Expecting Jackson to have basic functionality like every other Mississippi municipality isn’t unreasonable
The other 2.75 million Mississippians should not be on the hook for Jackson’s poor management.

KELLY: To Help Mississippi Families, Congress Should Combat Inflation, Not Tackle U.S. Tech Innovators
Submitted by Doug Kelly “Creating obstacles for American tech companies to innovate and to offer low prices to consumers is the wrong priority for Congress,” Kelly writes.

Who’s purchased your news in Mississippi?
With mainstream media in massive freefall, it’s as easy to obscure sources that fund media outlets as it is to fund political campaigns – maybe easier.
