SUMMARY: Lawmakers are considering a proposal to merge Mississippi University for Women with Mississippi State University, following the passage of Senate Bill 2715. Initially, the bill aimed to move Mississippi School for Math and Science from W’s campus to MSU, but an amendment kept MSMS at W due to tradition. The proposed merger would go into effect on July 1st, with MUW being called The W at Mississippi State University. MSU would also have to decide whether to keep MSMS in Columbus or move it to Starkville. The bill is set for a full Senate vote by March 16th, with further consideration in the House. Opinions on the bill vary among social media users.

Senate Bill 2715 passed both the Education and Appropriations Committees on Tuesday.

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.
