Mississippi Senate passes part of its plan to restore ballot initiative process
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Senate has progressed with legislation to revise the state’s ballot initiative process. Senate Bill 2770 was narrowly passed with minimum Republican support, lacking specifics on signature requirements but outlining new criteria for future initiatives. Requirements include a single-issue mandate, identification of funding sources without using certain state funds, and a legislative review period. The bill stipulates a maximum of two initiatives per ballot during major elections and suggests a 67% supermajority requirement to pass an initiative. The higher threshold raises concerns about the impact on grassroots efforts and aims to protect against external influence. The House’s version contains different provisions, implying any final bill will be a compromise.

SUMMARY: The IRS announces special tax benefits for U.S. Armed Forces members and their families. Key benefits include tax-free combat pay, extensions for filing taxes for those in combat zones, and excludable Armed Forces dependency allotments. Low to moderate-income service members may qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which could be up to $7,830 for 2024. Additionally, active-duty members can deduct unreimbursed relocation expenses from military orders and permanent changes of station. The IRS aims to provide comprehensive support to simplify the tax filing process for military personnel. More information is available on their website.

SUMMARY: Tyler Selby, a former worship leader and real estate agent from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, faces up to 30 years in prison for producing child pornography. He was identified after U.K. authorities recovered a video sent from a U.S. social media account, which depicted sexually explicit conduct involving a minor. Selby reportedly recorded the video using a young boy in his custody at a Jackson County home and acknowledged knowing it would be transmitted online. He has served as a music minister at several Baptist churches. Sentencing is set for March 6, 2025, with the case investigated by Homeland Security.

SUMMARY: An investigation is ongoing following an officer-involved shooting in McComb that resulted in one death. Officers responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle near 212 25th Street, where two individuals exited the vehicle. After one brandished a weapon, officers fired their weapons, killing the armed individual. A second suspect was taken into custody, while others in the vehicle fled. Law enforcement is searching for a 2016 Dodge Charger with Mississippi tag PJP357, last seen traveling west on Highway 98. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is handling the case, which will be reviewed by the attorney general’s office.
