Do other mayors hold regular briefings?
Or do they just handle business?
Is that hair, or a football helmet?
I think he hit on something there. If everyone drove food instead of cars, Jackson would be so much safer
The mayor’s brinksmanship with the garbage collection contract won’t help the cleanup campaign. I fully expect him to allow trash pickup to cease— AGAIN- in another effort to force the city council to give Richard’s Disposal the contract.
Bank on it.
The apathy from residents is appalling.
If there has ever been a time to form picket lines at City Hall, its probably when your mayor is yet again ruining trash pick up like a toddler throwing a tantrum.

I'll go one step further. I expect him to give them a "list" of just Richards and Garrett Socrates .
Glad to hear all about food collection.
Why not talk about the $13 million illegally written off water users/not water payers accounts? Why not explain how "promises made, promises kept" included breaking the law (and the constitution, which for lawyers like Antar sometimes needs to be explained, both have the same strength of legality.)
I guess its kinda like his whack-a-mole game he plays with Henifin; on one day, for certain purposes, Henifin is the czar and totally in charge; at other times, according to Antar, the "city" has not turned over control of the water department to Henifin; and on other occasions, its "we are working closely togethter". But - on this fiasco of announcing the supposed $20 million grant - its a circle jerk with everybody pointing fingers at the others.
Circle jerk is probalby the correct analogy for this bunch of clowns.
Tuna is a lotta smelly salty protein, but the drop-off is easier than the pick-up and the go-down.
"Smell like fish, look like stew, taste like Bar-Be-Que!" Supposedly a Ho cry, on and North of Colfax Ave, Denver, CO, 1950s-1960s.
So now it was Ted Henefin’s mistake and not the Mayor of the COJ @relief money. Still passing the buck and blaming others! What a piece of lies and crap!
Endless press conferences do not change the direction of Jackson (aka Titanic) sinking into the abyss of a city with no hope.
"I guess its kinda like his whack-a-mole game he plays with Henifin"
That's too funny but so true.
Thanks 6:09... for a good laugh!
Henifin should have known better than to pick up a snake.
@1:54, that's Tron and he's been separated from Flynn and Ram.
My takeaway: “Robust” is his new favorite word. He listens carefully to a select few people while on his little vanity tours, primarily to identify and rip off new words and trendy turns of phrases. He then repeats them ad nauseum, all while saying absolutely nothing. Is there anyone more insufferable than this megalomaniac?
