OT: When does accountability begin?

[RotorHead]

City, state saying little on water manager selection process

Contractor would manage city's water plants for 12 months.

I handle federal funds on a daily basis. Every dollar has to be accounted for at all times. Whether it be state or federal. When will movement begin to dig into this administration?

Ya’ll read that last statement quoting the mayor at the bottom of the article and tell me there isn’t something fishy going on

Lumumba should contract Brett Favre to manage it.

That mayor is over his head. Jackson is really screwed up. It is getting to a point either the State or Federal Government needs to step in and get it straighten up. If that is even possible.

Favre is too ethical to get involved with those guys. ** (actually, maybe not **)

That place is such a mess that nobody really wants to fool with it particularly while the Dems are in control in Washington. Maybe after the election....,MAYBE.

At what point do the citizens of Jackson start rattling the cage, with vigor?

I don't know how much federal control matters. Vendors want to get paid timely. If MEMA is the counterparty, there will probably be a lot of interest. But if the City of Jackson is the counter party, you are talking about having to deal with incompetent city officials, not getting paid timely, and probably getting blamed for problems that result from the city interfering where it shouldn't be involved and then not being responsive on issues where they actually should be involved. At the very least, any reputable contractor is probably going to throw a 25-30% ***** tax on whatever their normal price would be.
