Actor D.L. Hughley shared an Instagram post that said Ukraine has been given billions of dollars, but the city of Jackson, Mississippi, has yet to receive any funding to fix its water infrastructure. Jackson was allocated $20 million dollars.
"$12 billion more for Ukraine on top of $100+ billion while Jackson, Mississippi has yet to receive any funding to fix their water infrastructure," said a Sept. 27 post on Instagram shared by actor D.L. Hughley. The post was aThe Instagram post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.
The post appears to reference a bill that was under consideration at the time of the Instagram post and that passed Sept. 30. The legislation allotted $12 billion in new aid to Ukraine. But what the post does not acknowledge is that the same legislation also allocated $20 million to the city of Jackson for repairs to its water infrastructure.
It’s a small portion of the overall funding required to completely fix the problems in Jackson. And while the city might not have the money in hand yet because the legislation just passed, it’s misleading to say the city was completely ignored.
