Fact Check: The Water Tanker in Downtown Jacksonville Isn't for the Puppetican Governor's Mansion; its for Trustmark Bank, gangbankers who 'pull the strings' and Own the Building Across the Street
From [HERE] A viral video showing a tanker truck parked across from the Mississippi Governor’s Mansion in Jackson has sparked speculation online that Gov. Tate Reeves’ home is enjoying special access to clean water while most residents of the capital city go without safe running water.
But the speculation is wrong.
Two separate Trustmark employees told the Mississippi Free Press that the tanker parked across the street from the Governor’s Mansion is on standby to provide water to Trustmark Bank’s Jackson Downtown Branch, located in the building directly across from the residence.
“(It’s) just in case something happens with the water,” one of the employees said. “It’s not for them over there (at the Governor’s Mansion), it’s for us.” She added that the office has not had to use it.
After this story first published, Trustmark Director of Corporate Communications and Marketing Melanie Morgan responded to a request for comment Thursday afternoon and confirmed the employees’ story.
“It is absolutely solely for Trustmark,” she said, adding that they brought the tanker in to have on standby “out of an abundance of caution.” Morgan said the bank is asking many employees to work from home to save resources, but that the tanker is there in case it is needed to help keep key facilities operating, such as air-conditioning system for keeping computer servers stored in the building cool.
