Jackson Jambalaya

This is like Groundhog Day for these poor Jacksonians. Incompetence on steroids.

50 Marshall Plans couldn’t save Jackson.

"Mechanical Setbacks at the plant" my ass! A bad plug causes an engine to misfire - That's a mechanical setback. If the vehicle is sitting on four flat maypops, one bent rim and has no key it ain't gonna move. That ain't a mechanical setback.

Only a week away from large parts of a capital city going one whole month without water. One whole month without water. If you choose to remain in that wasteland, you’re enabling criminal incompetence.

The Walking Dead should shoot some scenes in Jackson....

If a white man was mayor, there would be people from all over the country marching in the streets.

"Mechanical setbacks," or is it "mental midgets" or "intellectual challenges?"

Wait, it's "climate change," "covid-19" and "gun shows" that caused this. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Speaker Phillip Gunn is meeting with the Mayor on helping address this crisis. That is leadership. You can moan, groan, and complain about how we got here but when humans don't have access to water, then other things start to happen. Let's get this one fixed immediately.

Oh and Donna Ladd can eat a turd sandwich for being a race-baiting muckraker looking to make money off the backs of poor people by inciting hatred rather than looking for solutions. She is the worst thing that has ever happened to Jackson and I have lived in the city for 50 years.

Let's get this one fixed immediately.

How do you do that? Get it 'fixed immediately'? Put up.

Gunn can meet with Lumumba all he wants but he's also smart enough to know that unless he's planning on writing bond debt financed checks for every municipality in Mississippi having infrastructure problems that he doesn't have a majority in the House willing to bail out the always dysfunctional Jackson again.

March 8, 2021 at 7:35 AM is WOKE.

I think he means to get started on fixing the problem before the BLM and their $90M in cash sets their sights on the City with Soul.

Every city? The point is that Jackson hosts a large number of state government employees EVERY DAY and should get state help for their infrastructure issues. Last time I checked, wasn't a whole bunch of traffic going through Inverness.

They shouldn't be bailed out BTW. What do the taxpayers get in return? Airport? Capitol city zone like in DC?

Oh, I get it. Jackson should get bailed out for raw surface sewage discharge or water line repairs because some x% of state workers drive to offices downtown but other cities in Mississippi facing the exact same problems are welcomed to lump it and forego state financial help because they don't have state workers driving to their cities for work. Good luck, seriously, good luck getting that logic by the Legislature.
