City Technology is old and replacements are met with half a$$ fixes that are not compatable with or able to connect to the outside world. Even the local radio stations now consider the 1980's to be Vintage. Time to "get with the program" and move on.

There was once so much support from both poltical parties, but when change was met with attitudes of mistrust or "why would a Republican actually care about our children, health or living conditions," "he or she has to be trying to take away from us." What do you think would happen. When a group of people or business's who have the means and desire to help, hear that continually for 20 years, they tire of it and move on. The damage the city has done to outsiders and their attitudes towards outsiders has come full circle. It's now not a just a habit, but policy and it's killing our Capital City.

By their choice, Jackson's City leadership don't live in Rankin County, no less own lease hold property, yet they felt "entitled" to have a say in its day to day operations, which is way out of line. Rankin County never had a say in how Jackson was using the $5 million yearly it collected (from Rankin County) in fees. A Regional System that includes Rankin County is off the table, as West Rankin has decided what is in their best interests. Any Regional System is a waste, as all it will do is cause more "studies", waste valuable time and money and nothing gets accomplished. This has been proven time and again with any joint effort that Jackson has involvement in. They are perfectly capable of handling their own affairs as this has been repeatedly voiced in their campaign issues and voter choices. Let them do their own thing, just leave Madison and Rankin Counties to manage their own affairs. We've done well before and will continue, according to the wishes of our voters.

That means yes, the burbs get to sit at the table and have a say. The burbs are currently paying but are not playing. Jackson is foolish if it thinks that status quo can continue. It is no secret Madison wants to get off of Jackson's system and go to the Big Black River. West Rankin is going its own way unless a court says boo. The regional concept has been suggested before but successive administrations have had a Jackson first and only attitude. It may culminate into a Jackson last and only reality.

Won't Jackson need all it's treatment plant's current capacity, and MORE, with the fabulous things happening on Farish Street, the Convention Center, The Meridien, The District at Eastover, The Medical Corridor and all the other unbelievable new developments underway? Amenity-rich apartment communities, such as the one poised to TRANSFORM Fab Fondren, will be needing enhanced wastewater services! <br /><br />I hear that people are FLOCKING to Downtown lofts, now. And the chic residential conversions of historic buildings have Jacktown on the cusp of being a hip-&-THROBBING happening-spot, 24/7. With the drab old 'Nixon-era Modern' Smith Park set to be replaced by a zingy new 'Nixon-era Modern' Smith Park, Jackson will be heralded as a spot of beauty and wonderment. The inevitable scads of beauty-stricken tourists will be flushing those Smith Park convenience fixtures day and night. Demand for water treatment will be going up, up, UP!<br /><br />And all this is BEFORE we consider the ramped-up wastewater needs of Whole Foods, or the thousands of busloads of restroom-bound pilgrims, desperate to get off the bus and into the thrilling new Civil Rights Museum. <br /> <br />Any minute now, Jackson's population is going to SURGE. The city's treatment plant may not have enough reserve capacity to accommodate the upcoming boom.

Rankin is using its own tax dollars to upgrade their sewage system, just like Jackson had the opportunity to do, when they received MILLIONS in fees each year from Rankin County. What the city did with that money was their business. Rankin never had a say in it. In fact, for the OB Curtis Plant, they couldn't or wouldn't hire anyone that didn't live in the City. You can't have it both ways. It's like being fired from a job.

Belhaven and Fondren are suburbs. The antebellum Boyd House (adjacent Downtown) is considered a notable historic example of a 'Suburban Farm'. <br /><br />I'm sure that you're accustomed to cities like Baltimore (you seem to have first appeared as a paid defender of Chicken Ranch Anna's Flophouse Franchise). But Jackson is organized (or disorganized) more like Los Angeles than it is like Baltimore.<br /><br />Brandon, Madison, and Clinton, should be referred to as 'Bedroom Communities', or 'Exurbs'. If you're going to continue in your glamorous career as a Paid Internet Troll, then you really should use the right words.<br /><br />And you'd be surprised how few of us commute to Jackson for work, these days. Employers are getting out of Jackson as fast as they can.
