As to Senator Harkins’ bill to create an airport board made up of representatives from surrounding counties, and was signed into law in 2016, it’s been tied up in the courts bc the COJ Doesn’t want it set up like that. I believe it’s in Judge Carlton Reeves’ Court and has been for some time with no idea when he might make a ruling as to who gets the airport.<br />So in the meantime, another time we have to ask this question: when will Jackson ever get its act together and that’s putting it mildly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-13705115863146072812022-11-25T08:36:58.335-06:002022-11-25T08:36:58.335-06:00November 24, 2022 at 12:35 PM

Plenty of towns in this state cross county lines (Hattiesburg, Union come quickly to mind.)<br /><br />Part of Jackson is in Madison County as well.<br /><br />Part of the airport property is not in Jackson, but in Flowood. But the airport itself is part of the incorporated limits of Jackson.<br /><br />Besides, what's your point? The issue here is not where the airport is but where the commissioner lived.
