Mississippi legislative leaders announce committee chairs, vice chairs
SUMMARY: Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann and House Speaker Jason White recently announced committee leadership for the new legislative session. While most assignments remained unchanged, some shuffling occurred due to vacant positions. For instance, Sen. Chuck Younger replaced former Sen. Jenifer Branning as chair of the Transportation Committee. This led to other shifts, such as Sen. Neil Whaley moving to Agriculture and Sen. Ben Suber taking over his former Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks role. A full list of committee chairs and vice chairs for both the House and Senate is available on the Mississippi Legislature’s official website.

Gov. Tate Reeves: Flags should fly full staff on presidential inauguration day
SUMMARY: As President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20 approaches, controversy surrounds flag protocols. Following the death of Jimmy Carter, President Joe Biden ordered flags to be flown at half-staff for 30 days. However, Trump objected to having flags at half-mast during the ceremony, calling it undesirable. House Speaker Mike Johnson echoed Trump’s stance, announcing flags at full staff for the inauguration, before returning to half-staff the next day to honor Carter. Several state governors, including those from Texas, Alabama, and Mississippi, have also expressed support for raising flags on inauguration day.
