Check out what happened when JXN Water Manager Ted Henifin dared say "people don't want to pay their bills" as the free-loaders and boobirds came out of the woodwork.
Mr. Henifin merely said what Judge Wingate and others have said in Court. What was the phrase used? "Culture of not paying bills?" It was Mr. Henifin and Judge Wingate who discovered the ecode abuse and put a stop to it.
The boobirds need to sit down and shut up. They are the ones who voted for Siemens. They are the ones who vote for moratoriums on cutting off bills for non payment. They are the ones who voted to run off experienced employees. They are the ones who voted to crash the water system through incompetence and negligence.
Why should they be taken seriously on anything?

Ted's right.
So called leaders created the culture.
“Culture of not paying bills?” It sounds like another phrase for life on the Democrat plantation. Jackson cannot move forward on any of it’s challenges, until such time that the political class decides that the old ways of doing municipal business is failing the public.
Always offended and never ashamed.
Same people who run off every grocery store, drug store, restaurant, and any place that can’t turn a profit due to security risks, shrinkage, and people acting like feral Nile Crocodiles 🐊 in public
"Culture of not paying bills...."
Well, that's one way to say it.
Mr. Henefin should get the hell out of this blatently ignorant shithole, run by candy ass morons (like W-7 rep).
KF is being polite as this is the watered-down version. :)
They are the ones who voted, some four times, for the most incompetent and corrupt Mayor in Jackson's history, Antard Lumumba.
I am more pissed that Kevin Parkison sits on that council with a fucking t shirt on and shakes his head when Henifin says that. What a total spineless pussy.
There is a culture here of people not paying their bills
BOOOOOOO!
*checks credit card default statistics*
Mississippi is #1 nationwide in Credit Card defaults!
Parkison is awful.
Do what most of my neighbors and I did-- straight paipe.
Then you are not guilty of not paying your bill.
This issue is as clear as black and white.
COJ residents view Ted as "The Man". That's why you see this reaction.
Political egg noodle Parkinson is so outmatched by the job. You can be sure he practices what he plans to say in advance in front of his bathroom mirror.
Those at the trough will squeal the loudest.
I’ve found the church members that never give a dime to the church are always the ones that complain the loudest about Joe the church uses its budget. Just saying
Simply put, it's the "I want something for nothing" culture, which has been the mantra of the democratic party for decades. Dare I say that it's basically reparations?
Start cutting them off now for non payment! I promise 50% will come up with the money.
May I present the main reason why Jackson can no longer be left solely in charge of ANY utility in the Radical New City!!
New episode of America's Biggest Losers just dropped!
3 felonies for a dolla!

