Jackson Jambalaya

The so-called crisis, which was never a crisis to begin with, has been resolved satisfactorily by Mayor Lumumba. I am thankful for his leadership.

This seems to imply that Jackson received one of those "blessings."

Oh, I get it now. The city of Jackson has to get permission to fix the water problem from the EPA. This is some of the worst rubbish I have heard in ages. Fix the problem and quit accusing everybody under the sun.

It will take President Biden and 2 billion dollars to fix this antiquated mess.

Thank God for Joe Biden.

Otherwise Mississippi businesses / restaurants / people would have ceased to exist.

Go Joe!

Potential sticking point:

Section 3 paragraph 39 - "Within thirty (30) days of Effective Date (...) Respondent shall provide the EPA with a Comprehensive Staffing Plan. This Plan shall include staff's primary duty location (i.e. either O.B. Curtis or J.H. Fallwell), role(s), and years of experience in that role along with including date of original certification(s). Additionally, Respondent's Plan shall identify how it will ensure that a Class A operator is onsite at all times, including any backup plans in case staff are unavailable"

For over a month, a bridge has been collapsed on Adkins Drive, which is near Old Canton Rd JPD Precinct 4 HQ at one end and a JFD Firehouse on Ridgewood Rd at the other end.

In other words, Adkins Dr., which is a major artery in NE Jackson, connects Ridgewood Rd to Old Canton Rd and enables emergency services from both ends to access adjacent neighborhoods efficiently.

But the bridge has been Lumumbated. It needs no consent decree nor five year plan from Central Planning at City hall.

The bridge needs to be engineered and replaced pronto or declared a monumental fifty foot pot hole and named for the mayor.

Antwar's Fishing Hole? Chokwe's Dystopian Ditch? Lumumba's Snake pit?

Must be a sale on trolling motors today

" It will take President Biden to fix this".

Ya Think !

I honestly hope Biden will try anything to help repair Jackson's water, street, & crime issues.

But when this guy can't even read a basic teleprompter at a news conference ... I'm pretty sure he will not be able to do anything about anything.

They should send out a copy of the consent document to all Jackson water customers. It should make us all feel a lot better.

They can mail it out with the next boil water notice. Thanks a lot.

@5:45pm - You think they’ll actually be able to read it, let alone understand it?

Biden...hahah....cares about ....Mississippi....hahhoooohheeeeha...whew!! Man. Y'all don't get out much do you? We are a sugar crystal in an ocean that like salt. Or pepper. But not sugar. Take the measly 6 ECV we have to offer and keep dreaming,

Weren't they already given 10 years to do all that over 5 years ago?

Kick that can again and again.

Who is consenting to do what?

About like the consent decree between the county and the feds over the jail. Nothing changed.

A consent decree, in the context of government-speak, means the targeted party promises to change its ways in exchange for not being prosecuted. It's just that simple.

The most popular form of government consent decrees is found in the arm-twisting, jack-boot activities of the EEOC. In 99% of those cases, the employer is guilty of nothing, but consents to nonsense just to get the agency off your ass.

Call and find out the procedure to get a bridge replaced or repaired.

You ( and most all of those commenting) need to learn what powers exist in elected offices...be it the mayor or a council or even a Governor in this State.

Many of the problems in MS start with a badly written Constitution ( compare to other States) and poor lawmaking.

Inefficiency and corruption are the continuing price we pay.

Who is consenting to do what?

King Mayor Lumumba is consenting to spend money Jackson doesn't have while King Mayor Lumumba's apologists are hoping that Dementia Joe Biden actually remembers how to ride that white horse.

Many of the problems in MS start with a badly written Constitution ( compare to other States) ...

Point out specifics. Pick just one state to make it easy. Put up.

So the state constitution forbids the government to repair a bridge that is out?

I did not know that. Thanks for enlightening us.

In government, is anyone EVER accountable for ANYTHING?
