Mayor-elect Chokwe Lumumba will be http://www.jacksonfreepress.com/weblogs/politics-blog/2013/jun/19/inaugural-events-aplenty/">sworn in today at noon, but the proverbial cat may be out of the bag on his first announcement after being inaugurated.
On Saturday, Jackson State University put out a press release congratulating Deputy-Chief Lindsey Horton on being named the city's next police chief.
City officials have not confirmed that Horton has been chosen, but Lumumba hinted to television station WAPT to expect an announcement soon after he was sworn in today at the Jackson Convention Center.
Horton would replace Rebecca Coleman, whose four-year tenure as chief ended Saturday.
