Summary
Chairman Jackson requested $10,000 for RIFA’s food-security work and described community corrections funding shortfalls in the 24th Judicial District, asking for $200,000 nonrecurring and $600,000 in employee retention bonuses; the committee adjourned without taking votes.
Chairman Jackson presented a $10,000 request for the Regional Interfaith Association (RIFA) in Jackson to support food-security operations and a series of community corrections needs. He described how an updated RFP and statewide funding division left the 24th Judicial District short $195,000 and requested $200,000 nonrecurring to bridge that shortfall so day-reporting centers could continue operating.
Jackson also sought a $600,000 nonrecurring appropriation to Department of Corrections to provide one-time $3,000 retention bonuses to community corrections employees. The committee concluded presenters were finished and adjourned without votes during this session.
