Predominantly black city in a state that elects a lot of racist politicians. Also see: Flint, MI

the city has known about its problems for DECADES and done absolutely nothing about it.

The system is owned by the CITY not the state or the feds.

The City has consistently done things to kick the can down the road and try to make others deal with it, but now they are out of proverbial road.

People want to blame the state or the feds for not giving them money, but FFS people PAY for the service, it should 100% self supporting, but the City of Jackson cant even bill the shit properly with millions of dollars of unbilled services from the water service identified in the past several audits.

so yeah just blame the state because yeah its 100% their fault
