Senate passes HB 1020 conference report aimed at curbing Jackson crime

Published

on

The conference report allows the creation of one inferior court with an expiration date, codifies four special temporary judges for Hinds County, and expands Capitol Police jurisdiction by June 2024.

The Mississippi Senate moved forward on the second conference for House Bill 1020 late Thursday. The Legislation, which creates the Capitol Complex Improvement District (CCID) court system, has been one of the most discussed bills of the 2023 .

It was unclear on Thursday if the bill would move forward at all after a sudden adjournment of the House. Prior to bringing the bill up on the floor, State Senator Brice Wiggins (R), who handled the bill in the Senate, said he had expected the House to take it up first.

“We've stepped forward to help Jackson, for lack of a better word, get off its feet, and we stand here today, and the House has decided they want to go home for the day,” said Wiggins. “Chairman Lamar and I have worked really well on this and it's a shame if we can't get there.”

Ultimately, the bill was taken up by the Senate on the floor and passed down party lines by a vote of 31 to 15. It was held on a motion to reconsider by Senator Kevin Blackwell (R).

State Representative Trey Lamar (R) also indicated he expected the conference report to be presented in the House on Friday.

The new conference report makes a few changes to what the original bill and Senate strike-all amendment had proposed. Those changes include a combination of the two chambers' proposals, with adding appointed judges to the current court system and establishing a court system for the CCID.

Changes to the existing Hinds County Court System are as follows:

  • Four temporary special circuit court judges in Hinds County Seventh Circuit Court will be appointed by the Chief Justice to expire in December 2026.
  • Three full-time assistant public defenders will be added for the Hinds County.
  • Two full-time assistant district attorneys will be added for the Seventh Circuit Court.
  • The Hinds District Attorney could appoint one full time criminal investigator in addition to the ones already .

As for the new CCID inferior court, it includes:

  • Creation of one new inferior court for the CCID to handle traffic violations, ordinances, disturbance of the peace. The Judge will be appointed by the Chief Justice.
  • New boundaries for the CCID.
  • Three full-time assistant public defenders for the CCID.
  • Two attorneys to serve as prosecutors for CCID appointed by the .
  • Allow Hinds District Attorney to also prosecute cases within CCID.
  • This court system would expire in July of 2027.

The new CCID boundaries would be put in place starting in June 2024. They will extend from the west bank of the Pearl River all the way to Northside Drive and continue to encompass most of Downtown Jackson.

The pushed back date for boundary expansion came at the request of Governor Tate Reeves (R) and Department of Public Safety (DPS) Commissioner Sean Tindell, according to Wiggins. With the increased boundaries, Capitol jurisdiction will also increase to meet those new boundaries.

“We are setting them up for success,” said Wiggins, adding that DPS indicated they would need time to fill staffing positions to ensure they could adequately patrol the new CCID boundaries as the primary law enforcement agency.

The push back of the implementation of this extending boundaries also gives lawmakers time to determine if additional funding will be needed during the 2024 session.

There is another bill still alive, SB 2343, that would expand the Capitol Police's jurisdiction to the majority of the city of Jackson, but the Jackson Police Department will remain the primary police agency.

“Outside of the CCID, Jackson Police Department (JPD) has primary jurisdiction, but Capitol Police have jurisdiction in the whole city but just not primary outside of the CCID,” said Wiggins.

Capitol Police will also be required to wear body cameras at all times as long as funds are available to the Department of Public Safety. DPS will be tasked with creating a 9-1-1 system for the public to access Capitol Police if they are within the CCID boundaries and require a quarterly meeting between JPD, Capitol Police and the Hinds County Sheriff's Department, which Wiggins said was also a request of citizens.

The bill also increases the amount of sales tax revenue to be deposited in the CCID fund to 9 percent. This fund goes to maintaining buildings and within that area.

Senator Barbara Blackmon (D) spoke on the bill, accusing it of creating a police state within the capital city of Mississippi. Her argument echoed the original objections seen in the House when the bill was presented, alleging racist motivations for the legislation.

