Say he drinks the tap water then sips from a water bottle
I would say that city officials should all get fired but this appears to be a long history of former officials neglect and irresponsibility. I would say if state and federal government has to step and bail them out, they should be able to install officials in there until the problem gets fixed.
Here is an example of the water infrastructure problems we are having: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTMNwtTsYCg
This is what needs attention not pronouns
don't sue the city. sue the state government. incompetent administration for years now.
If he gets sick, dies, or turns green after the sip he'll know he went too far brown nosing.
Remember to put some away for lawyers. Make them responsible always.
Is it the city or the state that's responsible? I thought that the city has tried for years to get the state to provide funds and that the state made some shady deal with a company to fix the problem but they failed to get the job done.
You hear not a peep from the green democrats of clean water, water purification, removing PFAS. nothing. TRUMP2024

What kinda stupid PR stunt was that? Here's a sealed water bottle and let's pretend this is local water 😑
Sorry but bombs, bullets, foreign aid and foreign national's are top priorities for America. 30+ trillion in debt but no soup for American citizens.
But we send billions overseas( no matter how terrible what’s happening anywhere) take care of our own sht first!
Disgusting….how is this legal?
I drink it everyday, I drink it everyday. Slightly wet his lips with the bottle.
How many homeowners have led pipes or old pipes in their homes . Especially from the city valve to their house.
What a dumba$$ drinking that water like he understands what everyone is going through
Sue the governor not the mayor.

The Iranian government has blocked people's internet in Iran due to anti-government and anti-women's rights demonstrations. The last time he did that, he killed 1,500 people in Iran in a matter of days, many of them women. Please be their voice to let the whole world know about the criminal regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This demonstration was started after a 22-year-old girl was killed by the government for not wearing a hijab
That sip speaks volumes. Glad Jackson residents are standing up for themselves.
❤Only for fans over 18 year⤵️ Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine pas36.Online Brünette und eine andere Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wennf ich 4 wählen würde
Modern day oppression of black people. Brett Farve literally stole 3 million+ in Mississippi welfare and he sitting free 😂. It will always be harder for black people in this country 100%
Inexcusable ignorance of their peoples' needs and rights, after taxation and inefficient representation.
