Lets see how many people embezzle that money in Mississippi. Watch out for Brett Favre.
Mayor doesn't care. Typical of Democratic. It's an emergency. People can't wait?
We have it actually but they gave it to Ukraine… just remember that
Jackson Politicians just got a pile of money to grift off of. Accounting is important for these peeps. Keep on em. They have effed you for years. Dont let it happen any longer
Hypocrite, Jackson, MS has been under Dems' control since 1901, that’s 122 consecutive years of incompetence, and the new mayor Chokwe Lumumba is another incompetent Dem.
Flint Illinois having the same problem and senile President Joe won't do it
President Joe giving to California why not Mississippi Tennessee I'm a worldwide historian and senator Bernie Sanders supporter Mississippi Tennessee are great states President Joe marched with the black church in Delaware he said that again
This has been a issue for 20 years. I grew up in southern MS and watch this. Jackson is sadly just a cesspool, the roads are in disrepair, water, utilities and crime. Jackson is a model for our communities, however it's a model on corruption and incompetence. My advice is leave if you can, save up and move. Get your family out, to a community that's safe, healthy and has opportunities.
We've dealt with this water crisis in Jackson, Mississippi for 20 or more years!!
