I’m sure Chokwe will call Ashby a racist and blame NE Jackson republicans for bringing this up.

I would bet that he is the “only” one wanting to discuss this subject. I am also pretty sure HIZ HONOR the mayor would like to “veto” this item for discussion.

Believe me, I will believe any and everything Ashby Foote says before Lamumba’s B.S. Ashby went through the 4 year program at the United States Military Academy and served very honorably after that. He is ALWAYS fighting an uphill battle with this council. He is the only hope for Jackson, but he is fighting an almost impossible uphill battle to save what is left of Jackson.

I noticed #46 on the agenda is for funding the underused Grand Gulf nuclear plant. Why build the Soul City Solar facility when the projected thousands of homes to be powered could use the existing energy plant?…just asking…I realize this has nothing to do with rent at Smith-Wills…

Who's responsible for the sewage leak at the eastern edge of the parking lot adjacent to the stadium?
I would report the issue to JXN Water but they might fix the problem thereby rendering the city "less black".

1) Foote's attempt to discuss the non-payment of the rents will more than likely attempt to be moved to Executive Session by none other than the weak link on the Council - Honerable Virgie Lindsey. HizHonor certainly does not want this to be discussed in 'public' and moving to Executive Session has been his MO since day one; Virgie who doesn't like confrontation or having to take a stand has been his sidekick on these motions. If they succeed, we'll likely never hear HizHonor's explanation for the missing rent payments.

2) to 2;19 - get over it. Yes, there is a Grand Gulf. There are several other generation facilities both for Entergy and for other power suppliers. The City Council of Jackson MS has nothing to do with Grand Gulf other than to get a part of the tax revenue from the installation. GC has been producing for quite some time, but the need for electrical generation has grown. Just because GC exists, and it exists in Mississippi, has absolutely NOTHING to do with the solar farm you and your neighbors abhor so much. Want to argue; stick to things that make sense and matter. Otherwise, go back to eating your Cheetos and drinking your Koolaid.

3( yes 2:57, call JxnWater.. They might actually fix the problem, something Baby Chock never attempted to do or after bankrupting the system had the funds to do. Even though stopping the raw doodoo from running down the street might make the city less black; it will at least make it not quite as chocklate brown.

Yup. That is how Virgi operates. Mayor can always rely on her to close the doors.

Virgi is absolutely terrible and a liar. I voted for her but I will never again make that mistake. She speaks out of ignorance or just makes facts up.

Anonymous said...

2:19, who cares? Its private money building that solar farm on private land.

It will be interesting to see if Virgi even says one word during the Smith-Wills "discussion".

Time for a Citizen’s FOIA request for all documents pertaining to the rental of SM stadium parking lot.

Attn. Mr. Foote. Sell your house and move to Madison, The City. You will be absolutely amazed at your upgrade in your life style. You have tried and done everything you can to save the dying, if not already dead city of Jackson. You will be welcomed with open arms.

Unrelated but interesting said...

Mr. Stokes told a reporter on WAPT today that when people get arrested they call the mayor. He described the mayor as "a control freak."

Ashby lives in a very high end area with physicians lawyers and business owners. He’s fine there with the RHC and country club crowd hotty totty. JA and Jackson prep neighborhood of his. He owns a business in Madison county though as do many of his fellow neighbors

Anonymous said...

Mayors comments on recording that the Jxn water takeover was a ploy to make the city less black, really? I guess he is accusing Biden then as that is where the funding came from. This is Total Ignorance & Incompetence on his part if he thinks State of MS taxpayers enjoy paying more tax $$ while he turned his back and blind eye to ALL COJ a residents no matter what their RACE was! BS I say!

1. City of Jackson (nor it's council) has nothing to do with Grand Gulf.

2. 'He (Foote) owns a business in Madison county though as do many of his fellow neighbors'

Do tell. Which business?

@2:19 - #46 is for funding RECEIVED from grand gulf, not sent. Try to keep up.

I read this for amusement only now.

Anyone that thinks Chuck or Virgi will be anything today other than the hot trash they have demonstrated themselves to be repeatedly, is silly.

Based on similarly upsetting voting patterns from the City (that are sad and reliable) they both also seem confident they will be reelected.

Patterns of crappy leaders and patterns of crappy voter choices are no bueno.

Can someone translate this post?

11:33: Back in the day we used to place guys like 8:11 on a 72 hour hold in the Psych ward when they babbled like that. The Psych guys could release them and take responsibility for springing them back on the general public after a thorough evaluation, in order to protect the public as much as possible.

Maybe they can get some advice from the city leaders of Dolton, Illinois.

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.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease.
