PINSON The Pinson City Council passed a resolution Thursday, Feb. 4, 2021, proclaiming that the city of Pinson is a human trafficking free zone. Resolution 21-7 passed with one abstention from Councilor Robbie Roberts.
“It’s basically trying to send a signal to the world that human trafficking, yeah, we’re done with that,” Mayor Joe Cochran said. “It’s just an egregious affront to humanity at the end of the day.”
The resolution was originally presented during the Jan. 21, 2021, council meeting, where Roberts made a motion to remove “zero-tolerance” wording from the document. After some discussion, Roberts withdrew his motion and the resolution was tabled for two weeks.
