Jackson Jambalaya

Boggling. I'm in NE Jackson / Fondren and if my water pressure isn't back to 100%, it's just short of it.

Broad Street is on a hill.

You are right though. I live in your area and had low pressure for a few days but never lost water. Still could do whatever I needed to do.

Jeff Good has spoken. Awaiting his mayoral endorsement. "Big Mama" might be a good pick.
She certainly is use to dealing with Jackson's "Raw Boo Boo."

jeff good should go talk to stokes. it would give stokes more ammo.. stokes could then even say that 'other' side of town doesnt have water either...

Jeff,this could be karma for all the vegetables that you give away from Mexico and claim to be Mississippi grown.

The restaurant business is hard enough without having to deal with this crap every few months - someone explain to me why Jeff Good hasn't moved yet.

Tell Jeff Good to bring his restaurants to Gluckstadt. We have dependable water and sewer up here. Also low crime. Traffic is an issue though.

It would not be good for Stokes's chosen narrative if "the other side of town" also doesn't have water. So he ignores that fact and chooses to continue to act as though "Fondren and Eastover" are treated differently. I live in Fondren and was without water for 11 days until today. During his presser he made a comment about how did Belhaven have water. A reporter told him he lives and Belhaven and didn't have water. Stokes ignored him and claimed "that's not what I heard." He pushes his chosen narrative. That narrative includes the woefully misplaced idea that the white parts of town get things fixed faster. That simply isn't true.

If Jeff had not opposed 1% tax to be applied to restaurants and hotels for infrastructure improvement then maybe we could have paid for repairs? See he wanted you to put a penny in a pot hole at every biz but his.

Karma is a thing

I love Bravos. We'll be back soon. I appreciate their efforts to provide good food in a third world country.

This is becoming a humanitarian crisis. Stoke has been in office how long? Stokes blames a one term Mayor? The Feds and the State needs to take control of Jackson before it become a serious health issue.

Tell Jeff Good to bring his restaurants to Gluckstadt.

I love Gluckstadt!

JACKSON SMELLS LIKE BOO BOO !!!

Can we talk about how Mayor AllTalkNoAction trots out the poor Jackson Public Works Director out there to deliver the bad news? Just watching this guy talk to reporters makes me feel bad for him.

Sal Mookies Madison was one of the few restaurants open last week during the ice mess.

Boombalumba basically throwing in the towel now saying he can't do his job without state and national taxpayer funded bail outs.

The man can not lead.

How many years has the water crisis (pipes freezing and busting every time there is a hard freeze resulting in many Jacksonian being without water for multiple days) in Jackson been going on?

What's most disgusting is that the mayor should have started on DAY 1 focusing on NOTHING BUT INFRASTRUCTURE. He doesn't care about crime so the only other immediate need is infrastructure. His mentality of "talk about it" then "talk about it some more" then "hire someone to study it" is why he should NEVER hold public office or work for the government again.

He blames everyone else for his failure to address the situation, and he and his sister have channeled SO MUCH MONEY into wasteful avenues. If he truly cared about the infrastructure, all the other nonsense would have fallen by the wayside. Like his predecessors, it's easy to just blame the last person. He would have been a f---ing hero if he had addressed the infrastructure and found the grants and funding to replace it. Hell, Bezos' ex was giving away BILLIONS!! If I were Drake, I would have been all over asking for a donation/grant from her.

The citizens of Jackson should run him out of City Hall. (I mean that literally!) Like, no more press conferences where he and his cronies lay out false timelines and excuses... NOT ANOTHER WORD from his lying ass.

On the flip side, I'm beginning to see the bragging of large tax returns from people affected by this situation. Many of these same people do not actively contribute to the tax base. I wonder how many of them would be willing to forego that earned income credit to have an updated water system? My guess is ZERO. (For reference, in 2019, $70,000,000,000 (BILLION) in EIC was granted. Per the IRS, MS accounts for over $1B of this. Drake said we need a BILLION... well, there it is!)

Where's BLM? Didn't they raise $90,000,000 just in 2020 alone? Just imagine what a concerted fundraising effort to support majority black communities to better their infrastructures and qualities of life could accomplish!

And before any of you attack me about appropriated money (EIC), that's EXACTLY why our government can't accomplish anything productive. The red tape and restrictions leaving certain monies just sitting there while other funds cannot meet needs is idiotic and a failure of leadership.

And if I see one more article praising that joke Bennie... does the fool even know the capital of his state literally reeks of boo boo right now?!? (Kenny said it, not me.)

JACKSON SMELLS LIKE BOO BOO AMD TINKLE WATER. OR SHOULD I SAW WAWWTAH

Classy response from Jeff and Dan. Hey,S**t happens; we prepared for it, and we'll move ahead.

No pointing fingers, no looking to the g'vment for a bail out.

These guys have put their money and their effort into making a success in Jackson. That speaks louder than words.

The folks at Barrelhouse have to be pissed given they have no water and Walker's does.

@8:17 you must have missed when kf posted the list of recipients of the 1st set of, I forget what they called it, but the free govt covid money. I distinctly remember ole Jeff's mangy bean was on there and I believe I remember broadstreet too. Jeff is gorging himself at the govt trough every chance he gets. He is just too busy boasting of what he does for others to discuss meaningless topics like what others do for him.

Clear, clean and tasty..... Bearcreek for the win!

Jeff Good not looking for a GubMint handout? Did he not get PPP? Does he actively oppose the Restaurant Act welfare?

Every multi restaurant corporation, up to 20 Manhattan or Jackson restaurants, gets the GubMint money at 400 dollars each for every Mississippian, man, woman and child. And since half don't pay FIT, it'll be 800 bucks for each one of working stiffs.

How long do you think it's taking lawyers to break up 1000 chain groups into batches of 20? Just like PPP. The rich get richer.

Of COURSE he's "not worried." His lifestyle, his social circle, lives off the rigged system.

Spare me that Good, Blumenthal, St John, etc, all rich guys, aren't looking for Uncle Sugar to bail out the rich yet again. St John is the corporate cheerleader for restaurant holding groups in the Wall Street Journal.

PuhLeeze. This blog is the favorite of the Cut GubMint hypocrites.

That their teacher is a gettin' rich. Where's mah GubMint check?