“Those kinds of things, I thought, happened in authoritarian areas, some place like Russia. But now we gonna have it right here in our capital city,” said Blackmon.

She said that if the state was truly concerned about helping the city of Jackson, they could put the money given to the CCID into the city instead.

Senator John Horhn (D), a member of the Jackson Delegation, said this has been the most difficult and disappointing legislative session of his 31-year career, particularly because of the bills directed at his district.

“The state has basically left Jackson to its own devices,” said Horhn. “We take as much resource as we can out and then we blame Jackson.”

Horhn said he does believe that at some point they are going to lift up the capital city and do so in a way with “everyone at the table.” He said he is tired of not being asked to sit at the table and discuss the issues to find solutions.

“Mississippi, one day we are going to fix that,” said Senator Horhn. “How do we figure out how to together is what I want to know?”

While Horhn said he believes his colleagues in the Senate do truly want to help Jackson, he does not believe proposals like HB1020 are the way to do it. He does not support for the bill in its current form.

The final member of the Jackson Delegation to speak on the bill was Senator David Blount (D). He said in his 16 years in the Legislature, he has never had constituents ask him more about a piece of legislation than this one.

“Everyone in Jackson knows what House Bill 1020 is,” said Blount.

He said efforts to improve Jackson's crime issues were made last year, but believes this bill was a step back from that.

Senator Blount took issue with the fact that the new appointed positions, including the judges, were not required to live in Jackson. He said the bill is not fundamentally sound because it would divide the city and provide separate representation by people who are not elected. This includes the 9-1-1 provision that would create a separate emergency line for residents within the CCID area.

“We could figure out a 9-1-1 system, if you'd sit down and talk to us. But there's no incentive to come together and solve these problems. It's just handed down to the folks who live here,” said Blount.

Blount pointed out that the original passage of the CCID language in 2016 was intended to be a road and infrastructure bill to support buildings and areas utilized by the state for government work. He said that while Jackson is not perfect, and has its problems, they won't be solved unless they are done by working together.

Senator Wiggins closed on the bill prior to a vote, saying that often the image visitors to the city of Jackson take home with them is one of fear. He said his own guests who have stayed in Jackson shared they were fearful to walk from their hotel downtown to the Capitol building because of crime.

“Is that the image that we want people going back to their state and talking about our Capitol with? No,” said Wiggins.

Senator Wiggins said this issue is not about race but helping the citizens of Jackson in a time of need. Wiggins pointed out the support shown to the cities devastated by the recent tornado that went through Rolling Fork, Silver City, Amory and others.

“People are tired, scared, angry, and frustrated. They want action by elected officials,” Wiggins read from a letter by a constituent.

Wiggins noted that the bill contains elements that many who are speaking against it, actually pushed for. He asked members to set aside politics and vote for what is right.

Original House Version

In the original House bill, two new inferior court systems would have been created with appointed judges, along with two additional prosecuting attorneys and State Defenders. The courts would have had the authority to hear criminal and civil cases.

The House version would have also expanded the limits of the Capitol Complex Improvement District all the way to County Line Road at Ridgeland. These new boundaries would in turn expand the jurisdiction of the Capitol Police and require body cameras on all officers.

This new CCID area would have still include much of downtown Jackson and added the Belhaven and Fondren business and residential areas. Within the residential area, the majority of Jackson's white population live in this area, causing claims of racial inequity when the bill was introduced on the House floor.

Members of the Hinds County delegation alleged racist intentions behind the bill and a disenfranchisement of black residents in the city.

“You cannot come into a community and try to change it without having input from the community,” said State Representative Chris Bell (D) at the time. “Since I've been here, it's been an issue with not understanding the values we have in the City of Jackson. We are not incompetent, our judges are not incompetent, our mayor's not incompetent.”

Original Senate Changes

When the bill made it to the Senate, major changes were made. Instead of establishing a new court system that would not have been governed by Hinds County, the Senate offered to add additional temporary special judges appointed by the Chief Justice to the current court system. The Legislature is already funding three of those temporary judges in an attempt to help clear up the backlog.

