SUMMARY: Residents of Jackson, Mississippi, are protesting against new parking meters operated by SP Plus, claiming they prioritize profit over people. At a rally outside City Hall, they voiced concerns about the impact of parking fees on the elderly and disabled, with citations reaching $24 and escalating to over $40 if unpaid. Former Supervisor David Archie emphasized that parking shouldn’t be a major issue. Councilman Kenneth Stokes labeled the fines excessive and detrimental to local businesses, noting ongoing discussions to address these concerns and the potential termination of the contract with SP Plus.
