Making the Big Bucks

 David L. Archie has only been on the city payroll for a few days.  JJ submitted a public records request for Mr. Archie's employment information with the city of Jackson.  The records provided state: 



If the former Jackson Mayoral candidate works 40 hours per week, it is estimated he will earn $780 per week.

Not exactly the "big bucks," but you are likely being sarcastic, which I like. However, he likely only works about 10 hours per week (if that), so his hourly equivalent is closer to about $80. Does he have a city SUV? Gas card? Benefits?

From the City’s website:. Biggest bunch of gobbledygook. Mans nothing. The Mayor's Office Department of Constituent Services, Public Information, Mayor’s Action Line/ 311 is a network of resources offering constituents direct access to accurate information and timely assistance with city programs and services. It coordinates communications between neighborhoods and city government as well as information and problem resolutions between city departments and constituents.
Through Public Information, the Mayor's Action Line/ 311, our office acts as a conduit through which residents may lodge concerns, submit service requests, or share ideas and suggestions with key city administrators, including department directors, division managers and field superintendents.
Our ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life in all neighborhoods citywide by ensuring every citizen equal access to city services in the most effective and efficient way possible.

About 19.20 per hour too much.

To be fair, for those issues requiring action, the hotline reps just take the info and pass it on to a city department to take care of. Therein lies the problem; the reps like Archie can be as diligent as possible but if they give that info to a department that is severely shortstaffed, proper equipment is lacking, where no one has any technical expertise or institutional knowledge, and morale is rock bottom, the obvious happens - nothing.

10:50/Squeezer, that is great - you should be able to give KF a nice donation during this current fundraiser.

If empty buzzwords and bureaucratic bafflegab are all it takes then all the hard work is done and it's already quitting time!

Who remembers when “Sugar Sugar” was performed on The Archie Show in the late 1960s?

He will get paid that per week and never work.

Antard is Going to Jail said...

If he shows up backing Rukia's grift effort(s) after his CofJ employment terminates then don't be surprised to see him whenever and wherever he can stir things up on the periphery of Antard's trial date.

Antard is Going to Jail said...

Constituent Services has never been anything but a front organization to bury citizens complaints and concerns under the ruse that someone will care and act. Wouldn't be surprised to learn that the contact details of every person who contacted that charade was harvested and fed back door to Rukia to use in her astro-turf manufacturing efforts.

So about 6 weeks(end of June) of “work” is a little short 5k. About the remainder of what was owed

I will repeat: This is the cheapest payoff Lumumba will ever have. Not even a full months pay. If Archie even gets that.

Would love to see a list of all city employees with pay

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.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? 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. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
