SUMMARY: Robinson's family expressed outrage and plans to reject a settlement deal with the city after accusing city leaders of breaking the agreement. Last month, Robinson's sister, Christine Wade, decided to reject the $17,000 wrongful death settlement after it was made public, despite it being confidential. A judge acknowledged that while a confidentiality agreement was signed, the city cannot legally keep settlements confidential, dismissing claims of fraudulent misrepresentation. Wade's attorney, Dennis Sweet, criticized the ruling, emphasizing the importance of confidentiality in mediation. Robinson died in 2019 during a police encounter, and his family settled with an ambulance service for an undisclosed amount. Sweet is considering an appeal.

SUMMARY: The new act increases funding for small airports, including Meridian Regional Airport. Previously, these airports received $1 million annually in entitlement funding, but the new act raises this to $1.3 million. The president of the Meridian Airport Authority supports the bipartisan effort, emphasizing its importance for infrastructure safety. The increase addresses rising costs over the past few years, allowing airports to better manage their projects. This additional funding alleviates financial pressure and enhances airport capabilities. The act now awaits the president's signature to become law.
