  • Summary

  • In this episode of "The Sitdown with Russ Latino," we have a robust lineup to discuss recent developments in the Jackson bribery scandal. Last week, Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens, and Ward 6 Councilman Aaron Banks were identified as alleged co-conspirators. This scandal had previously led former Ward 2 Councilwoman Angelique Lee to plead guilty to bribery earlier this year.


    Russ is joined by Jackson City Councilman Ashby Foote, Mississippi State Representative Shanda Yates, and Public Service Commissioner De'Keither Stamps, all of whom represent communities affected by this situation in the Jackson area. They address critical questions about how to move Jackson beyond this challenging chapter and explore ways the state can contribute to revitalizing its capital city.
