SUMMARY: Gautier has received $1.2 million from the Federal Railroad Administration to fund the design of an elevated bridge at the Dolphin Drive CSX Railroad crossing. A 2022 feasibility study recommended this solution to reduce accidents, alleviate traffic, and improve public safety. The project will address long-standing issues, including frequent train blockages that disrupt commutes and hinder emergency services. With over 30 incidents annually, this improvement will ensure uninterrupted access for residents and responders. Local leaders, including Sen. Roger Wicker and Congressman Mike Ezell, supported the project, which will enhance safety and traffic flow in the community.

SUMMARY: The FDA announced a ban on Red No. 3, a synthetic dye linked to cancer in animals, which is commonly used in various foods like candies and cereals. This decision is a win for consumer advocacy groups who petitioned for its removal due to cancer risks and potential behavioral effects on children. Manufacturers have until January 15, 2027, to reformulate products, with an additional year for dietary supplement producers. Red No. 3, identified as carcinogenic since an 1980s study, is already banned in cosmetics and several countries. Some U.S. companies have begun eliminating the dye from their products.
