Just another example of a “red state legislature” failure. Then and Michigan just don’t want their citízens to take clean drinking water for granted!
Cohen’s Law....”the government is your enemy until you need a friend.”
That's what happens when you don't collect the taxes needed for public works.
Why would you say that? He's forward leaning on infrastructure projects, especially water projects. He understands that thousands of water systems in the US are aging, inadequate, and vulnerable to climate change induced flooding.
Yup. Just like the rest of the red states surrounding it. Hard to feel sorry for voters that don't believe in the reality of climate change or investing in infrastructure
I feel sorry for the sane people that live there. A long time ago when we were living in the South Mrs. Lucas got a slightly better job offer than the one she had. I asked her why we'd move to the state that was somehow worse than the one we were living in? Sometimes I'd ask my co-workers why they didn't get tired of being first in everything bad, and last in everything good? Uniformly they'd say, "Thank God for Mississippi".
I agree it is primarily a state/local issue with Federal help but goddammit, the state/ local governments need to be responsible for their maintenance! Sadly, it is something that local governments can easily get sloppy with their oversight. But, you cannot go thru life cutting taxes...sooner ir later, you have to start paying for stuff.
Des Moines and Cedar Rapids has infrastructure systems in place....Des Moines was using “city water” within a month I’d initial flooding...and DSM has a lot more water than Jackson."...Jackson doesn’t even have safe pipes to move its water...and a lot of the “maintenance” has to be paid for via taxes and water rates. Des Moines gets to pay for its nitrate enriched water from upstate by taxes and water rates...very little federal help from the Feds and none from the stTe.
Oh shit, my bad. I forgot. When it's a red president and blue governor it's the president's fault. If it's a red governor it's the governors fault. I forgot how the rule works when we have a blue president. Won't happen again.
Yes, and they have learned from this. Iowa City has made changes, too. We were super close to losing our water plant in 1993.
would you have been okay with the Biden administration forcing Jackson to make the repairs and upgrades theyve known they needed to make for years now?
Weird. The libs didn’t seem to bring up the whole California disaster that is impending. Third world country am I right WWJD?
You are a running joke actually. How haven't you deleted your account yet is beyond me.
But it certainly isn't the Dem governor's fault in California for their 'infrastructure' issues.
