City of Columbus makes change to nepotism policyCOLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) – The Columbus City Council has made a change to its nepotism policy. City leaders want to minimize that friction without having to pass over possible applicants just because they are related to a city employee. City leaders believe the new policy provides safeguards and could help with recruitment, especially in certain areas. So that is why we rejected that policy, withdrew that policy, and we had to come up with a new one.
