Free food bait at Rukia HoeDown, but what kinda Water y'all servin?

Is this where you sign up for a Code E account?

It may be free but don't drink it.

I need relief from sista and brotha..

" Free food "

That's funny.

Such always ensures a crowd for the cameras.

By god this is far my most visited website. I think some of these post are race bait and no different than what the water clowns are preaching about white folks. Honestly, I bet you’ll argue that this post is at its core just a public service announcement. I understand most if not all your post but please stop giving these misleaders a soapbox and stop fueling the haters, who I don’t blame, with bait to drive traffic and colorful comments.

I also believe my electric bill is inaccurate.
I also Believe my gas bill is inaccurate.
I also believe my phone bill is inaccurate.
I also believe my student loan was a gift.

Where's my relief?

(What about free transportation to the meeting?)

Everything that is ‘free’ in society is actually paid for by an honest working person’s taxes or extra charges. Think about it, nothing in life is really ‘free’, it’s just paid for by someone else who didn’t lie, cheat, or deceive to get it for ‘free’.

From where comes the money to pay for this? Soros?

Quiet a tandem aren't they? The brother causes the problems, blames them on whitey, and the sister shows up to rally the troops for a great cause. Straight out of the Jesse Jackson\Al Sharpton playbook. Racism is big business folks. Unfortunately, those who suffer from the real effects of actual racism are just pawns in this game.

From the Promise Pay website:

PromisePay for Utilities
Promise increases revenue for utilities by helping their customers tackle existing debt and avoid service interruptions. We offer flexible payment plans, simple relief distribution, and easy online account lookup to help struggling customers get back on track. Our sophisticated marketing and outreach tools make it easy for customers to enroll and stay current, and we offer a broad range of traditional and alternative payment methods.

Our Relief Portal allows for the rapid distribution of financial assistance funds from any source, including the Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) or CARES Act funding. Promise provides an easy, mobile-friendly experience for customers to determine eligibility that can be instantly applied to their balance.

So they are going to use Cares Act or LIHWAP to get people funded to use for the water billing situation that the City of Jackson created along with Siemens? Are they going to use the Siemens money to get the water situation fixed? Is anyone going to hold Lumumba accountable for gifting his friends 1/3 of the Siemens settlement money($30mil) for a pretty cut and dry case? I am assuming the majority of NE Jackson won't qualify to have their bills taken care of? Promise pay mentions the CARES Act. This has zero to do with Covid. Nothing.

If someone would actually look at the accounts, they would find some of the highest past due accounts are in Eastover.

God I hope so 11:07.

If I lived in Eastover I would not pay a dime. I'd straight pipe or just not bother with payment like the poors do.

The pal I know in Eastover has his money manager stroke checks to COJ for insanely high water bills. The kind that would make me act like a Wing Stop customer and demand they be corrected.
But, he has what my dad called "stupid money" and he cant be bothered to deal with the minutia.

So again, I hope at least SOME of his neighbors are in the camp that refuses to pay for that toxic unreliable sludge they call water.

You think Antar is a do-nothing, Hold Sister Rukia's Beer!

In a WAPT article, Ted says that customers who are above a certain income threshold are not eligible for this program, but nowhere on the People's Relief Campaign website does it mention that. So what is it? A program to help right the wrongs of inaccurate billing for all or just for some? At least be upfront about it on the website.


WAPT: "Henifin and his team are projecting 80,000 people could have their bills wiped clean under the program. To put that into perspective, there is plenty of money for a city that has only 60,000 water customers. Not everyone will qualify, but Henifin said he's confident a large portion of water customers will get some part of the money.

'If you're above a certain income, we can't apply federal dollars to those accounts," Henifin said. "We've got a limited amount of money, and we're going to focus on the residential side as much as we can initially, but nobody will be turned away without answers.'"

People's Relief Campaign: "Who is eligible?
All JXN Water customers who have past due water or wastewater debt from before December 1, 2022 and believe they have an inaccurate bill."

Henifin is a total joke. Just watch how little he actually accomplishes before finding some convenient off-ramp.

Henifin and his team are projecting 80,000 people could have their bills wiped clean under the program. To put that into perspective, there is plenty of money for a city that has only 60,000 water customers. So what happened with the math where the mayor of COJ reported 150,000 customers on National News Chanel’s. So now if persons apply for past due bills through federal money, will some of those $ also apply to garbage & sewage also. Next question is if residents were not getting bills for years, how can they apply for relief? This is BS plain & simple!
