SUMMARY: Months after gas explosions destroyed homes and cost a woman her life in South Jackson, investigation into the incidents revealed that natural gas lines in the city need repairs. Atmos Energy identified gas leaks in the area before the explosions, but considered them non-hazardous. The fallout from the explosions has led to concerns about gas pipeline safety in the city and statewide. Atmos Energy claims to prioritize safety and invest in enhancements, but concerns remain about the extent of the gas leak problem beyond Jackson. Public Service Commissioner Decatur Stamps emphasized the importance of safety measures such as calling 911 if gas is smelled and calling 811 before digging.

SUMMARY: The JTRAN union president, Charles Tornes, revealed that stress and exhaustion led to an apparent sickout in April. Employees have grievances with MV Transportation, the company managing them, including long hours, insufficient uniform allowances, and being written up for calling in sick. Tornes has tried to meet with Mayor Lumumba to discuss these issues. The city claims they only received one email from the union. Tornes stated that employees are overworked and underpaid, and hope to resolve their issues with the city and MV Transportation soon. The tool CLOY mentioned aims to provide safety and security while reducing the fear of crime.
