State asks judge to dismiss Jackson airport board lawsuit
Mississippi officials are asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit that seeks to maintain the city of Jackson’s control over the state’s largest airport….

…In papers filed Tuesday, state attorneys argue Stallworth lacks the legal standing to sue. They also say the legislature and the governor can’t be sued for their official actions.
