Hinds County District Attorney upset with cuts to office
SUMMARY: Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens expressed concerns that recent budget decisions by county supervisors jeopardize public safety. Despite raising taxes, the supervisors cut 33% of his office’s administrative and investigative staff and reduced salaries for four employees.

He criticized the supervisors for ignoring his funding requests while prioritizing a $450 million jail project.
