Waller distances himself from President Trump
Bill Waller was asked by the media what his relationship with Donald Trump is like. Normal question. Most Republicans say: “I support him!” Waller’s response? “This is a state race, not a federal race. He’s certainly got his share of issues right now.” Yikes.

NEWSMS – PSC votes to not allow utilities to charge customers for private or corporate jet expenses
Last week, the Mississippi Public Service Commission voted unanimously to no longer allow utility companies to charge customers for expenses related to private or corporate jets.
Northern District Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley stated that these expenses should not be the responsibility of customers.
“It’s a shame and a disgrace that utility companies would charge their customers for private, corporate jets and all the costs of operating them. I refuse to allow the customers to fund their luxurious lifestyles. If they want a corporate jet, they can pay for it themselves out of their own pockets,” said Commissioner Presley.
