SUMMARY: The Mississippi Senate passed Senate Bill 2628, voting 35-14 to establish a new water authority to take over Jackson’s problematic water system. The approved bill calls for a nine-member board with appointees from the governor, lieutenant governor, city council, and mayor. Despite support from third-party water manager Ted Henifin, nearly all Jackson representatives opposed the bill, criticizing the involvement of a senator who resides nearly 200 miles away. The authority, aiming for a September 1, 2024 launch, would purchase the city’s water infrastructure using zero-interest bonds. The bill now moves to the House for further consideration.
