The flight of money from a city is a killer plain and simple. Whether the town is called Tombstone, Detroit, East St. Louis or Jackson, none can long survive when maintenance far outstrips the city's income. A hardline commitment to protecting investment, and to maintaining the public school system prevents this scenario. Jackson did not have it. Other cities have faced the same fork in the road and a painful decision to cooperate for survival was made. Not in Jackson. The races have always been too far apart to cooperate in this hellhole. Now, just watch the dominoes fall.

Every white person and well educated black person in Jackson needs to move 500 miles away because Rankin and Madison County will be just like Jackson in 10 to 15 years.

Interesting that so many of the "connected" parties have less than stellar records and some are saddled with legal problems. Even more interesting is that some of the contracts have stipulations to train a workforce???<br /><br />As someone else has already mentioned, use the most qualified company regardless of race, color or even what bathroom he or she may want to use, and a company that has a trained and competent workforce that can do the work. It may cost more initially, but based on what we have seen with past administrations, it will likely be less expensive in the long run.Not A Rocket Scientistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-51564028530957611572016-06-09T08:32:14.077-05:002016-06-09T08:32:14.077-05:00Jim Hood will not do anything because he doesn'...Jim Hood will not do anything because he doesn't want to anger his voting block when he runs for Gov. in 2019.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-9916641743465431522016-06-09T07:37:31.979-05:002016-06-09T07:37:31.979-05:00Feds will not do anything ; time to leave and get ...Feds will not do anything ; time to leave and get at least 200 miles from Jackson.Let them tear it to the ground to steal what little is left.

Hemphill is a contractor - they actually 'do the work'. And while they have recently been given a contract to repair 'utility cuts' throughout the city, they are not 'patching potholes'. Realize that both unrepaired utility cuts and unpatched potholes both tear the crap out of our vehicles, they are different animals. <br /><br />212:32, Hemphill did not patch potholes in Belhaven - and if you think that they did and that they completed the work in two days, please drive around the streets of that neighborhood and explain to me why it is impossible to drive a straight line down any of them due to the potholes. Get on here and praise Hemphill, but don't make up crap and think that it will be eaten, swallowed and enjoyed.<br /><br />AECOM proposal is to do the engineering work - determine what is needed, design it, and supervise a contractor to do the work. AECOM's proposed cost was $2.5 million - for the first year - but is not a guaranteed sum. Looking at their history in other jurisdictions, the actual bill would probably be closer to $10 million per year. After all, they have to give 40% of the total away to Hizzoner Tony's pocketbooks while teaching his protegee (bagmen?) subcontractors. The actual cost of doing the consent work will approximate $400 million. Thus - apples and pigs feet.<br /><br />Want to see the real corruption arise? Wait until Hizzoner tries to push through a contract for his chief fundraiser - CDM - to do the consent work. No telling who all will be on that subcontractor/mentor list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-28733699867623447462016-06-08T14:43:39.313-05:002016-06-08T14:43:39.313-05:00Oh.
