This is a try hard, know nothing post by Tariq.
Congresswoman Jackson Lee represents a district in Texas, not Mississippi. but more importantly she's the co-chair of the Congressional Pakistan Caucus. I'm assuming Tariq didn't know that, or don't care.
Bennie Thompson is the US Congressman that covers most of Jackson. And he has actively been in the mix in reference to the water issue.
Rep. Bennie Thompson said he still has not seen a plan that the city of Jackson has to repair its crumbling water system in the long-term.
