Probably been raping the maintenance budget for years and pocketing the money…. Got to be Trumps fault….. the people who vote these folks in get what they deserve!!

[Jim W N]

May have something to do with this.

Mayor of Jackson, MI.

[butlerweave]

Chokwe Antar Lumumba , did he make his name up

[Little Ray]

30 years of “deferred maintenance” and suddenly it’s eveyrbody else’s problem, too?
Cut all the rest of the city services and pour money and manpower into the water system until it’s fixed. Maybe confiscate the property and money previous mayors and city councilors.

His father was also mayor from 2013-2014 and died in office.

[butlerweave]

You can bet he takes care of himself and his friends

[AppyPappy]

But the good news is, it is easy to get killed there.

Who knew that Johnny Cash was really singing about no water in Jackson?

We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout,
We’ve been talkin’ ‘bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.
I’m goin’ to Jackson, I’m gonna mess around,
Yeah, I’m goin’ to Jackson,
Look out Jackson town.

Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health.
Go play your hand you big-talkin’ man, make a big fool of yourself,
You’re goin’ to Jackson; go comb your hair!
Honey, I’m gonna snowball Jackson.
See if I care.

When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow. (Hah!)
All them women gonna make me, teach ‘em what they don’t know how,
I’m goin’ to Jackson, you turn-a loose-a my coat.
‘Cos I’m goin’ to Jackson.
“Goodbye,” that’s all she wrote.

But they’ll laugh at you in Jackson, and I’ll be dancin’ on a Pony Keg.
They’ll lead you ‘round town like a scalded hound,
With your tail tucked between your legs,
You’re goin’ to Jackson, you big-talkin’ man.
And I’ll be waitin’ in Jackson, behind my Jaypan Fan,

Well now, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper Sprout,
We’ve been talkin’ ‘bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.
I’m goin’ to Jackson, and that’s a fact.
Yeah, we’re goin’ to Jackson, ain’t never comin’ back.

Well, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout’
And we’ve been talkin’ ‘bout Jackson, ever since the fire went...

Leftist democrat politics lead to Third World Government.

[dfwgator]

Ms. Jackson if you’re nasty!

[PLMerite]

[They are saying it is due to 30 years of deferred maintenance. (seriously!)]

I bet the money’s been going somewhere for 30 years.

[woodbutcher1963]

Similar story in Boston where the guy in charge of the Metro train system got a $90K bonus for the last two years.
Meanwhile, the Orange Line is shut down for a month for maintenance. Nobody rode the trains during covid for two years. Now, they shut it down.

Half a trillion for student loan socialism is much more important.

[Dave911]

Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba.....Democrat activist.....city falling apart....I’m shocked!

[Jim W N]

Wait a minute.

I got one thing that says Daniel Mahoney is Mayor of Jackson MI.

I got one thing that says Chokwe Antar Lumumba is Mayor of Jackson MI.

Jackson Michigan (MI) vs Jackson Mississippi (MS)

[blackdog]

Trades people are vanishing like farts in the wind. They are being replaced by hires who can't weld, read prints, wire a control panel off a print, cut and bend pipe, or perform mathematical calculations to make new parts for and function.

Idiocracy is upon us ahead of schedule.

[Leep]

Hmm..wonder where did all the money budgeted for it go?

[Retgearjammer]

And the Democrats under Obama and Biden spent how many TRILLIONS on INFRASTRUCTURE ???
