SUMMARY: The court ruled that the appeal regarding the state's takeover of the airport is moot as none of the original commissioners are still on the board. The appeal involved former commissioners challenging the takeover after Senate Bill 2162 was passed in 2016. The court sent the matter back to the lower court for further decisions. The city mayor responded, stating that the ruling did not adversely impact the city. The battle between the city and state over the airport has been ongoing for nearly a decade, with the state looking to replace JAMAAR with a regional authority.

SUMMARY: On Saturday night, the weather is expected to be mostly cloudy with numerous evening showers. Meanwhile, Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey is linked to a civil rights lawsuit involving two men, Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker, who were abused by a group of deputies known as “the Goon Squad.” A federal judge denied Bailey's request to dismiss himself from the $400 million lawsuit, emphasizing that the sheriff could still be held accountable for failing to supervise the deputies. The six individuals involved in the assault pleaded guilty to various charges and received prison sentences.
