I hope the cooperative model will take root in Jackson. I will gladly join anyone who takes the lead to start a co-op with the goal of starting a movie theater, a high end restaurant , or filling other pertinent business gaps in our city market. Highway 80, Highway 18, and the Metro Mall area are prime areas for business development. First, we must believe we can do this, and we can. 500 - 1,000 small investments and the right management team is all that is needed. Investors (members) can be families or individuals when it relate to a co-op. 1,000 families OR individuals can contribute $100. We can create jobs, educate ourselves, build from the ground/lease and own it ------------------- OWN IT-----------------------. Co-op principles 1. one person one vote 2. annual meeting 3. constant education 4. same business goal... Co-ops include: Rainbow, Sunkist, utility companies, credit unions..
Through April 15, Lumumba raised $224,965.57 since announcing his intentions to seek the seat his father held until his death in late February. His rival in the April 22 runoff election, Ward 6 Councilman Tony Yarber, raised $158,681. BIG GAP
Common, an actor and Grammy-winning hip-hop artist, returns to Mississippi to magnify the voices of Canton Nissan workers who say the want fair pay and better working conditions.
#Along with fellow actor Danny Glover, Common has been to the Jackson area on several occasions to support the formation of a labor union at the Canton manufacturing facility of Nissan North America.
Yarber is my councilman. He has done a great job for our ward.
Love his point:
"Everybody jumps up and gets gung-ho about hotels," he said. "A hotel says it's going to produce 70 jobs, but what you're not telling me is that, of those 70 jobs, 45 of them are for housekeepers, you've got a few cooks, but there is no training program to ensure that housekeeper can one day become the front desk manager."
Jackson needs job opportunities that will lift us up wage wise.
