Jackson Jambalaya

You really need to work on your prompting skills. Your AI slop images are terrible!

13 million for a park in Jackson?? You got to be kidding me! Ok then I want the same thing for my area.

Lot of pork! Republicans like to waste many like democrats do! I’ll just stop voting! Both parties suck

It's only pork when THEY do it. /not s

Great, everyone can see the crime at CMU and Canton aldermen happen in real time.

Will Horhn bid out for the streets? He hasn't bid out for streets that the 1%
committee gave the city money months ago.

$18 million for LeFleur's Bluff and the Children's Museum, and only $500k for the airport??! Seems back-asswards to me. And, why do both universities need Autism & Development Care funding?

"$500,000: Jackson airport infrastructure repair"
Translation: Funding for another trip to the Paris Air Show.

If the frigging legislature has this much extra money to give away, then lower state taxes and let these local jurisdictions fund these projects, especially money going to Jackistan. The mayor is showing his long time influence on the legislature, i.e. he knows where the skeletons are buried.

Airport gets plenty of their own money directy from the FAA which spends billions keeping unprofitable airports afloat.

I thought it was pretty good Fish. Who would have thought the Nerds would become the Bullies?

As of December 2025, there are approximately 1,237,068 working adults in MS. Divide that $253 million between them and each gets a $205 Refund check.

This is how they chisel the massess, otherwise called "the skim".

They had money for this but not child care.

10 million to JSU. What a colossal waste of taxpayer money.

Hopefully, with the money being given to the airport, they can fix and clean uo their disgusting elevators and correct the pay issues for parking, where you can actually get a receipt.

Most pathetic airport in the nation.

Republican are no better than democrats. That’s why I don’t vote

Significant money will probably flow to the airport if the State gets control. You don’t give a bunch of clowns mega bucks to squander.

That money will pad a lot of salaries and more expensive perks.

They will take care of those items as soon as they return from the Paris Airshow.

Without question, once the airport litigation is resolved correctly to uphold the 2016 legislation that reformulates the airport authority board, federal and state money will flow into the airport and surrounding properties. Until that happens, forget it.

and then there is line item veto.. y'all don't forget that part.

We are issuing debt to buy musical instruments? You have to be kidding. Can't wait to see what he strikes.

Those of you whining about LeFleur's Bluff getting so much obviously can’t appreciate the fact we have ONE state park in the entire Jackson area and it desperately needs to be expanded. People love to say there’s “nothing to do” here and that is true because we have LITTLE recreation. Expand the park! More trails and more boardwalks! Make this a more fun place to live! If you haven’t ever been outside of Jackson (yet you’re still griping) most cities have lots of parks and rec to enjoy.

All y'all that are salty in the comments need to hire better lobbyists! You can get some gubment money too, it might just cost you $250,000 a year for many years to eventually get it ;)

I fear everyone is overlooking the fact that MVSU is somehow still in existence and they want to spend SEVEN MILLION dollars MORE on an absolutely destitute institution in motherfucking Itta Bena. That place is a total shitshow and hasn’t churned out a decent graduate since Jerry Rice. As a matter of fact, most of the HBCUs in America are a total joke that are money pits passed off as “colleges” that you and I foot the bill for. Infuriating.

1:43 On Tuesday city council agenda
Horhn and his police chief want them to approve 12 weeks of catering for
Jackson Police dept. training academy.

5:49 police dept. gets a budget.

Then the people who use it should pay for it

How many working age adults aren’t working?

The Fannie Cook Natural Area will be open soon.

Fish, you left off a couple of biggies - $150 million for I55 from Madison to Gluckstadt. And $100 million for UMMC to build the cancer center.

If you are going to include the Workers Comp building of the W&F burial center (better renamed the David Blount darkhole, after he insisted the state buy it and then be required to spend millions on it to maintain its 'historic' nature, which of course is not historic, but I digress) you have to consider the Cancer Center as an investment in Jackson.

True dat

Gluckstat? Drones? Kina like Rankin County Sheriff’s Department purchasing a $100,000 forestry mulching machine. Maybe I’m missing something.

I have a friend who’s involved with Lefleurs Bluff State Park and I can promise the gate stays busy with people coming from everywhere, not just here in Jackson area or Mississippi which would justify a decent investment.

Instead of having the legislators take our money and dribble it back to us, why can’t we have cities and towns just keep their money and do with it what needs to be done, spending it the way they want?

But let’s talk about what’s truly important to everybody. Did the bill proposing sheriff departments and / or constables be able to use radar and write speeding tickets pass?

300k towards a training facility for the RFD? Why? That’s nothing more than a JV fire department that likes to parade around. Slab City.

Flowood has a great training facility that they never use. Those guys don’t train and just want to test hydrants. Why can’t the RFD use it with some sort of agreement?

“Waaaaa both sides bad so I don’t vote”

Poor little lazy ignorant citizen. One side is clearly worse than the other. One side wants to help its citizens with healthcare, childcare, and social and economic programs funded by taxes, and maybe give some mentally ill folks the freedom to do what they will with their bodies. The other side wants to elect felons, steal taxpayer money for themselves, erode constitutional rights, trample on the constitution and courts, and spend trillions of your money on pointless wars that make everything cost more for you.

Both sides bad, yeah. But hey, no trans and litter boxes eh?
