State Treasurer discusses unclaimed money across Mississippi
SUMMARY: Mississippi State Treasurer David McRae announced efforts to return unclaimed money, such as uncashed checks and dividends, to residents during a Rotary Club meeting in Columbus on October 7. He emphasized that many people may be unaware they have money waiting for them due to address changes or family deaths. McRae’s office has returned over $110 million in the past four and a half years. Residents can check for unclaimed property at the state treasury’s website, with an unclaimed money booth available at the Jackson fair. Average claims amount to about $200 per recipient.

SUMMARY: The Jackson City Council has approved a resolution to enhance police presence in high-crime areas by placing two officers in each patrol vehicle to combat violent crimes and drug activity. This decision, made unanimously, addresses concerns about officer safety and response times, which the Assistant Police Chief Wendell Watts aims to keep between three to five minutes.
