LINK

Magnolia Tribune link

quote:

Owens was indicted in October 2024 alongside then-Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba and then-City Councilman Aaron Banks. Federal prosecutors alleged Owens helped facilitate more than $80,000 in bribe payments to Jackson elected officials while accepting at least $115,000 in cash for his own role in the scheme.

It would probably be easier to put all Hinds County officials in jail and then just release the couple who are found to not be corrupt.

Hinds County houses a community college north of Jackson. The new campus and dorms are in Rankin County. They house the nursing school, as well as all the trade classes, electrical, plumping, etc. During my sons orientation we went to the Hinds main campus. Nice folks, but you could tell that everyone working there was just vacuuming a check. Race wasn't even a factor. Everyone just existed.
