Stokes: ‘Hell no’ to hiring of convicted felon as Jackson interim parks director
SUMMARY: Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba is facing criticism for hiring a convicted felon as the city's interim parks and recreation director. City Councilman Kenneth Stokes publicly expressed his disapproval by quoting lyrics from a song. Lumumba defended his decision, stating that he believes in giving people a second chance and that the city has previously implemented a policy of not asking about prior criminal convictions on job applications. The convicted felon, Steve Hutton, temporarily replaces the previous director as the city conducts a search for a permanent replacement.

SUMMARY: The U.S. House of Representatives removed Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his leadership role, with three out of four Mississippi representatives voting against the decision. Republican Congressmen Michael Guest, Trent Kelly, and Mike Ezell supported McCarthy, while Congressman Bennie Thompson joined Democrats in removing him. The vote was sparked by Rep. Michael Guest, who accused McCarthy of breaching an agreement made in January. This is the first time a speaker has been ousted through a resolution, and it is unclear when lawmakers will vote on a new speaker. Rep. Patrick McHenry will serve as interim speaker.

The agency highlights the benefits of hiring a diverse group of employees, citing statistics that show higher retention and growth rates for companies that hire people with disabilities.
