I wonder who the mayor there is?
The Honorable Chokwe Antar Lumumba!!!!
And now let’s play, “Let’s Find The Nearest Republican and Blame Them!”
Hmmm. Guess which party!
He is the son of former mayor Chokwe Lumumba, who served briefly before his death in 2014.

Are the Mayor and Governor both Democrats?
Which not surprisingly coincides with the last time a Republican held office there.
“How fast is the USA sinking to third-world sh!thole status?”
As fast as the DemocRATs, universities, and the media can push it.
And we need a mass-extinction of the above to prevent it.
Nope - governors an R.
Red state, blue city.
160,000 people affected...
and they cannot flush the toilets.
I would have no problem digging a hole in my backyard...I may not like it...but it's bio degradable....and the grass will be greener..
They wanted Africa, they got it!
This issue should be highlighted on all republican candidate speeches and slogans
Vote republican or you will not have water due to democrat incompetence
Democrats cut the water to want to ensure you don’t flush them down the drain!
I’m guessing some blue (red) turkey.
Oh, they’ll blame the Republican Governor for it.
Holy Crap! So it’s basically the water system equivalent of DC’s Metrorail system.
Democrat held territory
The Republican Governor's name is Tate Reeves. From today's WSJ:
The water crisis in Jackson had exacerbated longstanding
tensions between the Republican-dominated state government
and the Democratic-dominated city government over services,
policing, infrastructure and other issues.In 2021, Gov. Reeves suggested the state might consider taking
over the city’s water system. City officials have rejected
such proposals in the past.
Just think of all the green energy they will be saving by not having to run the municipal water pumps.
