SUMMARY: Governor deemed this project the largest capital investment in Mississippi's history. Jackson City Councilman Kenneth Stokes is addressing confusion about new parking meters downtown, activated on May 1st. Stokes received numerous complaints about parking tickets despite correct meter use. He proposes a 90-day grace period to educate people on using the meters properly. Stokes stated, “Instead of giving citizens tickets they do not deserve, we need a 90-day grace period to educate them on meter usage.”