The Senate version would have also provided for three additional Assistant District Attorneys, three Assistant Public Defenders and a second Assistant County Prosecutor that would have been permanent.

The Senate strike-all amendment removed all CCID language and chose not to handle any jurisdiction expansion for the Capitol Police. There is another bill still alive that would address that.

The Jackson delegation did indicate that they saw improvement in the Senate version but many still pointed to the lack of resources within the State Crime Lab as the real reason for backlog in court cases. They also asked for residency requirements for those appointed judges and others.

Staring mortality in the face at Christmas

Published

on

My friend Jarrod is dying after an eight year battle with cancer. He's lived a life worth celebrating, one that has drawn people to Christ.

I was going about my business this when I received a text that stopped me in my tracks. A college friend was being moved to hospice care.

Jarrod Egley was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in early 2017. In the fall of 2018, tests revealed the cancer had spread to his lungs and Jarrod's cancer was classified as Stage IV.

For almost eight years from the date of the original diagnosis, he's fought. Through surgeries, radiation, endless rounds and cycles of chemotherapy, and experimental immunotherapies, he's fought.

Last year, I flew out to California and spent some time with Jarrod and his wife, Emily. We sat outside one night. He acknowledged to me that it was not a question of ‘if', but ‘when' the cancer would claim his . I told him I was sorry, because what else is there to say?

We talked about our faith, about the trials of Job, about Jacob wrestling with God, about Paul's affliction. But mostly we reflected on our time together in school, on the good things, and the mundane things, that happened since.

Jarrod and I met at Tulane . One Sunday morning in the Spring of my freshman year, I rose from my dorm room bed, dressed, and began walking down Saint Charles Avenue in New Orleans with no particular agenda. I walked until I came across First Baptist Church and the thought flickered in the vacuous recesses of my brain to enter.

Advertisement

Some would say it was a lark. The Calvinist in me says providence. The walk that morning changed the trajectory of my time at Tulane and my life on the whole. Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and the Baptist Collegiate Ministry became central to my life and put me in regular league with Jarrod. I met him first at the BCM and we ultimately ended up attending church together.

Jarrod was a faithful servant on and off campus. He helped organize a group of us that would weekly make our way down to the Esplanade seawall on the backside of the French Quarter to feed the homeless. On Friday nights, he could be found at chapel with a small cadre of foregoing Bourbon Street for early 2000s worship music.

Jarrod was a loyal friend in those years. Never rude or biting. Not prone to an insult for an easy laugh. Persistently encouraging. An engineering student, his mind worked linearly and was oriented to problem solving. There were never a lot of wasted words — always a lot of deliberative questions when he disagreed or did not understand a point. He exhibited intelligence, empathy, and the kind of moral conviction that sets someone apart.

He also had a wry and dry sense of humor and a penchant for beating people at Madden football. He was fair-to-midland on the ultimate frisbee pitch. Along the way, there were crawfish boils, Mardi Gras outtings, poorly attended Tulane football games, and more than a decent amount of wing eating.

Advertisement

After college, I lost touch with Jarrod. He moved back to his home state of California. He got married to his college sweetheart, who could not have anticipated her husband's journey, but has been a steady and constant helpmate throughout. Jarrod became a very successful engineer and a bourbon connoisseur. One of his bucket list trips took him to Kentucky, where he got to meet and became friends with bourbon “Hall of Famer” Freddie Johnson of Buffalo Trace acclaim.

Jarrod at Buffalo Trace Distillery (Spring 2022).

Sitting in his backyard nearly 20 years after graduating from Tulane, I saw many of the same qualities I had grown to admire when we were students together. I saw a husband who doted on and supported Emily's passions. But I also saw someone whose body had been beaten to hell and back, who was tired, and who, like Jacob, had been wrestling with God. We quickly fell back into friendship, which perhaps is the mark of good friendship.

