Concerned for city of Columbus
What happened to the City of Columbus? Once a beautiful historic city looks to be crumbling. Once a well run prosperous city, is in financial jeopardy and crime has increased tremendously. Who is running the city? Or who is not running the city? Will Columbus become another Aberdeen or West Point? A city with crumbling infrastructure can be repaired. A city without opportunity and high crime will eventually fall. Who will pick up the pieces? Columbus residents must elect officials that will protect and preserve the city. Will Mississippi University for Women survive if the City of Columbus does not? It is time to remove or prosecute, any city official that is not doing the job Columbus needs.
