If they denied COVID funding to Jackson, MS, it will not matter what kind of documentation they have, the DOJ will jump all over them and prevail because it is Federal money...
That’s it. None has. Jackson wants the majority of the state’s allotment where there are other needs in the state.
Also, the state laid out the money to get the water plant back online. The city wanted “about a billion dollars” and the state got water back in the lines at a quarter million.
And what is STILL forgotten… the city also squandered the tens of millions they received from Siemens on the lawsuit over the water meter fiasco. They blew that money on other things and not the water system.

Oh, I agree with you that the State of MS did the right thing to a point... In my opinion the leadership in Jackson should be being prosecuted for waste, fraud, and abuse at the least...
The issue is, the DOJ is blind to all that and will focus on COVID funds being denied to the city by the State and not much else...
