Bishop Crudup Eyes Airport Board Seat | Jackson News

Jackson’s Mayor John Horhn is pushing to appoint Bishop Ronnie Crudup to the Jackson Metropolitan Airport Authority board — a bold move just after an eight-day trial over the airport’s future. With the city and board locked in a decade-long legal battle to keep Mississippi from taking over operations, this nomination feels like a strategic chess piece. Councilman Ashby Foote backs the Bishop, praising his leadership and community gravitas — a sentiment many locals likely share. But the appointment isn’t final: city council approval is still pending, and a judge’s ruling in the ongoing trial could still reshape the board’s direction. If approved, Crudup could bring much-needed fresh insight as the airport navigates its uncertain future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
