Jackson Jambalaya

I don't agree with her, but she might be the most articulate person in the room.

Struck a nerve it seems. Someone actually a bit articulate scares the shit out of those fools.

Make her the mayor of Jackson!

With speakers and a council like this it's no wonder why the Jackson Zoo can't get right! No matter how hard Mayor Horne tries.

I’m completely turned around on my thoughts about this whole interlude. Glad that citizens speak up. Had she practiced self control, she could’ve been an effective speaker. The twist is that if not for antics we would not have heard her message. Ironically effective.

She’s not wrong and if you’re posting this to ridicule her concerns, you’re an idiot.

idiots are protesting something that's never going to happen. a data center will never locate inside the city limits of Jackson. they're just parroting crap they read on Facebook and gotten themselves stirred up. Maybe she's trying to grift. Who knows

She was well prepared and very articulate.

Bet she’s a renter in one of the ghetto’s of ward 1 and assigned herself that important title. Another militant wacko with face covered and a hoodie.

We could be mining diamonds on Pluto and conquering other galaxies if we weren’t busy listening to and babysitting retards like this one.

Who funds her organization? We all think DOGE saved the US a bunch of wasted money, but somehow she has this silly do-nothing organization that pays her enough to afford that ridiculous bright pink hair-do. How is it possible?

Mr Hartley, after she left the podium you should have let it go. You made it worse, it was over! As you stated she knew the rules. After the meeting go to your car and get a chill pill. That little extra time was not going to hurt anyone. Just be glad someone is coming to the meetings and have concerns.

So she went over by 30 seconds and raised her voice. Who cares? Hartley would be better served to just call the next person and move on.

I completely agree with her. Jackson is just as good today as it was 40 years ago. All we have to keep doing is exactly the same thing, elect the same people, and not bring in any new industry or business and Jackson will stay just fine for another 40 years. Let Facebook be our guide.

As a citizen of an adjacent community that will benefit greatly from the presence of hyper-scale data-centers, I encourage this cow to continue with her quixotic campaign. Thank you, Madam Bell-cow, for bellowing and foaming at the mouth with your Chinese-inspired nonsense. Please continue.

Actually the casina project is a data center in disguise. Don't tell anyone.

She should have other concerns then like grocery stores and Dollar Generals leaving the city. I wonder what she contributes to the tax base?

Skyhook's wife, right?

Married to Skyhook. Lives in a gated white neighborhood. Very "oppressed."

Reason #562 why Jackson can't have the nice things like those huge Super Intelligence data centers and crypto mines!

As leaders we must have decorum and be compassionate. Shame on you Council President! Your comments after she left the podium wasn’t necessary. Now if you treat everyone that same way when they go over time, I’d suggest you just be patient. Why apply the rules when you’re in your feelings. Wonder would the 3 minutes apply if she was saying great things about the City Council.
We go to do better. Your comments were totally unacceptable and you know better as she was aware of the rule.

PS ain’t you getting paid!!!

Is she an orange jihadist who has never googled anything in the last year? I enjoy and respect AI frequently; Jackson's ability to negotiate AI development, not so much.

she runs a not for profit corporation. good ole not for profit corporations............the common thread that runs through every grifter, scam artist, and fraudster in the entire state.

Make her the new mayor

As has been said, she’s not wrong.

Thumbs down

Seems like about half these comments are from people that didn’t watch the video.

Do my eyes deceive me? Are there legitimate comments on here getting upset with HARTLEY? How in the world is anything he said wrong at all? Him, Foote, and Horhn are the only ones serious with voices of reason in that building!

328 - you need a new watch, or else you are counting your seconds like the author of Genisis counted days.

And no, Hartley was not out of line. He tried, politely and appropriately, to address the time limit and she ignored him; because to her, what she had to say was more important than listening to him or following the established rules.

No Hartley should not have let it drop, Just like in raising little kids, if you tell them properly how to act and they ignore you, once you get their attention you need to correct them again so that they get the message.

Both she and hubby are Lumumba family devotees. You can be sure that Rukia is lurking in the shadows.

7:32pm I totally agree however little kids were not speaking at this council meeting.

She might not be wrong…We as a civilization are paying cell phone, cable and streaming apps bills once a month for what ? Paying for our own incarciration

Where was Stokes?

Very articulate. lol. That’s hilarious… more like a spoiled brat teenager that is grounded. Shitty attitude and low IQ

As Leaders we are held to Higher Standards! The Council President just didn’t want to listen to no woman bitching. He just wasn’t having it! He showed his true Self. Not the Kind and for the People Self. Mam you did exactly what you intended to do, Rattle and get your point across! It made News, Awareness!

@7:29 I know right! We should celebrate all the awareness achieved here with an awareness awareness march ending with a no-economic-development balloon release and fundraiser for her nonprofit.

The rest of the Council Members had their heads bowed.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. I can’t think of a thing I’ve ever agreed with her on previously, but her points were put across articulately and forcefully. How many permanent jobs to Jackson’s residents? The answer is a number, even a number within a small range, but not a word salad. What guarantees do Jacksonians have that they’re never going to hear, “Ah, well, yeah, ha ha, we did originally intend to have closed-loop cooling, but, unfortunately, that technology proved unworkable for Our Purposes and we had to revert to less eco-friendly, Jackson-friendly methods”? I don’t say there’s any impropriety here, but there once was a standard of “even the appearance of impropriety” in play. That standard is extinct. If there were a politician on the left or the right I could trust, I wouldn’t be so apprehensive about this latest harbinger of The Next Big Thing That’s Going To Send Mississippi Racing To The Top Of The Heap.

Sometimes reading comments here, it’s as if Bob Dole has risen from the dead and was given a smartphone and an Internet connection.

Contributing to the meeting more than usual...

I think she has nothing to worry about as far as any company spending millions in Jackson. Horhn understands that, especially with the community organizer nonprofit activist people like her spouting internet talking points. However, Mayor Horhn treads lightly so as to not antagonize those folks. They are pure grifters, and Jackson will not Rise until the grifters have sucked out all they can and moved to another city.
