SUMMARY: Amazon is creating Mississippi’s first utility-scale wind farm in Tunica County. The facility will feature 41 wind turbines that will generate clean energy from the winds of the Mississippi Delta. The wind farm will be a dual-use operation, allowing agricultural land to be used for farming crops like rice, soybeans, corn, and wheat. The project is expected to bring in significant tax revenue and create jobs in the area. Once operational, the wind farm will generate over 1,850 gigawatt-hours of clean energy, which can power approximately 174,600 homes each year. Amazon is committed to powering its operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025 and is pursuing several renewable energy projects in the southeast region.

Carter’s proven ability to retain talent, along with fan and institutional backing, helped Ole Miss secure Beard’s commitment. Under Beard, the Rebels are expected to field one of their best rosters in history next season, building on a strong 44-24 record and advancing to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.

SUMMARY: The 2025 Mississippi legislative session ended without passing a $7 billion budget due to internal conflicts among Republican officials. The House sought a brief extension to address budget bills, but the Senate did not meet the deadline. House Speaker Jason White criticized longstanding practices, advocating for a transparent budget process, while Senate leaders expressed frustration over the House’s absence during crucial discussions. With no budget finalized, Governor Tate Reeves must call a special session to ensure funding by June 30, or face government shutdowns affecting over 100,000 employees. Special sessions incur substantial taxpayer costs, exceeding $100,000 per day.
