Jeff Good, who owns three successful restaurants in Jackson, recently took to Facebook to express his discontent with the latest citywide boil-water alert that was issued by the Mississippi State Department of Health.
Good believes that the city should be held to a higher standard regarding the quality of water that residents and businesses use for everyday purposes. He is also irritated with the lack of transparency from Jackson’s leaders on the topic.
“Those of us who serve the public food and drink have a fiduciary duty to provide safe and wholesome products. The City should be held to the same standard. The lack of transparency and a clear plan of action is downright scary at this point,” Good wrote in his Facebook post.
The owner of Bravo, Broadstreet, and Sal and Mookie’s has kept his eateries in Jackson, even when many others moved out for a myriad of reasons. Nevertheless, Good is frustrated with the lack of relief that the city has provided to his businesses that have been so good for Jackson’s economy.
“I have lived in the city for 41 years now and I have never been more concerned,” Good continued. “We employ 250 people here in the city. We live here, in the city. We generate untold economic activity. We add to the quality of life — here — in the city. But we are exhausted. And we are scared. We need relief — the kind that will only come from honesty and transparency and action. True accountable action.”
