Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba held his very last press conference while in office today. The presser is streamed below.
* The press conference was held before Thalia Mara Hall.
* Mayor Lumumba announced the reopening of Thalia Mara Hall. It has been closed for nearly a year after microbial growth was discovered. Hizzoner thanked outside engineer Emad Al-Turk for his work on the project.
Mr. Al-Turk said all the remediation work has been approved and the auditorium is "cleared". The State Fire Marshal approved reopening. The engineer said a new fire curtain had been ordered and would be installed later this summer. A second chiller will be installed later this year.
* Mayor Lumumba thanked the citizens of Jackson for allowing him to serve as their Mayor as his wife stood by his side in this unique press conference.
* A reporter asked which project he held "most dear." The Mayor said he was proud of stopping the state takeover of JPS. He said he was grateful for the money secured for the water system.

If no new chillers have been installed, won't the "microbrial" growth return?
He’s irrelevant! He’s done so much damage to the city, it will take decades to recover. Hopefully he will get some federal jail time along with the D. A. Maybe they can room with Marshand Crisler
Narcissism at its best!
Time to watch him float off into the sunset on an FBI-sting yacht...
So desperate to take a victory lap.
Take a hike loser. You are and were an unmitigated failure.
Lying on the way out the door is certainly on brand. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, knows what he holds most dear is the Richards Disposal contract.
He is such a liar! He didn't "stop" jackshit. The governor and the state knew better than to get involved with JPS. They LAUGHED at the suggestion. I think this clown Lumumba is the biggest piece of shit elected official in the history of our state. What a LIAR.
After eight painful years of economic flight, constant water issues, and almost 1,000 murders (think about that number for a minute)...GOOD RIDDANCE!
My biggest accomplishments are getting my buddies a $30M settlement cut and hiding the other $60M
Jackson will never be the same ... I hope.
Unfreakingbelievable he says he's leaving the city better than he found it.
What's with the paunch and the last button on his shirt unbuttoned to accommodate it?
Mark my words: When a certain hostile nation regains control of our own, and its puppets are, once-again, propelled into prominent government positions, BabyChok, in advance of his being given some important job, will be credited, by Legacy Media, with SAVING all the things about Jackson, which he has deliberately allowed to fall into ruin. He will have "saved" the Airport, the traffic lights, the water system, the streets, Thalia Mara Hall....
That's called "skinnyfat", and it never means anything good. Carbs? Booze? Turbo-something-or-other: a dividend from getting lots of (as JP Sears would say it) "schmaxxschmines"? Who knows? Time will tell...
I hope the door hit him in the ass on the way out…

I see the stress belly is getting bigger. I wonder if he'll be up to size 40+ pants come next July.
"I leave you gentlemen now, and you will write it. You will interpret. That’s your right. But as I leave you I want you to know—just think how much you’re going to be missing. You won’t have Chowke to kick around anymore, because gentlemen, this is my last press conference..." Stolen from Richard Nixon 11/6/1962
The preening peacock fans his feathers a final time to no one’s interest.
What's with the "two tone" beard ?
Is his next gig with the (Just for Men) hair color company ?
5:46 wins the run-on sentence award.
One last “right” for the road! Right.
Mayor Elect Horn you’re next. Just don’t lie to our faces, have a little decency.
Bye Felecia-al-Shaboob!
not unlike a wino in appearance
