Heading toward spring of 2026, Daylight Savings Time will begin Sunday, March 8, at 2 a.m. The changing of the season will bring more springlike temperatures and longer days. With Daylight Saving Time, the clocks will “spring forward” one hour. Sunrise and sunset will be about one hour later beginning March 8, bringing longer evening. I have always preferred when Daylight Savings Time begins it feels like the true start of spring. This gives us later daylight hours to enjoy more time outside, to walk, do yard work, attend ball games and enjoy a host of other outdoor activities.

Citizen initiatives are not the topic that will get the most attention among those who watch what the Mississippi Legislature does. Still, the persistent unwillingness to replace the initiative process ruled illegal by the state Supreme Court five years ago makes it clear lawmakers aren’t interested in this issue.
On Feb. 11, the full Senate in a voice vote tabled a concurrent resolution that would have allowed citizens to propose new state laws, or amend or repeal existing ones. The tabled bill missed a deadline for action and died the next day.
