GOP repeatedly opposed infrastructure upgrades. Now Mississippi's capital has no safe water

(not to worry Mississippi Taint Reeves wants to stop birth control too)


As many as 180,000 people in Jackson, Mississippi will not have access to safe running water for the foreseeable future, state officials said Monday night—the latest manifestation of a longstanding crisis in which the city's residents have been made to suffer the consequences of chronically underfunded infrastructure, compounded by a worsening climate emergency.

"Do not drink the water," Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said at a press conference. "In too many cases, it is raw water from the reservoir being pushed through the pipes. Be smart, protect yourself, protect your family, preserve water, look out for your fellow man, and look out for your neighbors."

Reeves, a Republican who has refused to prioritize upgrading Jackson's failing infrastructure throughout his two years in office, declared a state of emergency and announced, "We need to provide water for up to 180,000 people for an unknown period of time."

Last February, Reeves acknowledged that Jackson's water problems can be attributed to "50 years of negligence and ignoring the challenges of the pipes and the system."
