Jackson Mayor Antar Lumumba held a press conference on the ongoing water stoppages in the wake of extreme weather, where he said residents are “tired of apologies,” but that “there is no way to prevent what is happening” to the water treatment facility. He is calling on residents to notify the city when a new leak is stopped so that crews can make repairs.» Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

Why he look like a drawing of a comic book mayor
Let’s see if we can trade a couple of hardened world criminals for some ….water.
Just the latest example of American Disintegrating before our eyes ? Biden and his Cronies leading ( or planning) the mayhem ? 😤
Listen folks! Be prepared to help. Drip your water cause it will freeze. Don't make bad, worst.
This is not incompetence. He is executing a documented communist plan. He is named after a communist. His father was a communist. He is a communist. He is intentionally destroying this city. Wake up!
Ukraine has great water !!!! #americalast
Another "scripted" briefing. TRUTH is the same yesterday today and tomorrow, it never requires a script.
Their governor is a joke just like my state.
Biden administration hates real black people. Impeach Biden.
Create Jobs / Add Jobs Fix YOUR Infrastructure, Many Problems Solved all At Ounce. How About That
I think Jackson should appeal to the UN. The US is unavailable due to racism to fix the problem.🧐
Is it weird that the people that are screaming they needed to fix the system sooner would probably be the exact same people screaming just as loudly that money was being wasted updating the water system before something like this happened?
Did Jackson get a cut of that spending bill ? Ukraine did though
I agree with him. I think a lot of things going on with utilities are intentional.
Jackson is proof that Wakanda isn't real
Meanwhile another 40 billion for war mongers in Ukraine.
If your politicians aren’t doing what you ask get rid of them Republican or Democrat
They need to fire and charge every one of those corrupt aholes that had anything to do with misappropriating funds and look in at Baton Rouge while they're at it because they are starting to have the same problems there.
You played yourselves.
What I think this mayor should for the residents of his city and to embarrass 😳 the country by asking other countries for financial help particularly countries whom we've helped and countries that may be our enemies just to make sure they get the help hook or crook..I hope someone sees this comment and share it with the mayor
Failing infrastructure? That's what you have when the vast majority of the population in Jackson pay NO taxes
Maybe Brett can do some of them cards like his buddy, I'm sure the present Governor would start the bidding. Ukraine didn't Steal the money like Donald & Brett did, it's an American thing.
This is what happens when the inmates run the asylum. Nothing is their fault and the base cause of this is : RACISM!!!
Why repair the leaks
Billions upon billions to Ukraine, yet, American infrastructural development is behind…
Is my country corrupt?
The state of Mississippi is really Missbegotten. Its legislature is an embarrassment to the other 49 states, and its recent governors would be in jail if only its top LEOs knew what the word "law" means.
This is a very sad situation. I think they should call out Zelensky to send back some money to take care of this city.
The Mayor and the City Council are Black and have been Black people for the last 30 years. This is what you get, ineptitude…
Still can’t drink the water in flint, thank the democrats
