closed bids Friday for two long-term contracts....

Metro did not submit a bid for the new contract. For months, administration officials have publicly deplored the company’s performance, making Metro appear a longshot for a renewal.

Richard’s Disposal, which collects garbage in the upriver half of the city, did not submit a bid either. Under their existing contracts, Richard's and Metro are each paid about $11 million a year based on the number of units, or addresses, they collect from. The new deals are structured as professional services contracts, meaning that under public bid laws, the city is not required to choose the company with the lowest price... Rest of article.

Baton Rouge will be the only city where Richard's Disposal holds a legal contract to collect garbage.

Mayor,
You are incompetent to say the least. I saw you eating in Fondren yesterday and nearly lost my appetite. Just a heads up no one that has any education or pays taxes finds you to be worth a damn… your sissy speech on the mud bugs shooting was beyond horrible and you continue to be mocked by those with leadership skills both in public and private sectors.

Richards will continue their current contract with the city of New Orleans but chose not to bid on contract held by Metro. Correct?

Anonymous said...

My theory: Richard’s knew they were finished in New Orleans and would be out soon. So they find a corrupt mayor in a corrupt city, grease his palms and then put all of their chips into this basket with the hope of saving their company.

The mayor sure picked a screwed-up company to serve Jacktown.

How in the Hell did Chokeweed Lubamba ever get elected as mayor??

If the fine peoples of Jacktown reelect him than they deserve NO empathy. It will just show their stupidity!

Richard's Sucks said...

But under Prince Chowke's tutelage they perform differently in the People's Democratic Republic of Jackistan, right?

Kingfish said...

Mayor Cantrell made it clear back in January she wanted to take garbage collection in a different direction. Richard's and Metro have been using subcontractors just to get the work done.

Krusatyr said...

So Richard's Disposal needs Jackson a lot worse than the reciprocal. Should be strategic leverage for the four amigos to continue their revolt against the boy emperor who should be squeezed like the adolescent zit he is, because Jackson can only fail until that zit of a mayor is gone.

10:12 : The stupid has been here a long long time. Mayor Melton was the only exception and we saw what happened to him.

Thanks Mayor, my Madison home value just went up another $5000.00.

Kingfish said...

Really? One thing Ladd and I agree on is Frank was an idiot as well as a sicko. Crime got much worse under Frank (and even worse when he hired Mac). He ran off personnel such as Ramey Ford and replaced them with complete and total idiots. He tried to get Jackson to use the same interest rate swaps that bankrupted Jefferson County. He totally screwed up the convention center plans by bringing TCI into the deal and handing over (not literally) all of that land to the company, thereby dooming the project. We won't even get into the sordid stuff.

So who was the last decent mayor of Jackson?

So the current Mayor is way better. Got it KF. Melton died in office and his ideas never had a chance. Now his strong armed tactics were questionable as were some of his hires . Bottom line is the current dude is going on his second term...HIGHEST MURDER RATE EVER and sure as hell hasn't created jobs. And his hires ? LOL.

Kingfish said...

Who said he was? Did I?

Frank had plenty of time to try his ideas. They were just all hare-brained or downright dumb.

Richards subs Jackson out to WM in 3....2....1......

the freeloaders are always just middlemen playing whatever card they have handy

Melton was an egomaniac. He was smart, but saw the rest of us as suckers. Beyond that, he was depraved in many ways.

Chokwe is mayor because his name is Chokwe. He has his "speech" which he repeats over and over. If only he had moral courage. One thing Melton did right was his "Bottom Line" act on WLBT. Chokwe, you are a cardboard cut-out. Where's the damn beef? What's the bottom line?

Anonymous said...

When will Richards bail on Baton Rogue? Then we will be it's only source of income.

Just like Melton relied on the nostalgia from his "Bottom Line" commentaries to paint a public persona as some tough-as-nails modern day Buford Pusser, so too has CAL relied on widespread admiration within the black community for his late father to convince the masses that he was the 2nd coming of Daddy Lumumba (reference his first campaign speeches and his early diatribes during council meetings as mayor and notice how often he brings up his father). Both men were/are equally incompetent as mayors, its just that Lumumba is young and charismatic and much less flamboyant.

Danks? Of Rebel Woods apartments fame. Rebel Woods came in and within 3 years Swan Lake, Mayfair, Brookleigh and the rest of deep south Jackson was overrun with crime. But it didn't take long to sell our house back then.

Of course they are leaving Nawlins because Junior Chowke promised Richard's millions to move to Jackistan.

Melton was a 'tough as nails" modern day Buford Pusser, at least for half of the drug boys; those that were not his boys. May be more like CAL than we thought, besides both of them riding in on a false persona. Difference might be that I'm not sure CAL has as much interest in teaching young black boys how to swim as Melton was.

Kingfish said...

Exactly. Why do you think he tried to get rid of Comstat, kept the police mobile command center at his house, disbanded the drug task force, and appointed unqualified people to run JPD? Why did so many kids get in more trouble after they got around Frank?

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.
