Getting It Done

 A reader sent a rather nice email and pictures about JXN Water: 

Jxn Water is getting it right. I called in a suspicious water flow yesterday (KF: Saturday).  They were out within an hour investigating & repairing today.



 

The repair took place on Forest Park Drive.

I want to cheer for this progress but I am sure sister Rukia will explain soon why this repair is actually a racist set-back that citizens should be protesting.

They haven't responded to my emails, calls or messages for months. Seems like not much has changed.

There was a leak in front of my downtown church for several years. It was reported on many, many occasions and nothing was done.

After JXN Water fixed the big leaks, lo and behold, this one was also fixed.

Just goes to show what a competent leader who cares can get done. Thanks Ted!

Yes let us all cheer for the basic services that everyone else surrounding Jackson considers normal!

What number did this reader call? Because 601-960-2000 has been experiencing a "technical problem" for weeks.

Call 601-500-5200 but they don't fix residential issues fast. Takes a while.

Miracles in the fourth world,
Where mayor and sister hurled
Race bombs, lies and excuses,
But thrive on public abuses.

On Fortification westbound left lane between Quinn and Monroe is a dip in the pavement looks like it’s hiding a sinkhole. There are scrapes on the asphalt where vehicles have bottomed out if they were traveling too fast at that point, looks like. I pass it once a week and it looks bigger and deeper every time, this wave in the pavement. It’ll be big enough to swallow a box truck. Anybody else noticed that besides just me?

9:20- haven’t heard of anyone calling Jx Water & not getting a response! Guessing you are an outlier or a complainer!

10:16 - This is about sewer repairs. Road work is still under the city and as usual, nothing's fucking being repaired in that department.

Lumumba doesn’t care if he can’t monetize it. Nice job Ted and team. Thank you.

Last week an eroding cut-away, two feet deep, extending three feet wide by ten feet long into East traffic lane of Pear Orchard, close to Walgreens, South of County Line, was finally and properly repaired. It was rolled and tapered, appears a first class fix.

I call bullshit on 9:20 - I’ve called JXN Water a few times on two issues and they have been very responsive. 9:20 has not tried to contact them, but simply hates to see them getting good press. Sorry, 9:20, but Ted is doing a much better job than Chickweed was.

Have Mayor Rukia and Asst. Mayor Chowke taken credit for this yet? Held a presser? Called CNN and MSNBC?

There was a major leak across from my house last week. I called the emergency number, was answered between the first and second rings, and the repair was made before I left for work.

Please tell me that is not raw boo-boo floating on top of the water under the bridge.

@4:20. I believe what you are seeing is leaf and branch type debris, but raw boo-boo cannot be ruled out. But, then again, what can you do about that now. So much raw boo-boo has been running out of this open sewer known as Jackson into the Pearl River and all the way down to the coast for years now.

It’s amazing what federal grant $$$$$ can do for a water system!!! Half or more of those commenting on here could do what Ted does for half the price!!!

While ole Chuck is holding a party to celebrate his people during the water crisis. A real leader is getting things done. Thank you JXN Water. Who holds a party for the crew of the titanic???????? Only our new world order leader does.

@ 7:59 PM - It's not actual funding, but the change in leadership. And, no - not just anyone can do the job, Rukia.

It is my opinion, that Mr.Henifin is slowly, but inexorably, dragging Jackson from the clutches of third world status. Even though the marxist mayor, and his cabal, do all within their power to hinder, even resorting to supposed sabotage. If not for the continued support of the federal magistrate, Judge Wingate, I could see them succeeding. Judge Wingate, should be applauded along with Mr. Henifin. I give thanks to both.

Is Chowke's crew still maliciously opening hydrants?

What's up with what appears to be a hoard of quickrete bags stacked up in the photo and, if not a drain, what's the purpose of....the drain?

I called the new number yesterday to report water coming up out of the street. Drove my this morning, its fixed. I was dumbfounded. Fantastic job. Lady who answered the phone when I reported: 2 or 3 rings, took information, no problem at all, very nice. Thank you to Judge Wingate, Ted H, and all the people at JxWater.

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.

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.
