The Lumumba war against Ted Henifin continues, courtesy of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Lumumbas are not too happy with JXN Water and Receiver Ted Henifin. It sure is a shame when one can't loot and pass out sweetheart deals to friends, isn't it? Well, Chief of Staff Safiya Omari (PhD) and the Order of the Sisters of Rukia* badgered the EPA with complaints until they got their way. WLBT reported:
Chief of Staff Safiya Omari said the city has reached out to the Environmental Protection Agency to raise concerns about the third-party administrator and urged residents to come out and speak to the EPA when the agency is in town later this week. The EPA will hold community forums Thursday and Friday at JSU's E-Center on Raymond Road to discuss the future of Jackson's water system.
If you want to make your view known to the EPA:
If you don't want the people who ran the water system into the ground to screw it up again, let the EPA know how you feel at JacksonMSwater@epa.gov.
* The Poor People's Assembly bulletin:
The People Advocacy Institute invites you to participate in two important public meetings hosted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). These meetings are a critical opportunity for the community to provide input on mid- and long-term solutions to improve Jackson’s drinking water system.
Your feedback will play a key role in shaping the oversight and future of the drinking water system, as the EPA and DOJ continue working to ensure safe and reliable water for all Jackson residents.
Thursday, October 10th
Time: 6:00 PM
Location: Mississippi e-Center at Jackson State University, 1230 Raymond Road, e-Logistics Room
Friday, October 11th
Time: 10:00 PM
Location: Mississippi e-Center at Jackson State University, 1230 Raymond Road, California Room
The EPA and DOJ have received input from the public in previous meetings, as well as through letters, emails, and phone calls. These upcoming meetings will offer an additional opportunity to share your voice on the future of Jackson’s drinking water system.
We encourage all members of the community to attend and be part of this important conversation. Your involvement is essential to ensuring that the long-term solutions reflect the needs and concerns of our community.
We look forward to seeing you there!
In Solidarity,
Rukia Lumumba
Founder, People’s Advocacy Institute

Cool graphic. I will send a comment supporting Henefin.
Rukia! Pay your taxes!
Just imagine where we could be if we didn't have to tolerate this marxist agitator bullshit and just imprisoned them for being communists.
I emailed supporting Ted, but I doubt it matters. Politicians no longer care what the people want...if they ever did.
“Chief of Staff Safiya Omari (PhD) and the Order of the Sisters of Rukia* badgered the EPA with complaints until they got their way.”
EPA controlled by DEI leftist Democrats, Jackson controlled by incompetent leftist Democrats that keep getting elected by purposely kept poor low IQ voters; what else should we have expected?
KF- isnt there an EPA order and fine that is outstanding against the COJ , which was hidden my the mayor and still outstanding/never satisfied?
People need to attend this!! Someone should tell them Jackson water isn’t for sale for a bag of money on a boat!
The problem for the solidarity faction is not that a failed water system was returned to standard and reliable functionality in record time and continues to so operate. No, the sisters of Rukia and the Lumumba party are furious that white people are getting credit for the turn around. Now that the system is well on its way to being sound again, the poor folks coalition is ready to take it back over and start claiming that valuable credit for a job well done. Until they run it in the ground again and need the opportunistic feds to feed it more money and competent manpower.
The Friday meeting is at 10:00 PM?
Already sent a detailed letter.
Specifically noted in my letter that the People's Advocacy Institute and Rukia Lumumba do not represent Jackson in any regard beyond the few members of their group.
Encourage every Jacksonian reading this to do the same.
Hope you are there covering this Kingfish.

West Jackson should be up by about 5PM.
If the Lumumbas wanted to be known as problem solvers instead of corrupt grifters they could try something radical like...solving problems.
The third and final film in a recent series I dare not call by name, posits that our cities are deliberately (and in a coordinated fashion) being destroyed, so that those within the faction coordinating the destruction, can rush in and buy the land/infrastructure/viable structures, for next-to-nothing.
My personal belief, is that this is true. Jackson is a minor example of this, but a very good example. Those in power at the highest levels, have no desire or intent, to make things better.
So, the EPA OIG found that COJ (in it's current strong mayor form) lacked Technical, Managerial, and Financial Capacity and then proceeded to try to blame the State MSDH for not providing enough assistance. If one focuses on this as a point of fact in comments the EPA cannot recommend returning the water system to the COJ oversight alone without the esteemed Federal agency itself being accusable of being arbitrary and capricious. See Page 8 of the EPA OIG political finger pointing: https://www.epaoig.gov/sites/default/files/reports/2024-05/_epaoig_20240513-24-p-0038_cert.pdf
Those looney Toons the Lumumba’s couldnt run a successful Church’s Franchise, much less a city.
Oh well. Chalkline lost the water dept grift but he's still got the Thalia Mara Hall surcharge working.
This is the same MDHS that begged the city for years to fix the water system, before finally calling in the EPA, whose report the mayor buried for a year, right?
If I remember correctly, the federal court overseeing the water system already gave Rukia a full hearing on these issues and ruled against her.
I suspect they now have Kristin Clarke at DOJ carrying their water for them, so to speak, spurred on by Harvey Johnson's brother Derrick at the NAACP.
This meeting should be held at Thalia Mara hall. The EPA can check out the mold while they are there.
All the while COJ was asking non residents to donate water, as the Mayor is incapable of his duties to manage the COJ.
Chok has to go. It has been so nice without weekly boiled water alerts. If chok could get out of the way Jackson might take a step forward instead of two steps back
I wouldn't recommend being anywhere near Raymond Road on a Friday at 10pm. I remember the cop who was murdered at the intersection of Raymond and West Highland like it was yesterday. I think of him every time I travel through there. Or the store owner just down Raymond Road past Shady Lane murdered in cold blood. Or the store clerk, (at what is now called Shakti Mart), going the opposite direction towards Robinson Road Extended, who was shot point blank in the head.
@4:49 Yup and being legally armed doesn't matter anymore because all the illegally armed criminals have full auto weapons. Somehow even 14 year old kids have glocks with switches.
You who write EPA, or risk your life to attend EPA forums in SW Jackson, please refer to and compliment Judge Wingate as well as Ted Hennifen.
Where are y'all getting 10 PM from? It is 6-8 tonight and 10 AM tomorrow.
The Rukia assembly bulletin has the time wrong.
Friday, October 11th
Time: 10:00 PM
Location: Mississippi e-Center at Jackson State University, 1230 Raymond Road, California Room
Rukia's announcement says October 11 at 10:00 p.m.
The EPA website says "Friday, October 11, 2024 California Room 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. CST"
https://www.epa.gov/ms/jackson-ms-drinking-water
This is a perfect example of why the water system is in federal receivership, and why the Lumumbas need to be kept away from it.
