More restoration work needed at Thalia Mara Hall before facility can reopen
SUMMARY: The Jackson City Council addressed concerns regarding Thalia Mara Hall, which was closed in early August due to mold and other health issues identified by a State Fire Marshal report. The report revealed mold, human waste on the balcony, and outdated fire extinguishers. The city submitted an action plan for repairs, involving a multi-phase cleanup costing $37,000, including tests. Mike Williams, the deputy director of Human and Cultural Services, expressed doubts about the venue being ready for The Nutcracker in December, estimating a reopening timeframe of four to eight weeks for the facility.

SUMMARY: Thaddieus Cooper and his sister, Artista Garner, were arrested for attempting to defraud Mississippi’s unemployment system while Cooper was incarcerated. State Auditor Shad White reported that Cooper asked Garner to apply for benefits on his behalf, despite him being ineligible.
