Jackson councilman holds meeting on new city budget
SUMMARY: Jackson City Council President Aaron Banks discussed the details of the new $422 million budget for 2023-2024 with residents at a town hall. One of the major achievements of the budget is providing pay raises for firefighters and police officers without raising taxes, by reallocating funding. Other notable aspects of the budget include using one percent tax to repair residential streets and reducing the budget for the mayor's office by 15 percent. Banks also mentioned negotiations for a new emergency garbage collection contract before the current one expires in 2024. Banks expressed concerns about the potential closing of 16 Jackson Public Schools and the need for community engagement in decision-making. If the potential closures were known sooner, efforts could have been made to bring students back to J-P-S from charter schools or other districts.
