Mayor to negotiate with Richard’s Disposal
SUMMARY: The Mayor and City Council have been in a legal dispute over the trash collection contract for the past two years, but it seems a deal with Richards Disposal may soon be reached. Mayor Lumumba announced that a committee has selected Richards to collect Jackson's trash, as their current emergency contract expires on March 31st. There is expected to be a significant increase in residents' monthly garbage bill if Richards secures a long-term contract. The City Council has questions and wishes to discuss the issues with Richards before finalizing the deal, especially considering the ongoing federal lawsuit against the city from Richards last year.

Beth Ann White’s attorney asks court to disregard verdict
SUMMARY: Attorney Kevin Camp has filed a motion asking the court to disregard the jury's verdict in the case of a woman convicted of causing a fatal crash in Hines County. The attorney argues that the verdict should be overturned and a new trial granted because the state's expert was unable to determine the woman's blood alcohol content at the time of the crash. The woman was found guilty on four counts of aggravated DUI and a fourth DUI offense. Camp claims that the verdict is impossible due to the lack of concrete evidence regarding the woman's blood alcohol level.
