Jackson Mississippi water system has failed. Did their Congressmen vote for infrastructure investment?

Any city in the world's richest nation without clean water is an indictment on the whole nation.

Climate Change has made "natural" disasters more often and worse in the last two decades.

No it hasn't and has nothing to do with the topic

State anyway

I didn't note where you reside. please post where you've lived?

Since CarsomyrPlusSix didn't respond to my question, I suppose I must infer that s/he is a callous conservative and registered to vote for the Republicans; the party of sociopaths who don't have empathy for other US Citizens.

Fuck empathy.

You pay for your shit, not my problem.

Nope. Nation. I'm an embarrassed american citizen.

Jackson Mississippi is in a crisis. They have no water for drinking, washing or toilets

Jackson, Mississippi, mayor says he hopes water service can be restored this week, as residents endure lines for bottles | CNN

It was only a matter time before the water system in Jackson, Mississippi, failed like it did this week, authorities said, leaving residents with no reliable running water to shower or brush their teeth and forcing schools and businesses to close.

www.cnn.com

”The water system has been troubled for years and the city already was under a boil-water notice since late July.”


EVERY Mississippi Congress member and Senator voted against the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Bill. A Bill that provides funding to upgrade water systems

Mississippi is one of our poorest states with crumbling infrastructure
Yet their Congressmen turned their back on struggling citizens and voted against public infrastructure investment

As if they would have used it for that purpose....

 

[2aguy]

Yes
That is why we are THE UNITED STATES and help those states that need it

Mississippi is our poorest states and has long depended on Federal Funding

The Infrastructure in Bidens bill would not have only helped Jackson’s water system as well as roads, bridges, power grid, internet throughout Mississippi

Yet, Mississippi’s Republican representatives voted against it

The funding from that bill would simply have gone to democrat party cronies for decades of make work pretend.........nothing would have been fixed......tried to ride the California High Speed Rail? Yeah, you can't, because it still hasn't been built...

we are far from the richest nation,, have you seen our debt lately??

what it is is an indictment of the local officials that failed at maintaining their resources,,,

 

[marvin martian]

Yet the RED state controls. Mississippi, the red state hole of America.

It's not about the state. Things like MUNICIPAL water quality are the purview of the city. This isn't difficult to understand. Your fellow DemoKKKrats simply don't care about the black residents of their city.

Shouldn't this be the state's responsibility?

What is in the bill

TITLE I--DRINKING WATER

This title authorizes a variety of programs within the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that support drinking water infrastructure.

Specifically, the title reauthorizes through FY2026 and revises the drinking water state revolving fund program, which provides financial assistance to states and water systems for infrastructure projects. In addition, it reauthorizes through FY2026 existing programs and establishes new programs to support drinking water infrastructure, including programs that

• address emergencies (e.g., cybersecurity events) affecting drinking water systems;
• protect sources of water (e.g., rivers, lakes, and groundwater);
• assist the public water systems of small and disadvantaged communities;
• assist low-income households located in rural areas to maintain access to drinking water and wastewater treatment;
• reduce lead contamination in drinking water; and
• support drinking water and sanitation projects on Indian reservations.

NOTE: EVERY Mississippi Congress member voted against this bill

And it wouldn’t have done a single thing for Jackson in time to prevent this. This is a failure of local, city government, not the state or federal government.

 

[AZrailwhale]

Yes, yes it is.

So, the TN Valley Authority is...

The TVA was just ONE example of FDR riding roughshod over the Constitution,

 

[AZrailwhale]

Okay, how are these pork?

Are you kidding? Or are you willfully blind.

We are THE UNITED STATES

Says who? We have 50 state governments for a reason. Where is it written that local infrastructure is the responsibility of the federal government?

For years you people have been bitching about the red states allegedly taking from the blue states. Now, you're complaining that they aren't. Make up your minds.
