For $1.5 million. That is $1.5 million (one and a half million dollars) to try to open a zoo in west Jackson so that he could keep a campaign promise) when we have raw boo boo running through people's yards. When we have a sewer system in total violation of damn near every federal regulation there is regarding wastewater. When we have a water system that is also in violation of clean water standards and facing potential millions of dollars in fines (along with, of course, subjecting the residents to serious health hazards). <br /><br />But - the important thing to our radical new Mayor is the reopening of a zoo - at its present location in order to serve the residents in that part of town. <br /><br />Forget the health and welfare of the population at large. Forget (although not part of this discussion) the safety of all people in the city with the vastly underfunded police force. <br /><br />Put the money where it is important!!! Fund the zoo!1! Bring in the so-called experts (who are not licensed to do so) to given them $1.5 million to open the facility back up - to prove a political point rather than to address what is really important.<br /><br />Sorry you missed the logic of his comment. But - its there, for all those that pay attention and still care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-88060345756284015822021-04-13T19:38:08.421-05:002021-04-13T19:38:08.421-05:00"a discussion over process""a discussion over process"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-41743200160985395022021-04-13T14:37:22.229-05:002021-04-13T14:37:22.229-05:0010:34 - Nobody knows what the hell your question i...10:34 - Nobody knows what the hell your question is, but, yes..probably.
