Jackson Jambalaya

soon to be grafted away-

"Flooding in Mississippi in early August 2022 caused the City of Jackson’s already vulnerable public water system to lack sufficient pressures"

Still reciting Lumumba's BS narrative, I see.

Hopefully the mayor can’t get his hands on it.

Too late. Won't fix the gross incompetence still resident inside Shitty, er, City Hall.

Let's see...1/6th of the total national budget for this sort of gifting is headed to Jackson, Mississippi. That's that percentage?

Alligator shoes and new suits for everybody in Chock's family and everybody he knows or ever has known.

God help the city (and all citizens of this state) if a receiver is not in the mix.

Jackson gets "necessary funding that was denied them for so long" according to Lumumba.

Hey Lumumba, the other water systems in the state go to work, manage their system, manage their money, and make the stuff work without a pot of free money. While your group is sleeping, misusing, ignoring, practicing incompetence, neglecting, and flat f***ing everything up, the other water systems are WORKING.

Enjoy your free gift, and you are great at playing the victim.

Still saying it was due to flooding...

So is this funding going to Lyin Lumumba or Teddy H?

Not one damned word about grant-disbursement, spending authority, dissemination or documentation and reporting.

Soon buddies of the mayor will form new entities, with no experience or expertise, to which contracts will be awarded, and the result will be more of the same that exists now, poor quality of work in exchange for more buddies of the mayor becoming much richer from the public trough.

Press conference at Frelons Friday night! 5:30-midnight. Supper will be served, nursery available, balloons and door prizes, complimentary bar, bumper stickers (no car tag required).

Laissez les bons temps rouler.

Let's see a Porsche for the wife, Rukia, and Safiya, and maybe some condos on the Gulf, right?

How much for Socrates? Bennie, you in?

Roger Wicker should be ashamed of himself.

@2:54
Roger wasn’t ashamed of his initiation into Klaus Schwab’s cult. Why would he be ashamed of sending money to the corrupt mayor?

Jackson officials would do well to reflect upon the cautionary tale of a former MS Dept of Corrections Commish. One bad move and you are in the net of those watching this money.

Congrats on winning the lottery Mr Mayor.

I hate that the funds wont reach the impoverished community, but they picked the leader.

Look forward to the many new Escalades that the Lumbuma clan will be driving too.

This money will be pissed away and the water will still be dirty.

whoever is in charge of dispersing the cash had better mind their p's and q's because their every move is under a microscope.

buckle up. you're about to witness next level corruption.

Special gifts for special people, so much for equal treatment under the law, Jackson is filled with special people so the laws do not apply.

Jackson officials would do well to reflect upon the cautionary tale of a former MS Dept of Corrections Commish. One bad move and you are in the net of those watching this money.

They may please proceed!

And it still won't be fixed. Mark my word and this post and in 10 years, let's see what all has been done. Kind of like public education in certain areas, all the money in the world won't fix mismanagement.

An intervening federal judge can still dictate when, why, where, how and by whom this taxpayers' gift will be disbursed.

Did someone mention condos - Do YOU PEOPLE remember a fellow named Chris Epps? How many did he have?

I hope that Mercedes Of Ridgeland and Kerry Automotive Group (formerly Herrin Gear BMW, Lexus) have rebuilt their inventories! Lurch Kerry sending the big bucks to Jackistan to increase his luxury auto sales...brilliant, huh?

Wow. What a pool for the admin. swimmers

This is a double gift for sure! On the one hand, I like seeing good things happen for Jackson. On the other, it’s extremely satisfying watching y’all get your collective parties in a wad over it. Please, cry some more. And then, pretty please, don’t forget to post about it on here so I can revel in it.

Thanks in advance!

WLBT at 5 - they were doing the happy dance. Do they get a piece of the action?

What a crock. Bidens EPA sending money to his liberal city since it’s becoming a national joke of a capital. Meanwhile Jackson continues to dump tons of sewage and break all kinds of epa rules. Pollution on a major scale and it’s nothing but crickets from all the greenie weenie, coexist, save the planet hippies in Belhaven and the Fondren.

How much will actually be available for work on the water system once all of the mouths are fed and hands greased?

5:13, be sure and come back to tell us how well the money was spent if the mayor or his cronies have any say about where the money goes. Given his track record, there seems to be little reason for optimism that, if he has any control, the money will be well spent. I certainly don’t wish Jackson ill, as I work there, but I’m also realistic about the mayor’s lack of interest in actually improving the city based on his performance thus far.

Please keep this story in the fore front. How will these monies be handled? Are they funneled through the current water czar?

Fast forward- money gone and nothing to show for it!

5:13 will still be stomping around next year with the Jackson clowns protesting/complaining about water racism or whatever they come up with because the incompetents still won’t have anything fixed and I’ll just laugh at them as usual drinking my fresh ice cold water.

Is there a user-friendly list, somewhere, of all the various monies which have been thrown at Jackson in recent years?

And is there a definitive number of gallons of Raw Boo Boo, which have been released by Jackson, into the Pearl River? I've read "millions". I've read "billions". Just wondering...

The EPA threatened my neighborhood into spending $750,000 to re-work a dam to handle a 45 inch rain in a 24 hour period. If we didn't comply we would face a multi-thousand dollar daily fine.

Meanwhile...Jackson dumped 50 million gallons of raw sewage into the Pearl River without a dime in fines.

Is this what Stokes was calling Chokwe a thief about yesterday?

$ dumped in Jackson like sewer dumped in river.

The local Lexus and Porsche dealers are doing the happy dance, along with upscale property realtors on the Redneck Riviera and south Florida. Right?

This won't cover 10% of what it would actually take to rebuild Jackson's water infrastructure if it was actually spent on that. By the time the graft, waste and theft is accounted for if everybody in town gets one extra toilet flush out of it I'll be surprised.

Given that Jackson pays double for projects after inclusion of minority contractors, that $100 million+ won't go far.

The city should soon be able to afford to purchase a city business aircraft so that that Lyin' Lumbubbles can jet around in style and impress his distant Marxist admirers. Right?

As the release says, this is not new $115 million but part of the $600 million already announced. At this rate they'll be able to announce the same money in six different press releases. My understanding is this is the first money being drawn down by Ted Henifin (the third party administrator appointed by Judge Wingate) at Jxn Water. He mentioned that he was drawing down this first $115 million of the $600 million at the Stennis Luncheon on Monday. But any presidential administration is going to take credit for anything it does as many times as it can.

be careful little choc...........

that free money was just printed especially for you.........

its hot off the presses......

it will burn your little hand when you touch it

I wonder if they have the option of putting those funds in a money market acct that's earning 5% until they are used. Could be a nice ancillary revenue stream

Thank you, President Biden!

"Soon buddies of the mayor will form new entities, with no experience or expertise, to which contracts will be awarded, and the result will be more of the same that exists now, poor quality of work in exchange for more buddies of the mayor becoming much richer from the public trough."

Yeah, I'm starting my business right now. Can't wait to buy my Escalade and open up a cigar shop.

Melvin is being facetious because nothing he's touched or run has turned out to be successful.

I appreciate Theca's honesty. Who says there is no honor among thieves?

Does Socrates have new business cards and letterhead yet, plus a new website? Soon to hire a Lumbubbles family member to answer the phone at $200K/year?
