Seriously, He seems to be a stand up guy to me. No excuses, trying to get the city going again. Tough job. I wish him success. Jackson is no worse than many many other big old cities. Tons of infrastructure problems from years of paying no attention to water/sewer systems. Son lives in Pittsburgh, PA and bridges are rusting away there. Many should be condemned - with no hope of replacing them.

Jackson is worse than many other big old cities and cannot be compared to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh now has a diverse economy (financial, healthcare, technology, industrial) and is home to some good universities (Carnegie Mellon, Pitt, Duquesne, etc). Its population has actually stabilized in recent years.
Meanwhile, Jackson continues to hemorrhage all the things that count.
