Here are the top three stories today in Jackson:

1. A Jackson Councilman wants the city to pay those who help the police solve an October triple homicide. Kenneth Stokes suggests the city pay $2,500, which would come out of the general fund. He hopes this will get more people to speak up about crime, if approved. (WLBT)
2. Hinds County supervisors bickered over who the board president is. David Archie and Credell Calhoun both claim to e the president, though the board voted to allow Calhoun to remain president until issues with Archie are resolved. The board adjorned until Tuesday. (WAPT Jackson)
3. The Jackson airport's future is in the hands of the U.S. Fifth Circuit. The court heard arguments this month about whether members of the Jackson Municipal Airport Authority have standing to file suit. Leaders are awaiting the court's ruling. (Northside Sun)

From my notebook:

• As you prepare to head to a Wildlife Management Area (WMA) this season, download the WMA Check-In App. Through the WMA Check-In App, you can check-in and out of a WMA even without cell phone coverage; however, it's best to download the app and create an account before heading to a WMA. (Facebook)
• The Jackson Zoo celebrated the birthday of Miracle, the male Spider Monkey. They can live to be over 40 in zoos, so at 19, he is still very young! (Facebook)
• Mississippi Market Co-op's new year wellness sale is next week! Don't miss your chance to save 25% on your favorite supplements, vitamins and protein powders. The three-day sale will be open to everyone at all three stores and via curbside pickup. (Instagram)
