Jackson Jambalaya

Further proof this mayor lives up to his name that everyone seems to know him as LuDUMBa… talk about total stupidity. Danyelle and the poor peoples campaign are the only idiots remaining to support this loser. His job performance is about as strong as her vocabulary

Regardless of the previous report, typically an asbestos report is required before demo can begin on something as old as the Coca Cola plant.

Went by the partially demolished Welty library yesterday. Didn’t the same thing happen there?

City of Jackson certified asbestos inspectors as of last year did not renew their asbestos licenses. So many many previous asbestos inspections are null & void until qualified inspectors with current certification are on the job to redo all of the previous inspections. And wondering what happened to the EPA’s $400,000.

Lumumba can't be gone quick enough. Let's hope that Horn will appoint competent administrators.

Ignorant of realities and interested only in promoting themselves.
Sounds like Chuckie & crew to me!

Is it possible that there are anymore Doofus acts for the Grifter to perform before he leaves his office?

Chowke needs to check into some asbestos suits. His @$$ is going rip in flames.

Chowke, doing his part to keep Mississippi last, one weekly scandal at a time. Right?

Um, not exactly. Just checked with DEQ. Brunson and McDonald are certified asbestos inspectors. DEQ says their certifications expire 10/25/25

I believe that building is owned by the State of MS for unpaid taxes. It’s listed on SOS website under tax forfeited properties. Anyone know if the city has authority to demolish? Is this the job of the state since they own it? Does the state have any duty to maintain tax forfeited properties?

Mayor Greenhorn strikes again. And now he hires his mole into Public Works. Kushville integrity.

Asbestos is racist

"Regardless of the previous report, typically an asbestos report is required before demo can begin on something as old as the Coca Cola plant."

Tell us something we don't know. I think that's the whole purpose of this thread, to point out that such an inspection is required and WAS DONE. How many do you think need to be done in order to proceed in accordance with state and federal law?

I would imagine any industrial plant built before about 1980 had/has asbestos.

Or, as many a plaintiff called it in hundreds of depositions I attended in the late 90s/early 2000s, “ambesta.”

I'm sure some Fortune 500 company is getting very impatient to put their headquarters there.

@934. If the inspection was done by a Licensed inspector, it is a valid inspection. Reinspections are not required for a commercial property. Schools? Yes.

If you consumed beverages bottled at this location between the years of 1949 and 2007, you may be entitled to compensation.

It's really hard to understand how Chokwe lost the election.

According to COJ Building Inspectors previous to 12/30/24 asbestos inspectors were certifying inspections with expired license. Many many asbestos inspections are being reinspected prior to demolition.

@9:40 AM Don't get your hopes up.

2010.
$400,000 grant money.
Where's the fucking money Harvey Johnson Jr.?

The money was spent.
Work performed between 10/01/2007 to 09/30/2010
Here is the report from 2010.
It's a list of 50 properties in the City of Jackson that were assessed with a link to a report on each property.

https://cimc.epa.gov/ords/cimc/f?p=121:19::::0:P0_GRANT_ID:69599107

That was an assessment grant that paid for the assessment that was completed in 2010.

I want to step back away from Lumumba’s incompetence and asbestos for a minute.

I just want to know WHY we stopped using the glass bottle deposit system? Imagine how environmentally friendly it was for those bottles to have a value to return. Imagine how much less plastic trash we would be dealing with.

And that system still works in A LOT of counties. Many nations in Latin American have both the glass bottle deposit system as well as plastic bottles.

There's asbestos in old commercial buildings? Who knew?

Who 'attends' a deposition? You either participated in one or you weren't there.

How much got damn stupider can the City Leadership in Jackson, Mississippi get? Start tearing down a building built in that era, and then question the possibility of asbestos being present there. Stupid, stupid, stupid…

@7:19 am — Well, COUNSELOR, it depended on which of the 50-60 clients one represented. Ours was a bit player that was almost always dismissed before trial, so our instruction was “Don’t ask any questions unless our name is mentioned.”

It almost never was.

Thanks for playing.

1:04….money. Glass is heavy and expensive to haul. Plastic and aluminum are light and cheap.

@7:09 but at the great cost of having microplastics in our brains, testicles, and ovaries.

This was probably just a ploy by the major: Create an "emergency", then give a quick no-bid contract to buddy in exchange for some kickback $$. Gotta pay those fancy attorneys so maybe he can stay out of Club Fed.

Returnable glass bottles are a good idea as lond as you don't have to handle and transport the returns. People can be so nasty and filthy. Look at their houses and cars, their glass bottles will be worse!

We can’t use glass bottles for two reasons. 1: you can’t hit a sign and make noise with a plastic bottle. 2: Bubba won’t have nowhere to spit his dip while he’s driving his gal with tats around.
