I've always said, these deep red states are truly there own worst enemies. Govenah Reeves, won't be winning any high marks for communication skills either.

My question is, just where did all the money go to? Incompetent city officials no doubt and all them need to be kicked out of office. However, the state government is about as useful as rotten lumber. Maybe The voters need to hold the Mississippi state government accountable at long last.

Stop voting for policies that do not work and idiots that uphold your warped view on reality. The capital of Mississippi has no clean water and they cannot even shower or flush the commode. We can find time to ban books, whine about woke culture, pass more anti-women laws, and pass more religious freedom nonsense. Clean drinking, no we cannot find time for that.

Shameful.

Uhhh, they had floods that damaged the pumps.

It's important to blame the city water problem on the state because the mayor and 6 of 7 city council members are democrats.

You would hope the state would be doing some sort of oversight or inspections. Mississippi is one of the half dozen states that make up third world America so I'm not holding my breath for such organization down there.

Name the half dozen you refer to.

Name the half dozen you refer to.

Kentucky, West Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi. So it’s not exactly a half dozen. Sue me. All of those states have populations and large areas that fit the bill. West Virginia and Mississippi are infamous for third world conditions in their rural areas. You could throw in southern Ohio and southwestern Pennsylvania too. Third world America isn’t something I just made up either. The word that comes to mind is devastated.

There are several areas of rural Alabama and Mississippi that do not have drinking water nor properly operating sewers. The commonality? These areas happen to be where poor Black folks live. I am sorry, but this is a lack of state oversight and care. They don't care about the poor minorities that live a few miles from them. That's the m.o. of these Southerners. Separate but equal may not be the law any more, but these institutions still keep Blacks down.

I'll hang up and listen while you tell me this is Brandon's fault.

Yes The treatment plant(s) did fail but where did the money go? It certainly does need to be pointed out that the affected area has a majority black population. I cannot help to think, if this were a posh white suburb then things would be different.

The knee jerk reaction goes like this: " A majority run Democrat city!" "Socialism at it's best" " Lets go Brandon" and other such right wing immature conclusions.

I did say, there is clearly mis-management on The City's part but the state governments in places like: Alabama, Georgia, Louisianan, Mississippi , and Arkansas are total rubbish.

You forgot northern Louisiana and upstate South Carolina.

Perhaps you should go first and I’ll drive. Hazard pay for me dealing with you and having to give you a smoke break every 5 minutes. You can even wear sunglasses at night when we have a full tank of fuel.

The presence of companies doesn’t automatically mean the population is having a phenomenal time or something.

Exactly... those factory workers aren't making big money... they are barely making it at all.
