"Former Jackson Official's Lucrative Salary at JXN Water Raises Concerns"
Jordan Hillman, a former top city official, is earning a salary of $200,000 a year while working for JXN Water, a third-party manager running the water system in Jackson. Hillman receives $130,000 from JXN Water as the chief operating officer and an additional $70,000 from the city as the public works director. This arrangement has raised concerns among city council members, as many other employees have lost their jobs and access to the state retirement system due to the phasing out of positions in the Jackson Public Works Department. Council members are calling for reimbursement from JXN Water for Hillman's city salary.
