We already know how dire the water situation has become in Jackson, Miss. The city’s lack of attention to the water infrastructure, thanks in part to the far-left focus of leadership, has let the city’s residents down, leaving many citizens without clean drinking water.
As PJ Media’s own Rick Moran reported back in September, the mayor was too busy chasing radical dreams to actually help his city. Referring to Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, Rick wrote, “in his attempt to lift the people up, he forgot about the rest of it — the dull, mundane, everyday ordinary business of government. The city is mired in a water crisis
Name of mayor is Lumumba, all you need to know.

A real dimwit as Mayor. Folks in Jackson, enjoy the suck. You earned it.

Like the Flint water crisis. It was years of local government neglect and mismanagement that has led to this problem. As a "minority " run city, everyone is afraid to point out the mismanagement and neglect for fear of being called a racist.

How the hell does it cost 'Billions' to repair the water infrastructure for a city of only 150,000 people? How much are they paying their workers?

There’s another indication of my advancing years that I can remember when it was an insult to say “So-and-so has two left feet” and now it’s a requirement for public office. O tempora , O mores!

They may have to put their far leftist political agenda to the side for awhile and hire some supposed or suspected “White Supremacists” to roll into town and legitimately and permanently fix their water supply system. These days that’s a very hard thing for far leftist politicians to do.

Only in America can you have a guy with a name like Chokwe Antar Lumumba get a law degree, become a mayor and then pursue leftist policies which are killing the country that gave you every advantage. What an idiot! Call Ron DeSantis, he will help you fix the problem in a couple of days.

Chokwe Antar's claim to fame is to oppose everything the Republican governor Tate Reeves says or does.
As a result, very little help has been forthcoming from the State House through the years.
It takes people with technical skills and know-how to run a Water Department...even if their skin might be White. Political appointees and friends of the Mayor, co-incidentally always of the Black persuasion, in positions of management and hiring, have brought about lack of maintenance as well as incompetence in the billing department. In a word....Fail!

They should do what countries in Africa do when they want clean water. Ask White churches to come in and dig wells. Problem solved.
With all the advantages we have in America and these people can't or won't run a city or town efficiently, you don't have to ask why Africa is such a hell-hole. And I don't care if that's racist, it's the truth.

FTA ... the mayor was too busy chasing radical dreams to actually help his city. Referring to Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba,
His career path follows on to Prime Minister of Angola.

Lumumba could be Eric Adams' brother, all cocktail parties and no useful contribution to city government. Electing your pets to positions of authority never works out.
#12, the people of Capetown South Africa have NO water for many hours a day and the level of the lake keeps dropping. They would love to have water with a little silt in it.

This is simply African carelessness and mismanagement transplanted to Jackson, Mississippi. You see the same thing in Haiti and the same demands for aid from smarter, more industrious people.

Li'l Chokwe thought he was being voted the Mayor of Wakanda. Turns out he wasn't. Because it isn't. And never was. And saddest of all, never will be, given the IQ of the typical Jackson, MS voter.

Not defending Lumumba, but 50+ years of the successive democrat administrations have kicked the can on all of Jackson's infrastructure. Not enough graft and votes in keeping infrastructure intact.

Jackson is 82% black. They voted a human rights attorney / activist as their mayor. This is the result of that decision when you elect someone with a big mouth but little common sense!!
