JONESBORO, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Several Jonesboro residents are claiming their rights have been violated. Mayor Leslie Thompson says the group has filed a class action federal lawsuit. That's after, the mayor says, their voting rights are being taken away and their hard earned tax dollars are being misspent. According to Thompson, residents are not happy with the people who have usurped the power over the mayor and the city council.
"These citizens claim that their due process and equal protection rights afforded
by The Constitution have been violated," the mayor said.
A news conference is scheduled for Monday, at the Jonesboro City Hall, starting at noon about the lawsuit.