We all have aspirations in our youth — for the kind of spouse or parent we might be, for what we might accomplish, for what we might experience. Along the way, dreams are satisfied, modified, or they die on the vine. The clock inevitably works against all of us. That night in Oceanside, California, Jarrod, a numbers guy, saw that time was not on his side. He believed, as we all would, that he still had more to give, more impact to be made, and more things to see and experience.

After that , Jarrod and I stayed in touch, most frequently triggered by of his cancer. It has been mostly the bad variety in recent months. Now spread throughout his body, down to his bones, he has lived in constant pain for months. Not even a steady diet of morphine and an implanted pain pump solve for it. Jarrod's been hospitalized twelve times just in 2023.

But his matter of fact sense of humor and way of seeing the world remains in tact. So too does his faith that despite these trials, he has always been safe in the hands of Christ.

There are people in the world who believe that life is random, disordered, and without reason. I am not among them. I think my friend is staring mortality in the face at Christmas for a reason.

For thousands of years before Christ came, there was darkness and despair. Sin and shame gripped the hearts of men. Until one holy night, God, in His infinite love, mercy and wisdom, sent His son to save. Jesus is the light of the world and the hope of man. He has won victory over and Jarrod's will not be the exception. Jesus came for Jarrod, and for you.

For thousands of years since Jesus's death, burial, and resurrection, His disciples have been used as divine instruments to point the way to God. Jarrod is among them. If life expectancies were the measure, Jarrod would be at the midway point for most people. He's made a lifetime of impact for the Kingdom and on other people.

So, to my friend Jarrod, you were placed here with a purpose. You have your race. You are loved. And when this chapter closes, you will hear “well done, my good and faithful servant.” There is no greater evidence of a life well lived.

While Jarrod and Emily have been fortunate to have health insurance, their portion of the medical bills so far in 2023 have eclipsed $30,000, and Emily is facing additional uncovered expenses during Jarrod's hospice care, a night nurse that costs over $400 a night. If you would like to defray the cost, a contribution can be made at their Go Fund Me page.

1. Congressional retirements mounting as 2024 election cycle nears

Retirement and departure announcements are piling up ahead of the start to the 2024 election cycle. The New York Times has developed a Retirement Tracker that currently shows 22 Democrats and 11 Republicans who are in Congress now will not be seeking re-election next year.

“Dozens of members of Congress have announced plans to their seats in the House of Representatives, setting a rapid pace for congressional departures, with more expected as the 2024 election draws closer,” the NY Times reports. “Given Republicans' razor-thin House majority, the wave of exits has the potential to lead to a significant shake-up next year.”

2. Texas, Daily Wire, The Federalist sue U.S. State Department over media censorship

The U.S. State Department's Global Engagement Center has come under fire as Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton along with The Wire and The Federalist have filed a federal lawsuit alleging that the department funded technology that could “render disfavored press outlets unprofitable.” They claim that the department has helped social media – Facebook, YouTube and X (formerly Twitter) – to censor free speech while funding technologies used to censor right-leaning news outlets such as theirs.

New Civil Liberties Alliance is representing The Daily Wire and The Federalist. Paxton and the outlets claim the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), a British think tank, received a $100,000 grant from the State Department in 2021, and NewsGuard, which rates the “misinformation” levels of news outlets, received $25,000 from the State Department in 2020, according to the lawsuit.

According to the State Department's website, the Global Engagement Center's mission is to direct, lead, synchronize, integrate, and coordinate U.S. Federal efforts to recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining or influencing the policies, security, or stability of the United States, its allies, and partner nations.

As reported by Reuters, the lawsuit cited a GDI-produced list from December 2022 that ranked The Daily Wire and The Federalist as among the 10 “riskiest sites” for news while the least-risky included The New York Times, Associated Press and NPR. Reuters notes that the lawsuit alleges such “blacklists” are reducing revenues to The Daily Wire and The Federalist along with their visibility on social media and ranking results from browser searches.

JXN has announced new rates and fees coming in 2024. Those who are not paying will be at risk of shut offs.

“You can't forgive bills, so we have to be creative in how we part that,” said Henifin in reference to Mississippi's laws that prevent giving away water.
