Straighten out the water billing would be a good place to start. Anything to show a little competence. I can’t blame the legislature for not wanting to spend money on Jackson. The city has mismanaged everything it has touched. Heck, WM was doing fine picking up trash and the mayor messed that up worse than anyone could imagine.

No further explanation required.<br /><br />Now, back to reality. As much as I hate to note it, I'm glad that enough people are starting to acknowledge that Jackson is gone. Period. (Or as I see so many on the left say these days, "Full Stop.") All of the issues people are mentioning as solutions - and I mean ALL of them - take a LOT of money. HUGE amounts of money. So, when whatever politician you want to blame has run the vast majority of the tax base out of the City, how exactly is it that the money will appear to fix these problems? We are where we are because of the gross mismanagement by all those before Baby Chok, but I'm convinced he's exacerbating the problems we have now by design. Think about it: exactly what would he have to do to "run" the city in a worse fashion? I'm not sure it could be done! The garbage fiasco is a perfect example. Something as back-of-mind as garbage service ran pretty much flawlessly for as long as I can remember.....so what does BC do? He intentionally takes a service that most people don't even think about, brings it front and center, then ruins it in a grand fashion! Isn't that pretty much how he's treated everything he's touched?<br /><br />Again, no one will make me believe that Jackson's downward spiral - at BC's hands - isn't by design.
