Jackson Jambalaya

Might as well change the name One Lake to Lake Lot-a-Dookey now.

Treatment plant? We don't need no stinkin' treatment plant when we can dump the boo boo into the local creeks, right?

It’s how they do it in third world countries and that’s what they want to turn Jackson into, so what’s the problem again?

I recently have wondered why the stench on I-55 at Savannah has not been so odiferous. There hasn’t been much boo boo water flowing to it. Also, Stankin Rankin got their own Treatment Plant so that has cut out a lot of the odor. That plant was never designed to treat that much anyway. I guess Loomumba thinks the boo boo water will mix with the river and creeks and no one will notice.

so…why can’t the state take over jackson? seems like an environmental catastrophe has unfolded..

If a corporation dumped raw sewage into a creek, there would be a huge fine and possible jail time.

It’s a “perception “ of raw boo boo. Not real raw boo boo. Ask the Mair.

Prince Chowke can't smell it from his gated compound so it's only a perception of boo boo, right?

Jackson is the mirror image of most towns in India.

This is textbook of environmental racism.

Democrats have it too easy.

greasy boo-boo

Lumumba and his weasels have buttered Jackson with layers of greasy green slime and diarrhea, demanding their victims pay for their own demise: this punk is not a mayor, he's an undertaker.

Agree with 11:26. There should be liability for gross negligence on the City and even city employees. Can’t imagine a more poorly run city on so many fronts, Will be a challenge for anyone to turn the momentum.

This is pollution of the Pearl River on a massive scale.

Raw sewage is fragile.

Why should I care, as someone who lives north of the Rez?
They voted for Antard Ludumba so I say, let them drink turbids!

All joking aside, I assume everyone - regardless of political ideology - HAS to acknowledge the utter disaster Jackson has become, right? Pick any issue, ANY issue, and it's being handled in the worst way possible (or, more likely, not at all!) Crime, water, sewer, streets, garbage, city-owned buildings.....you name it, and this completely inept administration is running it into the ground! There's really a lack of words to describe just how BAD these folks are at running a city....unless it's by design. You'd almost have to assume it's on purpose for things to go down this badly, this consistently!

Now, in this particular instance, it's sort of like having an incorrigible child: if an adult (the EPA) lets the child (the administration of Jackson) continue to get away with their actions (or inactions), they're never going to change anything, because the child and the child's culture doesn't see any problem with what they're doing.

No, throughout history, we've observed that you generally get more of what you allow.

Councilman Stokes can tell exactly where the raw boo boo came from, the Mair’s house. Just a little humor! All the city has to do is give all residents a slop jar ( a container of urinating and defecating ) Then hire an out of state contractor to pick it up along with the garbage.

Or the mair can hire them dope boys, they are allegedly on the payroll anyway. Just a little humor! No Mayor would do that! I need to stop spreading this silly outrageous humor, its a joke, not true!

I got to go take my meds.

For all the non-engineers out there, this is roughly half the size of the Reservoir... in raw poo poo...

Not a peep from left wing environmental groups. Wonder why. Guess it doesn’t fit their narratives.

Being Jackistan's mayor is like being a plumber; all you need to know is that boo boo flows downhill and payday is on the first. (In the case of Chowke, payday is much more frequent, right?)

@12:45 wrong

21 million gallons is roughly 2.81 million cubic feet, or roughly 64.5 acre-feet.

So it's a volume equal to about 64.5 acres at 1 foot of depth, or 13 acres at 5 feet of depth, or 6.5 acres at 10 feet of depth.

If this were to happen just one day in a majority black ward in a republican run city CNN, MSNBC, Al & Jessie would marching in the streets. On the other hand if you call them out for their total incompetence you my friend are a racist.

This is fake news. Jackistan doesn't have 52,000,000 gallons of water to flush anywhere.

Something is bad wrong when a state will allow anyone to dump a lake of raw sewage into their creeks and rivers. Not only is this a complete failure of a city it has grown to a complete failure of a state to protect their waterways. How would this be handled if some oil company dumped that much raw sewage into the gulf south of Biloxi and Gulfport? That is exactly where this lake of shit is going.

Can we get a burn pit?

@12:45
Barnett Res has 33,000 acres X avg 12 feet deep; 43,560 sq ft in one acre, 7.48 gallons in one cubic foot, so:
(33,000 X 43,560 X 12) cubic ft X 7.48 (gal/cu ft) = over 129 Billion gallons in Barnett Res.

So, YES Jackson is full of shit, but NO, not equal to half the Res.

Where in the hell are the Feds? This polluter is criminal.

And I thought the Mayor was the one full of crap!

Will the last person to leave Jackistan please turn off the water, errr, lights?

They want 172000 refugees leaving Jackson for the suburbs.

@1:23pm - You have to remember where the kid learned math… JPS

6 years in office just about, and this……not to mention they have said they are still in negotiations with the EPA over the language of the consent decree…..garbage contract…. At what point does this administration (Fools) come under investigation??? They are doing NOTHING!