The self-proclaimed genius Brad Franklin is now stoking the fires on FB that Ted Henifin is not only a white supremacist but that he should have, at the minimum, felt concerned for his safety and physically intimidated while leaving the hearing yesterday.
John Horhn needs to call out that garbage publicly ASAP or resign.
1:20 Ted is cutting people off.
If I wanted to convince others that I was capable of self government this is the exact opposite of the way I would want to behave.
I've got a genius idea. Since the Jackson city council and the Jackson citizens are so offended by being accused of having "a culture of not paying their bill", maybe we should simply let them all prove otherwise. The federal government should give Jackson a bill for $600 million, pull Ted out, and let them have the system. Jackson can handle this. They are capable. I'm sure they can and will pay the $600 million invoice the feds should give them. And Jackson would ultimately have to get that $600 million from their ratepayers. I'm sure those ratepayers would pay their bills.
Indeed, wink, wink.
Who is that jellyfish in the blue shirt?
The first words out of his mouth are to provide cover for the last EIGHT YEARS of Lumumba incompetence.
It's like he's talking down to a bunch of five-year-olds.
Kazikazi big talker. All about his race hustle.
Girly, Belhaven man. SO Democrat.
The fatigue is real.
My family left Jackson entirely too early. Who is this Parkison creature? My dog has more sense than he does.
If I was Ted Henifin I'd figure out a way to mobilize a team to conduct some water shutoff blitzes of known non-paying accounts. Secure some temporary help if needed and possible. Make the political class squirm. They want collections? Well shutoffs produce collections. Also, file an appeal to force Wingate to get out of the way from stopping the shutoff of apartments who are past due on their water bills. Go on offense Ted.
This is Jackson Mississippi and the distrust of all governmental agencies especially those run by or represented by white people is still "cultural". It takes too long for the majority demographic of Jackson to accept their ownership of the political power in this black majority city. They find it totally believable that whites are somehow manipulating the water problems and the rapid decline of property values in this city. The "leadership" panders to this paranoia rather than taking responsibility for the problems confronting the city. At this point no one tells these people that it does not matter so much how we got here, it's what we do next that counts.
Democrats in general seem to want as much as possible when the bill doesn’t change.
Ted is already cutting off over 1,000 a
month.
If Blount sells out Byram he's toast in '27. The people there have had it with Jackson and the water situation. Blount voting to make Byram subservient to Horhn and the Jackson City Council will be the last straw.
Be it remembered that Ward 7 was SO close to electing Ron Aldridge instead of Parkinson, and Ron would likely be riding around with Henifin to help him shut off non-payers in his free time. What a miss by Ward 7.
A liberal teacher.
Billing Jackson for $600 million is the fix here. They want it? Pay the money back.
King - how many days has Wingate been sitting on his decision?
Missed an opportunity with Corinthian being the one replacing Virgi but this Libtard Parkinson annoys my soul.
"Accountability" is considered racist in Jacktown.
H2O equity.
I don’t live in Jackson (thank God), but it is incredibly entertaining watching democrats make the exact same fuck ups over, and over, and over and over….
It’s almost as if they can never learn from all of their spectacular failures. How they operate is not just counterproductive it’s self destructive.
I initially misread this title as "Let the SHUTOFFS Begin" and got momentarily excited for Jackson.
The overwhelming, ever-present sense of Entitlement is systemic and automatic, not subject to any thought process. Gimme Mo, It's Mine and It's Our Turn are as automatic as taking a daily dump.
@3:28 Corinthian is an absolute quack. No two ways around it.
Everyone is missing that Jackson's water treatment plant doesn't just serve Jackson residents.
You have to also look at the commercial payments from apartments, and owners of buildings. In some cities, the owner of the property/building is responsible for the entire bill and it must be included in the rental price, not billed separately. If there are leaks in a building or apartment not being addressed, then who should foot the bill? I'd vote for the building's owner.
It serves more than Byram too. It serves various other locations within Hinds County.
It provides water to industrial and commercial plants via contract like the Nissan plant. The treatment of wastewater is part of all this.
But the big thing missing in the discussion is the waste treatment costs and commercial payments.
Only in Jackson can a libtard like Parkinson fail upwards after "leading" Midtown to failure every year, only to be replaced in the position by none other than Tony Yarber. You literally cannot make this crap up. The same school that recently was under fire after a female teacher and a female administrator made a YouTube video going into explicit detail their sexual relationship with one another. You can be gay and you can be an educator and you can even be a YouTuber, but maybe not try to do all three at the same damn time.
12:29 Almost a year.
Ted is 1000% correct.
Wallethub ranks Jackson, MS as the worst Capital City in the United States.
Ted is correct about no pay...give me something free culture that dominates Jackson. Check the credit bureau data. Mayor White and representative for Byram, do not let Jackson have control over who is appointed to the board for Byram. These so called Jackson leaders are the most incompetent idiots I have ever witnessed in this country! Let's face it, we won't see the end of this third world status in our lifetime.
7:02 nailed it.
Its hard to believe these elected idiots just keep making the same mistakes over and over.
Its equally insane that the idiots residents re-elect them over and over.
The majority clearly wants this level of chaos and moronic representation. Thank God I moved.
Culture of free stuff
Thank you Ted Henifin. Your patience with some of the crap is admirable. I couldn't have lasted without just blowing up and taking out some folks. I am so sorry you have had to deal with some of these people. Please remember, when the court asked for opinions, so many wrote in and supported you. We still do.
1:21 Agree 100%.
Wheels coming off the HB 1677 bus today.
Gene McGee definitely fighting HB 1677

I agree, 5:31 pm. Ron would have been excellent.
