WLBT responded to Frank Melton's press conference on Highway 80 with this story:
"Highway 80 in Jackson is home to prostitutes, thieves, and drug dealers and business leaders have had enough. Now the area is attracting heated debate and political agendas.
Once known for it's thriving business community, Highway 80 in Jackson is now struggling to keep commerce alive. Fighting crime and preventing businesses from leaving the area is a major issue in Jackson's mayoral race."
