Legislator suggests enacting ‘crazy’ Jackson takeover law
Does a state legislator really want the state of Mississippi to take over the city of Jackson?

“Under no circumstances would Gov. Bryant sign legislation granting him and future governors authority to take over the city of Jackson or any other municipality in Mississippi,” said his spokesperson, Clay Chandler.
