Backlog: Uncollected fines and court costs run into millions for Jackson

by Anthony Warren

Sun Staff Writer

More than a million dollars is available to the city of Jackson if only they could collect it.

Jackson’s municipal court system is carrying a backlog of unserved warrants numbering in the thousands which city officials say are valued at more than a million dollars.

The city currently has approximately 20,000 misdemeanor warrants outstanding.

And it’s a number that’s likely to hold steady, with no place to put violators and hundreds of new warrants being issued each week.

Wyatt Emmerich

As The Gleaming white eight-foot-long African bull elephant tusks neared Bill Boykin’s body, he had an overwhelming desire to run, a desire which would have been fatal. Boykin stood between the raging bull and two defenseless women. If he ran, the elephant would charge, trampling all in his path.

Does Electoral College have a campus?

By
Richard Shedd

There are two major things going on this time of year. There is football - high school, college and the NFL - and politics. This got me thinking of how the two are so much alike.
