Biloxi, Gulfport discuss panhandling problems with Coast business owners
SUMMARY: Biloxi and Gulfport leaders are working together to curb panhandling by encouraging donations through the “Better2Give” campaign, which funds vouchers for essential items distributed by the Gulf Coast Foundation and law enforcement. Organizers hope the program will encourage people on the streets to seek help from nonprofits in the area, funneling resources towards overcoming addiction problems and mental health challenges. The campaign will kick off with a benefit concert on June 1, 2023.

SUMMARY: Special counsel Jack Smith has requested to drop all four felony charges against President-elect Donald Trump related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Trump was indicted in August 2023 for conspiracy and obstruction related to the January 6 Capitol attack. The dismissal highlights significant historical parallels to Richard Nixon’s resignation and indicates Trump may begin his second term without these legal challenges. Despite the prosecution’s strength, the Justice Department adheres to a policy against charging a sitting president, and Trump’s spokesman called the dismissal a victory against perceived political weaponization of justice.

SUMMARY: Voters in central Mississippi, including the Delta and Gulf Coast, will return to the polls to decide two judicial races following a November 5 election that failed to produce a majority winner. Justice Jim Kitchens faces Republican state senator Jenifer Branning for a seat on the Mississippi Supreme Court, and Amy St. Pe’ competes against Jennifer Schloegel for the Court of Appeals. The elections, deemed nonpartisan, have manifested partisan divides, with Kitchens supported by Democratic areas and Branning backed by Republicans. Runoffs take place Tuesday, with results to follow after polls close at 7 p.m. CT.
