Up to 90% of households in Lowndes County, Alabama have failing or inadequate wastewater systems, causing raw sewage to back up into homes, pools on lawns, and spill into nearby streams and rivers. e360.yale.edu/features/filth…

So ... why isn't this being solved?

These kinds of issues need to be addressed and fixed ... “This is a problem throughout rural America… Poor communities across the U.S. are pretty much left to their own devices [when it comes to sanitation].”

@GovernorKayIvey Lowndes County is not a great place to live, work, and raise a family in Alabama with inadequate sewage systems🦨

Happy 201st Birthday, Alabama! Since 1819, our state has seen her share of historical moments. AL’s beauty lies in both our wide-ranging landscape & our people. Through our perseverance over generations, we’re continuing to make AL a great place to live, work & raise a family.

Pictures of poverty don’t do it justice. If you talk to these folks and learn how they live is something else. Sure they may be uneducated and all but they try as they can. I live in Arkansas so it’s everywhere.

Per the demographics, they are not supposed to live, who cares if they live, oh & some "pick yourself up by bootsteps and move". And behold Terri Sewell part of @TheBlackCaucus, the caucus that is Blk in name only, but never policy for their Blk constituents does nothing

The real question is why do they keep voting Republican? Alabama has some of the poorest people in the country. My theory is they hate us more than they love themselves.
