Mayor Tony Yarber’s Orange Cone Committee CAN'T decides which streets...
Why is this still such a hard process. You at a citizen vote for something you don't believe is going to work, and it proves to be true. For some reason. The issue that surrounds financing the street repair in the city of Jackson seems to be harder than quantum physics. But this is more proof. That the constant kicking of the can down the road for the next person since '88 has placed us almost to a point of no return. We are patiently awaiting the state of emergency speech. We know that it is coming. What is a question that you would ask Mayor Yarber?
