Robert Johnson seeks mayor’s post to fix city’s decline

Robert Johnson seeks mayor’s post to fix city’s decline

Two months ago, Robert Johnson pulled out of his driveway, believing he knew every pothole on his street.

“Then I hit one that wasn’t there the day before,” he said, “and nearly tore the rubber off my tire.”

Continuing his journey across Jackson, he encountered a traffic jam – the result of a comatose traffic light, a malfunctioning railroad crossing guard, trash bags spilling garbage near the road and a broken-down city bus that was being towed.
