SUMMARY: Several businesses in Ocean Springs were concerned about the possibility of a curfew on alcohol sales after reported incidents of bullying in the area.

The public was informed about this and the council was exploring other solutions to address the issue. The community continues to face problems with bullying, and there is a need to consider alternative approaches to tackle the problem.
Not one seat was empty in the public forum in Bay St. Louis on Tuesday night as dozens lined the walls and waited to voice their concerns.
