MS Senate passes Jackson Airport bill to restructure board

By: Magnolia Tribune - March 4, 2016

Senate bill on Jackson Airport passes

Control of the Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport would shift to state officials and surrounding counties under a Senate-passed bill.

Senate Bill 2162, approved Thursday on a 29-18 vote, would replace the five-member Jackson Municipal Airport Authority with a nine-member Jackson Metropolitan Airport Authority…

…Governor Phil Bryant would pick two board members. Rankin and Madison Counties would each name one.
