In addition to lower life expectancy, obesity, and smoking, could it be the Republican governor?

Quote:
Top House Democrats launched an investigation Monday into whether Mississippi’s Republican leadership blocked funding from reaching the city of Jackson, which is grappling with a failing drinking water system.

Homeland Security Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Oversight and Reform Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) asked Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R) to explain how the state doled out more than $10 billion from the American Rescue Plan Act and $429 million from the bipartisan infrastructure law for water projects.

“We urge you to devote adequate funding to Jackson to ensure residents have access to safe and healthy drinking water and to avert a future water crisis,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter.
