Jackson City Council’s ‘extreme disapproval’ of mayor
SUMMARY: During a special meeting at City Hall, some council members supported a resolution addressing the mayor’s conduct, while others believed it was one-sided. The meeting was disrupted by Mayor Lumumba’s sister, Rukia Lumumba, leading to the council president struggling to maintain control. Councilman Brian Grizzell disagreed with the resolution, stating it only focused on Councilman Stokes’ claims about the mayor using drugs. The resolution also criticized Mayor Lumumba’s chief of staff and other staff members for their disrespectful behavior towards council members. The mayor was absent from the meeting.

SUMMARY: Temperatures today are significantly colder compared to yesterday, dropping by 10 to 20 degrees across various locations, with readings in the 30s. Calm winds prevent wind chill, but dry air remains. A cold front is approaching, bringing reinforcing colder air just in time for the weekend, with expected lows in the upper 20s, causing significant freezes. Saturday’s highs may only reach around 50 degrees. Wind gusts over 20 mph may make it feel even colder.
