Would have made more sense to decide which streets to pave by first considering either: (a) safety needs for traveling public; or (b) pacifying the neighborhoods that are paying the most city taxes. But that's not what they did. Well, the decision-makers of the City of Jackson may find out how to prioritize fiscal spending the hard way. If children in a school bus or SUV going to or from school are involved in a serious auto accident and injured on a Jackson street because of the unattended known potholes and street conditions, there could be a serious lawsuit against the City of Jackson or its decision-makers. If there is a way around immunity of the City leaders/employees based upon the facts, then the right lawsuit could bankrupt some of them. But I digress. Yes, the drop in the bucket of just 59 streets is a start, no matter how small or how unintelligently allocated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-73246422082721305712018-08-16T23:13:44.037-05:002018-08-16T23:13:44.037-05:00This article does not have the full details on why...This article does not have the full details on why the above streets was selected.

Make sure the streets around your high sales tax generators are in good shape. Make sure these areas have a lot of police coverage. Why should people chance their cars getting beaten up or themselves attacked when they can go to the suburbs with no such fear?<br /><br />Generate cash and that will solve some problems, or provide more assets to distribute to your pals.
