Jackson Jambalaya

Don't need majority on authority.

The authority could raise rates.

Only thing that satisfies any of them is boil water alerts.

The city leadership already ran the water system into the ground once. Are they wanting to show us that they can run it into the ground a second time?

There are people outside Jackson trying to save Jackson from its own stupidity, but Jackson keeps showing there are new levels yet to reach.

The authority could operate the systems properly so long as Jackson does not have majority control of the authority.

I get it, it's our Capital City. But, there's a part of me that thinks, "ok, try it again COJ. DO the same thing (not maintain the plants) and get the same result". No matter what your thoughts are on the subject, you can rest assured after a few or more years of neglect, it'll be chapter 2 of the same ol' book.

Wouldn't city get it back when debt is paid off?

Jackson "leadership" refuses to understand that no one, not one entity with money will help Jackson if they must submit control of their money to Jackson. Track records count at the bank and in government. Any fool knows Jackson's fiscal record is beyond questionable. It's life.

The louder they protest the more it tells me that they have a per$onal monetary ve$ted intere$t.

I'm not happy until the city council is not happy.

I'm here for this.

Get out of Jackson now! Don’t walk run and don’t look back. That’s what did and I can drink the water

After years of mismanagement of the water system by the City of Jackson, why would anyone think management would improve under the current city government?

Jackson is a little Detroit

5:53 Stop it! Detroit will run circles around Jackson. Detroit has the clout to come back and it will. No comparison.

The bill was changed to give Horhn voting control. What is the beef now?

5:51 you can drink the water in Jackson.

What makes the city council think Uncle Sugar is going to have the money to bail out the water/sewer system again, after they run it in the ground.

They want to make sure they control it.

Horhn will almost be out of office by the time Jxn Water leaves.

The majority of Jackson continues to vote for the same children and clowns. It has to get worse before it can get better. Give them the authority they voted for. Keep my tax dollars out of Jackson.

New beef: all the surrounding areas should be rolled into the Metro Jackson Authority with Hohrn having voting control. Garbage included too.

Go big or shut it all down!

Jackson will not have voting control, but the council must approve the appointees for Ridgeland and Byram, which will made by the Mayor of each city.

There is the City of Detroit Water Authority apart from the City of Detroit that provides very fine water to many cities. Flint, Michigan got in trouble with its water supply when the Receiver for Flint decided it was cheaper for Flint to have its own water plant and then had incompetent people run run it. If they had stayed on Detroit Water Authority water the lead problem would never have happened. A City of Jackson Water Authority can produce very good water if politics stays out of it and competent people like Ted Henifen are allowed to run it.

Yes! Please and thank you
