Jackson Jambalaya

You are so obviously the best candidate. Good fortune with your efforts!

Smartest candidate of the bunch. Best video of any released this campaign. With actual facts and sound reasoning. Didn't try to scam the voters with some cock and bull story about 3 foot floods destroying houses time and again. Didn't act like Sgt. Schultz pretending he knew nothing while his wife was getting fined $350,000 for double billing the Federal government.

But he did relocate his business to Ridgeland! One less business paying taxes and driving Jackson's economy. Now, he wants to lead Jackson? I am sure he is a great guy and very capable; but, how can you ask for a Jackson resident to vote for you when YOU left Jackson! You cannot lead from behind, he should know that.

No one running is perfect; but, people like you (6:19) are why a lot of good, successful people stay away from public office. You are not doing your favored candidate any good by being an attack dog!

The only two candidates I have experience with are Ashby Foote and Charles Barbour. Foote is a very smart guy. Charles was good a picking a last name, but that's about it.

Barbour won't even bother showing up at a council meeting. Carson will give in to every demand that other council members suggest. Higher taxes increase funding for JPS by increased tax mill in NE Jackson etc...

Gimme a break. The Ward 1 Councilperson is powerless to stop any and every "demand". Powerless.

Ashby is the best candidate in the race. Too bad most of his votes are in Margaret Barrett's ward.

Have you looked at the heading over this ad?

Carson is too late regarding 44% water loss. The $90,000,000 Seiman's Contract is supposed to accomplish that.

Roads will come, as will drainage, regardless of who is elected. The new public works director probably has something to say about his ideas but I am sure she will patiently listen to whoever is on the Council.

The Sieman's contract is a joke. Where have you been?

It may be a joke, but it is performance based and if it does not accomplish an agreed level of savings, Siemans will be paying the City of Jackson. I agree with you; it is not the best contract the City has entered into. The new meters are more accurate so far. Previously, around 6 out of every 10 tested were reading a lower than actual usage. This not only under-billed on water but also wastewater amounts.

Anyone who thinks Jackson's 40+% of water wastage is due to the old meters doesn't remotely know what they don't know.

Nowhere in 9:46 pm comment did it say meters were the only reason for water loss. Rarely is a problem as large as Jackson's water supply a single solution effort. There are more items than meters being currently addressed. And there will be more needed after the Siemen's Contract.
I still feel Carson's harping on the 44% water loss is misleading as much of this is currently being repaired and/or replaced. Veracity in campaigning matters to many.

I still feel Carson's harping on the 44% water loss...

Please show us where Carson has been "harping" on the water loss. Link?

I'm sure he is a very qualified, nice guy but how in the world can he convince businesses to move to Jackson when he moved his own business to Ridgeland?

1:32 give it up. Nobody but you gives a shit.

How do you know?

Because the douchbags relentless posts NEVER get any feedback. Duh.

Me thinks you are the same disgruntled blogger who was probably hired to play antagonist for Cochran. Two or more great Jacksonians have their business located just north of County Line Rd. in that area: Jim Barksdale and Ashby Foote. That does not disqualify them, in my opinion, from serving and supporting the City.

Because the douchbags relentless posts NEVER get any feedback. Duh.

Except from you. DUH.

Okay, I live in Madison, I own a business in Jackson and I think Foote is the best candidate and would benefit Jackson.

Anyone worried about Foote's office being in Ridgeland to the point that they would vote for an inferior candidate needs to realize that they are part of Jackson's problems.

Why would anybody running for a job in Jackson blow money out the window (or his ass) on advertisements on this blog site?
