Travelers unhappy as Jackson airport announces new security scanners may cause longer wait times
SUMMARY: Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers Airport (JAN) in Mississippi announced new security measures, including state-of-the-art CT scanners, aimed at enhancing safety. However, this upgrade could lead to longer security wait times, prompting traveler dissatisfaction. The airport experienced its busiest year in 2023 and encourages arriving 2-3 hours early during installation to manage potential delays. Despite improved security, many travelers expressed concerns over longer lines and felt that the airport should prioritize maintaining existing facilities, such as malfunctioning escalators. A timeline for how long delays might last has not been provided.

SUMMARY: In 2023, the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) received a historic one-time allocation of $2 billion. However, officials, including Northern District Transportation Commissioner John Caldwell, are advocating for a recurring revenue source to maintain essential roadways and bridges. Caldwell emphasized the need for at least $400 million annually to sustain infrastructure, noting that current fuel tax revenues are decreasing due to a rise in electric vehicles and improved fuel efficiency. Potential funding solutions include an internet sales tax on electric delivery services. There are ongoing efforts in the state legislature to address these funding challenges.
