"and the parking lot are unsafe due to shattered glass and other debris."

And it was before the storm as well.

It's also not safe due the flying bullets.

How is this different from the service any other day...even when staffed and doors are open?

At least noone’s having to dodge a fallen ferris wheel.

Did Socrates or Richard's get the nod to make repairs?

You can still go to the Water/Sewer Billing Office to pay your bill. Waiting time to pay your bill is still the same. No one in Jackson is going to pay their bill anyway.

Also pay at:

Preacher Pickett's Pocket Picker Pulpit & Payment Palace

Why do you need an office? Do people pay water bills in Jackson?

Going to cost 1 million to replace the glass at Metrocenter.

What a fitting ironic twist. The city that does not provide water fit for consumption, does not bill half its customers for water/sewer/trash collection services, does not repair years old gushing water leaks just closed its water/sewer billing department.

Will the city employees at W/S billing be temporarily reassigned? My guess is they will get an extended paid vacation.

I went out on a limb last week and paid my water bill the old-fashioned way. USPS. Is that even still an option? In a city as dysfunctional as Jackson, it is not necessarily safe to assume that the return envelope inside the bill means that one can mail his payment. I once drove my payment to Metrocenter once and told the clerks I’d been unable to pay using the payment options listed on the reverse side of the invoice. There was a collective eyeroll behind the counter as I was informed that those options had not worked for years.

This means that all of those city employees are on paid leave...for weeks and weeks. The ultimate "no show" jobs. I suppose having them drive around looking for water leaks wouldn't be in their "job description," right?

I would strongly recommend that people pay their bill through their bank website. This gives you evidence of the date that the payment was made, when they received it and when it cleared your bank account. This helped me when there was a problem with my bill and we got it straightened out. I don't have full confidence in paying your bill at these various locations. The internal controls are weak and payments that you make could be misapplied to another account or worse.

I keep a spreadsheet on all of my payments to Water/Sewer. On average, it takes 2-3 weeks after they receive it to deposit my check. This makes no sense at all.

********************************

An honest glass company would do it for $50,000.

Palm greasing friends of Chowke would do it for $1,000,000, right Socrates?

Prediction: This office will never reopen. This fits nicely in the Lumumba plan to destroy the City.

Socrates should do the work. He owns the building and leases it to the City. The lease should call for the owner to carry insurance on the property, so they are really only out the deductible. Do they have the money? Taxes have not been paid on this one for several years now. If the building can not be repaired in a timely manner, the city should be able to cancel the lease. Ted, let's move the water department offices to Byram and make them a little happier. What a great opportunity for the city to break a bad Harvey Johnson lease deal.

10:01 AM, I pay some bills from my bank account but would never trust Jackson water dept to be honest with my bill. Imagine how long it would take to get your money back when they suddenly say you owe several thousand dollars for water when your bill usually is a hundred dollars. Where is Jackson going to get the money to return it to you when they make a mistake. And they will make a mistake.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
