Below is a political opinion column by Starla Brown and Thomas Kimbrell:
The implication is clear: exempting facilities and services from CON restrictions will expand access to them.
On January 28, a federal district court struck down Mississippi’s long-standing moratorium on the establishment of certain new health care facilities, calling the forty-year application of the moratorium “irrational.”

Lt. Governor Hosemann told reporters the bills were the result of legislators “wanting to get a head of the game.”
The Senate Appropriations Committee has passed a measure to transfer $20 million into the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency’s disaster assistance fund after an ice storm swept through parts of Mississippi.
The funds would come out of the state’s Capital Expense fund.

One measure would extend the validity of medical cannabis cards while another would create the “Right to Try Medical Cannabis Act.”
Two bills related to Mississippi’s medical cannabis program passed in the House of Representatives this week.
One bill extends the timeframe for a patient’s follow-up visit to keep their medical cannabis card valid, while a second bill creates a system where patients suffering from debilitating or terminal conditions not already on the state’s list of approved conditions can petition to try medical cannabis.

As predicted, the ice came, in buckets, so the forecast was a reality this time. As I told you last week, we were unconcerned for our comfort as we had that wonderful, ideal Honeywell generator that would save us from the freezing and bitter cold and from darkness.
My husband and grandson, Sam, checked both ours and their generators the day before the chill became a reality so we thought we were set for whatever came our way.

Did you expect such weather in Mississippi?
I hope all of you made it through the low temperatures, icy roads, breaking ice covered branches, and falling trees unscathed!
Everyone was busy trying to keep warm, keep chickens safe from freezing, providing shelter and warmth for dogs and cats outside, and at the same time keep freezers full of food from thawing and ruining.

This week one of my favorite things starts, The Olympics! For the next few weeks, the world will be focused on Italy and all the athletes who train their whole lives for this one moment that comes up every four years. Now the goal is not just to show up and perform well, but what makes the Olympics stand out is it's about the country, not necessarily the individual. Yes, you want to do well and bring home a medal to put in your room, but above all you want to represent your country well on the world stage. I thought about that in our Christian life too.

Robert St. John says sometimes we’re too hard on Mississippi. We know the flaws. We’ve lived with them. But we can’t see the forest for the pine trees, as they say.
Marco had never seen a pine plantation.
