Columbus cuts deal for people owing fines with Amnesty Program
SUMMARY: The City of Columbus is offering an amnesty program for individuals with outstanding fines in Municipal Court. The program allows people to enroll in a payment plan to settle old fines, with the city waiving the contempt warrant fee of $412 until April 15. The original fine must still be paid, but the court will work with individuals on a payment plan if needed. The initiative aims to help individuals who may have forgotten to pay fines or faced challenges due to circumstances like incarceration or job loss. The program requires individuals to speak with administration in person before April 15 to avoid additional fees.

SUMMARY: The City of Jackson is losing revenue due to broken parking meters, prompting the installation of new touchscreen kiosks in the downtown area. Despite the $1.00 per hour parking cost and a two-week grace period, some residents are concerned about additional expenses. Others see the kiosks as a positive step towards progress. Suggestions for using the revenue generated include infrastructure improvements and addressing other needs of the city. Overall, opinions on the kiosks are mixed, with some residents supporting the move as a way to collect additional revenue. Enforcement of the new parking requirement will be done by the Jackson Police Department and the meter managing company SP Plus.
