Jackson Jambalaya

I lived in Jackson for many years. I lived in Foote's ward then Virgi's ward. I had one major issue when I lived in Foote's and one when I lived in Virgi's. Foote called me back within 24 hours and worked on the issue, ultimately to no avail, but at least he tried. Virgi never returned numerous phone calls and emails and I ended up calling Shanda Yates, who worked to get the issue resolved quickly.

@ 1:39 - same issue here. I have lived in Virgi's ward going on 10 years and she has never once responded to an email of mine or a phone call. At a town hall, she told us that she doesn't have time to respond to emails.

Most supervisors have their county mail forwarded to their personal email accounts.

There goes the neighborhood... 😑

Yes, Virgi is beyond worthless, and is complicit in the acceleration of the City's decline we've seen over the last decade.

Jackson's Best!!!!!

If you get a bad hamburger at McDonald's, do you blame the chef? I don't think Virgi is great by any means but it's not a system designed for anyone to succeed.

Is Virgi a leftist supporter of our feckless mayor?

Call or meet with Virgi. You will understand her difficulty or avoidance to get anything done.

Virgo does not need to be re-elected, and she does not have the skills to be president of the council. This is a perfect example of what ails the city of Jackson......NO/ZERO/NADA qualified leadership

I cannot find where
Virgi has EVER had a real job of any sort.

She was a Clarion Ledger reporter for years and then was Commo director at JPS for a long time. She has held real jobs for decades.

One can’t serve as president from federal prison, so the field was narrowed

I am sure that “Commo?” Director at JPS prepared her for the rigors of a Jackson commissioners job.
By the way, are there any houses for sale in northeast Jackson?

I am a former Jacksonian. I grew up in Jackson and had a business in Jackson. I have known Virgi Lindsay since 3 days before water. I admit I am biased. We are on different sides of the political fence but I assure you she cares about her district and Jackson. She is fair and listens carefully. To someone like me Jackson has potential to be really good. But it takes more than one person putting their finger in the dike. I hope Jackson decodes what we all want it to be.

She is Lumumba’s yes woman. She votes with him 110% of the time and never hold him accountable or bucks the system. Fitting.

Sure does carry a lot of water for Lumumba to care about her district and Jackson.

Both sycophants to Chalklines Lumumba.

Great.

Hoo boy. Not exactly cream of the crop. Or maybe she is since this is Jackson.

7:44. Our AA friends don't want to work with the few remaining white people. That is whay Wyatt Emerrich's (sic?) editorial is so stupid. White people are bad, they think....horrible if you will, and they are too focused on paranoia to " get it". Jackson is totally doomed.....done if you will.

Absolutely LOVE “Angel’s” excuse. Let’s revisit a lot of specifics and speculation once the forthcoming federal indictments drop. Virgi, hope you have a great attorney to join you for all of those upcoming “interviews”. Thank you again for deserting your constituents over and over again. Hope it was beneficial for your in-some capacity… Time will tell.

Sadly, this is something that is only to be read in her obituary by someone from Wyoming fifty years from now. And the person will think the person must have been a success.

She will be the next mayor of Jackson. Being president means she’s next in line once chokwe and Jody are indicted

@7:44 PM I'm not putting my finger in a dyke.

Virgi is sharp as a marble.

Affluent White Female Urban Liberal. AWFUL.

Add on being a former left wing reporter and failed urban school system shill, and, what do you have? The perfect sycophant for a failed 1960s-Black Panther Daddy Mair in today's society.

To paraphrase the former NJ GuvNah, "Poifect together." With predictable results, yet daily denials of their civilizational incompetence.

Hmmmm, sounds familiar.

What a joke

Makes no difference to me as of 7-15-24 I will no longer be paying taxes in Jackson, calling for 16 months to have a water pipe fixed, dealing with vagrants, worrying about the help leaving before the zombies come out and oh yea the people who live under the Canton Mart bridge at hanging moss creek.
See you later alligator. Oh and Mayor Lumumba kiss my a...
Flowood here we come after 35 years.

Lots of interesting comments, and all very respectful of Virgie's previous leadership of the Council when she last served as president and let Chockwe run his scam emergencies through resulting in Richards getting their laundrying - I mean collection - contract through only through averting all reasonable bid processes.

So tell us, KF, so we don't have to suffer through watching the video - who voted for who.

I'm betting that the two soon to be felons voted along with Grizell and Lindsey so that Virgie could preside and Grizell take second. If I'm correct, Virgie could have sided with the members who are not in line to be indicted and either been elected or have one of the non-future-felons serve.

Tell me I'm wrong.

Quoting Kingfish, "She was a Clarion Ledger reporter for years and then was Commo director at JPS for a long time. She has held real jobs for decades."

Did you intend to list any of them"

"She was a Clarion Ledger reporter for years and then was Commo director at JPS for a long time. She has held real jobs for decades."

The above is clear evidence that Kingfish has never held a real job either.
