Federal appeals court reverses ruling on mental health care in Mississippi
SUMMARY: A federal appeals court has overturned a ruling that criticized Mississippi for institutionalizing residents with mental health conditions instead of providing community care. The court stated that the federal government failed to prove that the state discriminated against people with mental health conditions. The ruling also stated that a remedial order by a U.S. District Judge exceeded the scope of liability. Attorney General Lynn Fitch praised the decision, stating that the court’s opinion reminds Washington that states have the right to set their own priorities. Mississippi lawmakers have acknowledged the shortage of social workers in mental health and are working to address the issue.

SUMMARY: The holiday season increases fire hazards due to Christmas trees, decorations, and festive cooking. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), December is a key month for home fires, with Christmas Eve and Day among the top days for incidents. Common causes include Christmas trees, decorative lights, and candles, which lead to an average of 150, 790, and 5,700 fires annually, respectively. Unattended cooking remains the leading cause overall, with Thanksgiving topping the list. NFPA emphasizes that many of these fires can be prevented through awareness and safety precautions, ensuring a festive, fire-free season.
