Jackson councilman pursues public safety proposal
SUMMARY: Councilman Kenneth Stokes is concerned about the lack of enforcement regarding “no weapons allowed” signs in businesses in Jackson. He claims that stores are ignoring the signs and individuals are bringing assault rifles into establishments. Stokes believes that while they cannot regulate guns, they can enforce the ordinance that prohibits entering businesses with weapons. He wants to ensure that children and mothers feel safe when going to stores or gas stations. Pastor CJ Bolton explains that he placed “no weapons allowed” signs around his church as a preventive measure to avoid potentially dangerous situations.

SUMMARY: Residents of West Jackson are frustrated by the long wait for street repairs. Mr. Johnson, a local, voiced his concerns over a growing pothole on Denver and Long Street, demanding full repairs instead of temporary patches. Despite some recent repair attempts, the hole persists due to ongoing water drainage issues from nearby apartments. City workers, including an employee named Isaac, explained that the water flow must be stopped before permanent fixes can occur. The area also suffers from illegal dumping, with tires being placed around the pothole as a makeshift barrier, further adding to residents’ frustrations.
