Jackson Jambalaya

Another one bites the dust. Soon, all the big water users will find it advantageous to dig their own wells and get off the city's water(or lack thereof). And we all know they city as a whole wont be able to keep it going just off of residential rooftops.

Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to have a plan "B" for "fire safety" also.

What ever happened to the lead in the water lawsuit against the City?

At some point, the city will pass an ordinance prohibiting the drilling of private wells in the city.

More dividends from the outstanding leadership of the Lumumba regime.

Suggestion:

Mr. Mayor you need to file a lawsuit against Millsaps to keep them out of your aquifer.

Lumumba doesn’t care until people build there own source. He just doesn’t understand that people have options much like Baptist hospital did under Harvey… Baptist nicely asked many times what an we do to help with the water situation and Harvey ignored them and said just pay your bill. Well they said stuff that and dug there own and then he called them. I found it funny.

Sounds like more of that rascist environmental inequality that we heard about recently.

Veto this Mayor-

And now the Dictator knows. THIS WILL BE THE LAST of this....look for Lumbum to dictate that no one will ever do this again.

Can I get on Millsap's system?

Millsaps most pressing problem is not potable drinking water. The environment they are now fighting to to survive in is of their own creation. When they figure that out, they might have a chance to stay where they are. If they don’t change their core beliefs they will be destroyed by their own hand.

The State Legislature essentially gave Jackson Leadership a no confidence vote by not giving them any money in the great Government giveaway and really can you blame them. Like Many have said you could give this current bunch 500 million to fix the water sewer system and in 10 years all the mnoney would be gone and little or no improvements would be made. The state should really take over the city. But Baby Chok would never allow that as it would reflect badily on his political career. It would be the best thing for Jackson but when has anyone in government ever worried about what is best for the people

Millsaps is doing fine. You right wingers forget that the most two prosperous places in the USA are the two farthest to the left. That is California and New York. Mississippi is dead fucking last and you Dunning-Krueger lol-bertarian dunces think you have it all figured out!

10:35 Agree. And the killer is that the state DID give
money to private schools and colleges for their infrastructure.

11:15 : Lol, using Cali and NY as examples of prosperity is cute. Get back to making my coffee before I call the manager.

The two week water outage during the ice storm last year, all due to the city's failure to properly maintain the water plant, was the last straw for Millsaps.

Someone should invite the New York Times, the one who pushed his water meltdown as racist, to Jackson to let them see firsthand how incompetent the mayor is. They won' take you up on it due it not fitting their narrative, but we can say we tried. Drake Jr. won't correct anything either. They just put it out there and never correct anything. Much akin to the Hunter Biden laptop story. Push the narrative and then clam up and shut down. Much like the water system in Jackson.

Cancel hizzoner Lord Chowke.

@11:15
Born in NY and raised outside Long Island. Loved in San Diego for 11 years
Live in Mississippi for the past 9 years
I can assure you that California and Ny lost more population than any other state. By the way they have moving companies set up in California specifically for those families going to Texas and Florida
Texas is sick of California residents already. Believe me California would have brought in more revenue if they charged an exit tax. Yes businesses are fleeing that state that was once a great place. No longer though.

Now, now children.....let's not call each other names.

A school with proven history of drunken behavior will most likely have flagrant sabotage of said well and pumps. Not a great move.

@12:19 PM
Agreed. All the anons Jackson Jambalaya commenters should come together and cancel Mayor Lumumba.

Do you see how crazy that sounds? Lol. You're "nobodies."

Millsaps should sell water to Belhaven area residents

Lol @1115, someone must have never lived in New York or California, just parroting typical liberal propaganda. Please explain why those states are losing people and businesses? Why do the wack jobs leave their states and to come to normal states, spread their disease, and ruin it for the rest of us? Because they can’t afford or deal with the crap they voted for!

Years ago there was a story/rumor about a wealthy alumnus offering Millsaps a large parcel of land and cash on top of it if they would move Millsaps out of Jackson. Millsaps chose not to take it.

Last night I was watching the "Last Dane" documentary about the Bulls and was reminded that Portland passed on Jordan in the '84 draft so they could take Sam Bowie.

I wonder who regrets their decision more?

I mean Sam Bowie WAS a pretty good player and Jordan only played for 13 or 14 seasons, so I guess the negative consequences of that decision were limited where as with Millsaps the possibilities are "limitless".

Smart move. They should have their own water supply. UMC has their own water, electricity, etc. Nothing to see here.

No one on the frontage roads in Jackson get a water bill.

"They should have their own water supply. UMC has their own water, electricity, etc. Nothing to see here."

Totally different. Running out of safe water at UMMC could kill patients, lab animals, ruin experiments, etc. That's a lot different than cancelling a Philosophy lecture.

The hospitals did this years ago.

NY and CA are losing so much out-migrating population that they could face loss of US congressional seats, so the WH is shipping thousands of invader peasants from TX to NY and CA secretly, in the middle of the night, landing in remote parts of runways to avid Fox News cameras.

We used to pass the hat in sunday school to help raise money for water wells in third world countries now "we is them"

There was a lot more to it than just canceling a philosophy lecture. Sanitary conditions quickly went downhill, with unflusable toilets and students unable to bathe, shave, or wash their clothes. Drums of water and buckets had to be brought in for toilet flushing. Food service in the cafeteria was a challenge as well.

The administration did arrange for student showers at the Flowood YMCA. All in all the college incurred great expense, much of it due to the city's ineptness.

6:25, you do realize you sound like a raving conspiracy-theorist lunatic, right? And before you accuse me of being "one of the damn liberals," I'm most assuredly not.

Milsaps sux! JSU, Belhaven ordered facilities in time to handle the water crisis, Milsaps Did Not! They had poor leadership and would not make decisions to help themselves, the Worst Leadership Ever, Unbelievable! I am not kidding. Soo poorly run. They can blame the Mayor or whoever they want BUT they had no restrooms or showers because they waited when the other schools and busineses ordered and had equipment for students and staff. All were in need BUT it was Milsaps lack of leadership and lack of ordering that caused their problems. Bel haven and Jackson State had facilities when Milsaps did not, FACT

Smart move on their part. They need to start buying property that surrounds campus and push away the crime. Offer faculty free homes in Midtown. They have to stabilize the surrounding area or it’s going to fail. Yale did this in New Haven and it worked. USC is starting to
do this also. MC is doing this in Clinton. But this is a really smart move.

10:10, I seriously doubt if you know anything about the leadership, contingency planning, or emergency operational capabilities of any of the schools you mention. You can't even correctly spell Millsaps.
