Mississippi Insight for July 14, 2024: City and State
SUMMARY: Jackson Police Chief Joseph Wade and Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba reject City Council's push for employment contracts for police and fire chiefs proposed by Councilman Kenneth Stokes, aiming for more job security and innovation in the fight against crime. Mayor Lumumba argues the council lacks the authority to mandate contracts, and Chief Wade emphasizes he didn't seek the job for personal gain but to improve the community. Governor Tate Reeves signed four bills to better support families of fallen officers and increase police accountability and training, showcasing Mississippi's commitment to backing its law enforcement while addressing misconduct transparently.
Jackson's police chief and mayor push back hard as City Council members call for the police and fire chiefs to be put under contracts. Also, Governor Tate Reeves signs legislation to better support the families of fallen officers while tightening oversight of police misconduct allegations. And why is Mississippi's secretary of state applauding the end of so-called “Chevron deference?” Hosted by 12 News' Byron Brown and produced by Tom Wright.
