SUMMARY: In downtown Aberdine, there is a special business called Pierce’s Place that donates all its earnings back to the community. Named after the owner’s son who has Down Syndrome, the store is currently a Christmas shop that gives back to various organizations. Not only does the store donate all its profits, but it also prices items lower than other stores so that everyone can afford to buy something. The owner, Judy Rash, has a big heart for the community and has been known to give items to those who cannot afford them. The store will be open until Friday, with everything currently 40% off. It’s a great opportunity to support a business that is dedicated to giving back.

WTVA’s Chris Nalls talks to owner of Pierce’s place, a local store whose proceeds all goes to the community.

SUMMARY: In Jackson’s Democratic mayoral primary, Senator John Horn nearly avoided a runoff despite low voter turnout. Horn will face incumbent Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba in a runoff on April 22nd, after securing over 7,000 more votes than Lumumba. Many voters, including some who typically lean Republican, supported Horn for his hard campaigning and ability to get things done. However, Horn’s vote share fell short of the 50% needed to avoid a runoff. The winner of the runoff will advance to the June 3rd general election. Voters are seeking a mayor who is transparent and effective in managing city resources.
