The club, Outcast Motorcycle Club, has defended their actions, stating that they can't help the noise from their motorcycles. The couple, particularly concerned about the health of the wife, has contacted the police multiple times for assistance. Jackson Police Chief Joseph Wade has stated that if the club is found to be a nuisance, they may take action to shut it down. The club, with a permit to operate at the location, may have to consider relocating if the situation worsens.

SUMMARY: Mississippi towns and cities are relieved after lawmakers reached a deal in the final days of the Legislative Session to address the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS). The bill, awaiting Governor Tate Reeves' signature, removes power from the PERS Board and requires any employer contribution increase to be recommended to the Legislature. The bill also stops an immediate 5% employer contribution increase, instead implementing a gradual half a percentage point increase over five years. Hattiesburg Mayor Toby Barker, president of the Mississippi Municipal League, sees this as the first step in an ongoing issue, with $110 million allocated to PERS by the Legislature.
