Some Mississippi politicians debating whether some positions should be appointed instead of elected
SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves is aware of the ongoing debate in Jackson regarding whether some elected officials should transition to appointed positions, but he is inclined to let the legislature decide. State Insurance Commissioner Mike Cheney advocates for his role to become appointed, yet faces opposition from Public Service Commissioner Chris Brown. Brown argues that such a change would concentrate power away from voters, transferring it to a select few bureaucrats and lobbyists. The discussion continues as stakeholders navigate the potential implications of these proposed changes.

Salvation Army Tupelo renovates spaces for homeless veterans
SUMMARY: The Tupelo Salvation Army is refurbishing old rooms to create an 8-bed dormitory for homeless veterans, providing them a free stay. This initiative responds to an increase in veterans’ homelessness in the area, partly due to its proximity to Memphis and the local VA. Last year, 60 to 70 veterans sought assistance at the Salvation Army, accessing meals, social services, and shelter. The veterans’ dormitory is set to open on November 11th, reflecting the organization’s commitment to supporting those who have fallen on hard times. Volunteers are actively involved in the renovation process.
