Jackson Jambalaya

Where is Mayor Pete on this one? Jeez!

You would think this would have received immediate attention, given all the liberal environmentalists who work and attend there-

FOR VIDEOS HOLD YOUR PHONE HORIZONTALLY!!!!!!!!

Destination Pearl River. Where is the EPA?

Looks clear to me. Inspection passed. Move on to the next block over.

Well, conveniently, there is nearby a stack of the most appropriate paper product on Earth for wiping this all up- Millsaps Diplomas.

The sign that warns not to come in contact with the material has, of course, fallen down and is now immersed in sewage.

Must make for interesting recruiting for of scholars.

Boo Boo at Millsaps - a new reality series on Hallmark.

is that just storm water or is that raw sewage?

that about sums up what's going on at Millsaps these days...

Smell like boo boo up in here.

Hard to name one thing the Administration does well…or even competently

Going right into the Pearl River.

Not the city’s fault. That’s just the teachings of most of the professors leaking out.

No wonder enrollment is down.

Millsaps, the one of the few positive things still remaining in Jackson is now being polluted because of lack of city leadership. Maybe if we collect the money owed by the 6500 exempt water recipients, we can get this corrected.

I got a MBA by attending Millsaps
at night. I found it to be a very rewarding conservative experience and will always appreciate the experience.

The grass is always greener……

Hello, 1:28. Evidently something is missing from your education. An MBA, not a MBA.

The leak is from a city main, not Millsaps campus, and has been reported numerous times.

That’s actually a very small leak compared to others around town.
Nothing to see here.

@3:08 PM - He failed to mention his BS degree.

Ack-shoe-uhlly, if one reads "MBA" as "Masters of Business Administration," one would employ "a," The word "Masters" beginning with the consonant sound "muh."

And if one were to read it as three letters, the first letter M being pronounced "em" and beginning with a vowel sound, then one would employ the word "an."

So you're both correct, 1:28 and 3:08, just depends on whether one reads wirds or letters, although there are plenty who hold an MBA -- which I pronounce Em Bee Ay here -- and cannot spell to save their own lives.

And that's your grammar and orthography lesson for today. Let's stay safe out there and not create any grammar wrecks.

Problem is the sewer line was laid the same year Millsaps opened! 1890!

"Ooh, that smell
Can't you smell that smell?"

For correctness - not grammer, I ain't gonna go there - this is not a sewer leak.

This is a Sanitary Sewer Overflow - SSO for short. Plenty of these around Jackson, and the EPA has been supposedly fining Jackson for every day every one is overflowing. AND, Jackson has been supposed to be addressing this problem and making it sto, under the Consent Decree the city entered into in 2013.

Under that decree, Jackson had 17 years to fix all the SSOs throughout the city. But, being Jackson, they have done nothing to fix the problem while spending over $30 million in consulting and legal fees trying to 'renegotiate' the decree - to get more time to fix the problem; to lower the fines; to reduce the work required.

That effort - under CAL Sr, Tony the dancer Yarborough, and now under our radical new social justice Mayor Lumumba Jr - didn't do a damn thing to change the fact that whenever there is a significant rain, the sewer lines overflow - generally just like this one. The excessive rainwater inundates the collapsed and failing sewer lines and the easiest way to freedom is through the holes in the manhole covers. And then, of course, out on the streets, into the yards, eventually into the creeks, and on the east side of the divide, into the Pearl and to the Gulf.

But - its really not a lot of untreated sewer after all, why get worried about it. The sewage (I'll leave off the description, you kinda get the picture) is normally full of various solids - but with the influx of rainwater, it is highly diluted. Make you feel better? Good. What's bubbling out is a whole lot of rainwater, mixed in of course with the output of other connections to the sewer line (yes, all those personal things you do at home, or after work in the bar - whatever).

If Jackosn officials - Im not about to call them leaders - had spent half the time trying to play politics, and hiring consultants to play politics - all to change the requirements of the Consent Decree and started working toward solving these problems that occur all over the city - much of this would be fixed by now.

But - the zoo was more important. The Food Mart on Farish Street deserved use of that Siemens settlement dollars more than the utility failures that were used to justify the settlement (who knows where the rest of those millions went, there has been no report of it other than it clearly did not go into the water / sewer funds).

So, we live with "up from the ground comes a bubbling crude". Problem is, in this case it was not oil that let Jed move, it was just crude - that we all have to live in here because we can't move; to Beverly or to anywhere.

Biden's EPA doesn't enforce standards for entities led by Biden supporters. The fact that this oversight impacts actual people is irrelevant.

Just what fine did Jackson receive for dumping over 50 million gallons of raw sewage into the Pearl River? Zero. If a business had made such an egregious environmental impact the EPA would have buried said company.

Our poop fountain or SSO bubbled up for about 3 years while the city blamed it on grease in the lines from restaurants … truth was that the line had collapsed. The city just sent the same crew out and guess where they wash the sewage yeah, right down into the ground water so more power to that. I just want to thank Robert Graham for coming out and getting Hinds County to agree to fund some of the repairs - finally, working together with the county, we no longer drive through poop, used tampons and gosh knows what else… and guess who the mayor was then - yep, same one we have now! And the zoo - well, what zoo? Sad for the animals and to think, we could’ve had a zoo over there by the children’s Museum that would’ve attracted more tourist to the city but our current mayor decided that wouldn’t be a good idea so now…are there really any words ?!

Democrats don’t care about Millsaps!

Vote for Mayor Lumumba. He gets shit done.

Unless one lives in a newer part of Jackson, there are many miles of crumbling water and sewer lines under rights-of-way for Henifin to fix because COJ can't or won't.

If Henifin devotes his $400,000/yr time in Jackson suing the state, instead of completing his mission, his reputation will be ruined as a limp wristed commie hand maiden to Jackson's marxist mayor.

Post one thing about Millsaps, and the haters who know NOTHING about Millsaps come out.

@ 8:06

Thats the most appropriate and accurate campaign slogan I have ever heard. The sheer volume of shit that has occurred since this guy got into office is staggering.

Suppose you educate us 10:17. Tell us about Millsaps. What goes on behind the gates, stays behind the gates, right?
