Jackson Jambalaya

This is the best self evidence of Lumumba reign of incompetent terror. Declarations of emergencies are now form letters with blanks to fill in the dates.

I have no sympathy for Jackson. They elected and re-elected this destructor.

The $400,000 EPA hire, Mr. Henifin, needs to take the bull horn from Lil Choke, whose words are worthless.

Of course he did, so he can grift some more federal and/or state money. Right?

The poor souls in Jackson can't even flush their toilets
(yet again).

And Antar's response is to issue a "proclamation" with

Five: "Whereaz".

One: "Therefore".

One: "Further Ordered".

One: "Finally Ordered".

And last but not least, and (I think this might be his favorite)

One: "By my hand"

Only thing missing is "right" ?
(RIGHT ??)

What is a local emerency? Is that something Marxist dictators create?

He's working hard to get jackson a new water treatment plant. The current one has lasted not even 30 years total? How fast will his incompetence kill the next plant?

Emerency, huh? Those Harvard educations hard at work.

I bet he wishes he didn't play politics and run the state out of the unified command system. The state has not been gone a month and they can't keep the water on.

Wouldn’t it be easier for hizzoner to declare when a state of emergency doesn’t exist?

where is my NE Jackson water location?

Guess it is time for the Governor to step back up and 'fix' the system for hizzonner. He's now had it for a month and four days, and has to declare another emergency.

We thought the number of boil water notices issued within a year's time would be the record setter that made news; but it looks like the number of "state of emergencies' issued by Lumumba will get the prize.

And no, 7:24, the Second phase plant at OB Curtis has only been in operation for 15 years; it was put into service in 2007 - with the intent that it produce 25 MGD and allow for the retirement of Fewell. And just like Ted Heflin's idea of being the 'first of its kind in the country' with his idea of basing your water bill on real estate taxes rather than useage, Harvey the Planner bought into letting the membrane plant be 'the first of its kind in the country' when the snake oil salesmen sold him that bill of goods.

But, while the membrane plant never lived up to its promised potential, at least it ran and produced some water - until hizzoner decided that income wasn't necessary for an enterprise fund to operate and told his flock that they didn't have to pay their water (and sewer and garbage) bill - resulting in the maintenance and regular operations of the plant to cease.

Now, he can award whatever contracts he likes - or so he thinks, following his debacle on the garbage contract(s) issued under his state of emergencies that he created and then declared.

But - he is our Mayor. We are supposed to be happy that we have the most radical city in the country and our Mayor is feted around the country where they can admire his wonderful new clothes. Only us here at home realize that the Emporer has no clothes - and we get to see him in all his natural born glory.

Part of the new word order. With Chuck in charge it’s only uphill from here. So sad for the few of us still in Jackson. On another topic. Still waiting to hear how Chuck killed our kind giraffe.

The same town that doesn’t answer 911 is going to answer 311?

The state of emergency was declared when Lubumble was sworn into office.

One idea floated by the mayor is to charge for water based on value of the home. Since my Jackson property taxes are over $6000, I would like complimentary bottled water delivered to my home daily until the latest crisis is over. I assume the Gov will need to take over. Again.

The residents and leadership in Jackson did nothing but bitch and complain last time the state stepped in. Let them fix their own water.

8:47 for the win.

I'm old but I remember when we had athletic tournaments at Battlefield Park and Christmas Parades downtown. What has happened? No other country in the world is dealing with such rampant mayhem. Why do we stand for it? In what name?

10:20
That's the Jackson I remember when I moved here in 1970 to go to college. Indeed, what has happened to us?

9:51, I disagree. I thinks it’s the leadership and a handful of residents connected to the leadership that bitch and complain.

Wherefor what are 'normal business hours' for the City of Jackson.

Whereas asking for someone who can't get an answer when dialing 911.

He is pandering to the national main stream media as this made the national news.

According to NBC the other night, this is all a result of the State not helping the city. Nevermind that the corrupt and completely incompetent leadership, elected by low information votors, ran it into the ground. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/epa-investigating-state-of-mississippi-for-handling-of-jackson-water-crisis/ar-AA15Af1m

Just wondering if once Jack town gets the $650 million from the current democratic administration in DC, do you think they can they purchase a tarp & cover the roof of that little pumping station (or whatever it is) on the spillway? I know it's asking too much for a new roof - just asking for a tarp. Just an idea as to how to spend $25 of the $650 million before it's unaccounted for.

Press Release
Miami, December 27, 2022: Mayor CAL of Jackson has announced that the state of Mississippi has once again left the city "holding the bag" with regard to their water treatment facilities and delivery systems.

This is not news; it is the same old thing. All the comments are the same old thing. Move on.

The national media is again revealed as little more than left-wing woke propaganda engines - LIARS.

If you must listen to it, everything else they spew should be judged accordingly.

9:19, I'm with you. That hole in that pump house on the Rez is symbolic of this city's administrations inability to fix anything.

What 9:26 said. Rinse. Repeat.

The mayor is nothing but a lazy bum panhandling on the corner of Marx and Woke.

Of that 650 million dollars, they should start with putting a thousand dollars in one dollar bills into each of the treatment plants, then fly over with infra red technology to find the "leaks" down the line. For that matter, I don't believe there are any massive leaks. Chowke prolly told his dope boys to turn on every faucet in the city so he could declare an emergency and get mo money!

Apparently, brains froze and exploded too if the ridiculous comments are indicative of brain freeze.
So, pipes that are old and not insulated for temperatures is somehow a surprise? And, you all think these old or inadequate pipes were put in ...oh, in the last decade? ROFLMAO

It took a kid in the crowd to point out the emperor was naked. We have the opposite - an empty suit- nonetheless absurd and pathetic

It can not be an emergency if it's the norm.

3:31 Water plants lasts decades with the correct maintenance and hiring the right people to run said water plant which Jackson has failed miserably.

I too am over this endless cycle of lunacy.
As others stated, its not worth intelligent debate anymore.
The MSM peddling these lies is also beyond repair.
Much like Jackson. No need to get worked up any longer over it.
Just pay the current mayor, and the next, and the next.
And watch the city continue to fail from a distance.

Please stop saying "Jackson voted for him, so you got what you deserve." A great many of us, most of the taxpayers who are keeping Jackson afloat, did not vote for him. We just have to live under the consequences. And don't say "You should leave." It is not that easy to just pick up and move when you own a house, have a job, have strong connections. Don't try to oversimplify a complex situation unless you live in it.

3;10 To the "high IQ" crowd huddling up in the NE fiefdom... (Attys, Dr's & such..)... Congrats.
