Mississippi's State Lawyers Fight NAACP's Discrimination Lawsuit

Mississippis state lawyers are defending a discrimination lawsuit from the NAACP against three top officials over a water infrastructure grant program. The state argues the plaintiffs lack standing and that Jacksons water woes are due to city mismanagement, not the grants. The programs caps have been criticized for unfairly limiting help for Jacksons crisis. In court, the states lawyer admitted she wasnt fully familiar with the programs rules, and the judge ordered her to study them. The legal battle is expected to continue as both sides dig in.
