Blackout tags in Mississippi, learn the significance and how much money has been raised
SUMMARY: Spikeout Tag was established to financially support First Responders' families by collecting an extra fee of about $40 per purchase. This fee contributes to a death fund for families who lose loved ones in the line of duty. Popular in Mississippi, legislative changes increased the benefits: from $100,000 to a base amount of $150,000 per fallen officer/firefighter, with up to $225,000 per child (max four children). The total death benefit now stands at $250,000. After two years, the fund has accumulated over $7 million, and there's a legislative hope to use part of the money for police and fire department grants statewide.

SUMMARY: Happy Friday! We're looking at our current rainfall status for July. June ended dry with a 2-inch deficit, and early July is nearly an inch behind, with only 0.31 inches of rain in Meridian today. Notably, other areas received more. Portions of Noxubee and Clarke Counties are abnormally dry, but recent rain has been beneficial. More rain is expected south of I-20 tonight and over the weekend, with showers likely into Saturday and Sunday. Tropical Storm Barry, likely to strengthen, could bring additional moisture to Mississippi early next week. Overall, expect warm, muggy weather with scattered showers and thunderstorms.