Thanks to the law of pipe leaks, that which is valuable will escape (ie: water to be sold as nominally potable), that which has no value (or costs to treat- ie: sewage) will increase.

Probably Jackson experiences more storm and groundwater infiltration into the sewer system than it loses.

No worries! The mayor has called in some experts to tell him what he wants to hear!

Well, when you have a shitshow like this administration, what did you expect to happen?

Has the federal government not yet learned that a consent decree is of little value in confronting the incompetence of HiJx? Gonna need a new playbook.

The comparison isn’t Detroit (enough regional money to ensure it survived in some functioning form), the comparisons are Flint (obviously), Gary, IN and Richmond, CA. A superior level of blending incompetence, indifference and inability to accept the reality of the problems. Of course poverty doesn’t help, but poverty tends to follow closely with the 3 i’s.

That such is the existence of our Capital City/County should concern all true Mississippian’s, regardless of labels.

There are never any actual consequences for the incompetence (purposeful or not) of Jackson’s leadership. There may be fines, but the taxpayers of Jackson will get stuck with that bill. So, the city of Jackson continues to have more and more problems. It appears that no one gives a crap.

Get the Pearl downriver systems aware of this and they will take care of the Jackson problem.

If Lumumba were a conservative, the EPA would have had the DOJ already raid the City and place it under their control.

The Mayor is a RINO and a graduate of JPS . That will hurt his feelings!! Maybe All Hat Gibson can solve the crap problem since he has solved the crime issue and is proposing expanding his well water into the Capitol area. That Cowboy is a real problem solver. Can’t wait till he is Governor—Not. Ever notice how many of Feels appointments have issues?

It appears that no one gives a crap.

The crap is in the creek.

52 millions gallons! That's a mouth full.

turbids are potential voters?

Bill Gates is planning a trip to the wilds of urban jackistan to educate and donate. photos ops for all

Blackened catfish is now being served at all of Jackson’s finest restaurants.

"That such is the existence of our Capital City/County should concern all true Mississippian’s, regardless of labels"

I'm concerned.
As someone who does not live and vote in Jackson, how do you propose we make the citizens who can actually effect change become concerned too?

Remind me never to move back to MS, and if I do, it will have to be UPSTREAM of Jackson . . .

5:17 PM
Realistically? Gentrify.

Hmmmm….this Remonds me of the old 1970’s Airwick commercials that said, “ This is a good place for a stick up!” And That Applies to the smell and the Crime. Maybe even bring Sandy Duncan back also with her Shower To Shower Jingle, “A Sprinkle A Dayyyyyyy Helps Keep Odor Awaaaayyyyyyy….Have You Had Your Sprinkle Todaaaayyyyy?” The JFD can hand out bottled water and Shower To Shower Powder and a couple of Stick Ups. Limit 1 per car.

If I were unfortunate to be living south of Jackson I'd be suing the crap outta this administration. Did they ever alert town, cities and individuals of this issue? BP and many others have paid for ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTERS. Sad, sad, sad.

"Get the Pearl downriver systems aware of this and they will take care of the Jackson problem."

I'm thinking like the Gov of Texas bussing the illegals to New York and Washington D.C.---Pump the filthy water out of the Pearl River into tanker trucks and transport it to the Ross Barnett Reservoir.....so it can be run through the Jackson water system that seldom works. Chowke would throw a fit.

At what point does this become a criminal issue?

On the morning of Saturday, April 16, 2022, myself and several other homeowners on my street were affected by a collapsed main on Poplar Street in Belhaven. (I did not find this event in the City’s report.)

Along with this omission, I found something else that doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe someone here can tell me how the following two statements from Section 2.1, page 2.1 can BOTH be true. Or, kindly point out that I misread something.

1. Of the 36 reported events that occurred at 36 locations on private property in Q2, the CAUSE of was determined to be PROBLEMS on the PRIVATE LATERALS and the crews notified residents.

(So, if I’m correct, the City purports that 100% of private property SSOs for the quarter were caused by private property problems.) So how can the next statement be true —

2. 14 of of these 36 events were caused by problems in the City's sewer system and are included in this report. Seven (7) of these events caused by problems in the City's sewer system are still ongoing.

Did I misread, misinterpret, and fail to observe the Poplar Street main collapse in the report? Or, is the City erroneously reporting data?

While the Sierra Club and other environmental groups rage about pumps in the Delta to alleviate flooding and save wildlife, they ignore a Democrat administration destroying waterways with sewage. If it was a private business dumping just 21 gallons of the raw stuff in a river Louie Miller would be on the front page, yet the Democrats can dump 21 MILLION gallons and there’s no comment.

"This is pollution of the Pearl River on a massive scale." Yet people downstream still use the Pearl for recreation and food supply. Also a source of pollution in the Gulf. So glad I live upstream.

+1,000,000

Louie Miller is a total fraud.

Well, try to pass a bill giving MDEQ more power to handle something like this and see how far it will get.

Jackson-The Shitty City

It’s Schitt$s Creek.
