The Mississippi House recently went all-in to legalize online sports betting in the state.
House Bill 4074 passed 101-10, a surprisingly large margin, especially when you recall that the much-hyped school choice legislation got through the House by only two votes before dying in a Senate committee.

Hattiesburg Mayor Toby Barker reads the proclamation honoring Dr. Andrew Weist of The University of Southern Mississippi during Tuesday’s city council meeting.
Much of the Monday work session of the Hattiesburg City Council was occupied with talks regarding the request for approval of a “Group Care Home” for a property located at 2306 Clayton Place. The Planning Commission recommended denial of the conditional use request after residents and homeowners of the neighborhood spoke out in opposition at the meeting.

Too many young people still leave Mississippi to chase opportunities elsewhere. MCPP is on a mission to help change that - by creating the conditions for real, sustained growth so our children and grandchildren choose to stay, build lives, and thrive right here in our state.
The good news? Mississippi is no longer a laggard, but leading.

Poor Speaker White. His omnibus school choice bill got short shrift in the Senate. His resort now appears to be name calling. “Senate leadership has aligned themselves with the ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center, the Mississippi Democratic Party, and the status quo,” he whined.
