Notice (Other)

Set Hearing: Status Conference set for 6/21/2023 10:00 AM in Courtroom 6A (Jackson) before District Judge Henry T. Wingate. On June 14, 2023, the Mayor of the City of Jackson, Mississippi, called a press conference to announce the City's distribution of free water filters to a certain class of citizens, who might be harmed by Jackson's alleged poor water quality. The Mayor stated that these filters would be free and obtainable from United Healthcare. The Mayor further advised the public that processing efforts of the drinking water are underway, and should show improvement in a few months. This court is concerned whether the Mayor's comments comport with the progress that has been made on water quality by the efforts of the Interim Third Party Manager, Ted Henifin. Concerned, then, that the Mayor's comments may have misinformed the public as to the current status of Jackson's water quality, and the alleged "danger" he discussed owing to the alleged presence of various chemicals, this Court hereby ORDERS a status conference on these matters. The Mayor is hereby directed personally to attend. Additionally, the Interim Third Party Manager is also ordered to attend in person this status conference. (nd)
