A red state ?
Red state like MS run by Republicans have known this problem for long time but done nothing to fix it.
People have power to remove these lawmakers. Your vote truly matters.
Where are the flood swales that feed into several ponds?
Follow Africa and China's green belt lead in water retention to minimise flooding.
Just ensure Climate Bill funds are NOT stolen by fraudsters like the Covid funding was.
No water bills to pay right??
Exactly why I had to move from Mississippi I hate I did that but it was necessary for me and my daughter better way of life
This is what you get for voting "Blue"…..decline of ciity services because of pure incompetence in leadership and low IQ unqualified workers. Dim-O-Krats have destroyed more cities than all natural disasters.
This has been going on for 30 years. This isn't a racial issue. It about not repairing what is broke.
Mississippi will be begging for the liberal Biden Federal money real soon here….
Kids can't possibly learn in today's violent atmosphere. Add free lunch programs being eliminated or rationing food, bad water……..not enough teachers….! SOMEONE BETTER FIX THIS NOW!!!!!! 😘😘😘😘😝🤐🙄
And since this aired just hours ago, the problem has since gotten much, much worse
How is the possible in AMERIKKKA?
Years of incompetent black leadership is to blame.
America it's about time you started rolling up your sleeves °~•.⭐️.•~°
Call in the Military. They know how to do this-infastructure
Thanks for doing a news story in this. It’s been an ongoing issue for years.
Many of Jackson's problems are the result of large numbers of tax payers moving out of the city to the suburbs, leaving behind more infrastructure than the remaining residents can support. There are a number of reasons why this is worse in Jackon MS than many other cities in the US but Jackson's situation sheds light on one of the risks of the sprawling development many US cities have employed for decades.
Too bad, their elected law makers voted against the infrastructure bill so they shouldn't deserve any funding

is this Africa???
Uv light to sterilize particulate filters. We live in chemical soup https://youtu.be/z7JTdViHdMI
Let me guess, a very heavily Democrat city that is corrupt and misspent tax money, so that its city water supply is in ruins. Research…….yep, checks out. 78% African-American, the Democrat candidate for mayor always wins…………..nice job Jackson Democrats. Great management. You're as good as the Democrats in Flint.
❤Only for fans over 18 year⤵️ Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine empru.ONLINE Brünette und eine andere Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenna ich 4 wählen würde
Folks you can buy water filters even buy water purification tablets at Walmart and they never go bad if you don't have a emergency plan for water at the very least then life will become a struggle of trying to find safe drinking water.
meanwhile they built another military ship for 13 billion dollars
Drink alkaline water
People get all bent out of shape when facing a petroleum shortage. Just wait until water shortages get dire.
Morality will go out the window.
Do they need it? https://youtu.be/WmhlaMKFy1I
I'm done sitting tight for the award advance since i acquire$23,000 every 12 days of my investment..
Black communities are really suffering. This is crazy!
Oh Lord. More of this to come. So many problems originate with climate change.
