Calgon Carbon completes expansion, adding 38 new jobs to Pearlington plant
SUMMARY: Calgon Carbon Corporation has completed a capacity expansion at its Pearlington site, creating 38 new jobs. The expansion includes the addition of a second activated carbon production line, increasing production capacity so the company can now produce over 200 million pounds of virgin activated carbon per year. The primary purpose of the expansion is to offer more activated carbon to customers globally, particularly to combat the presence of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water and wastewater. The expansion strengthens Calgon Carbon’s commitment to environmental remediation and brings economic benefits to Pearlington through new job positions.

SUMMARY: Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch, along with 38 other attorneys general, is urging Congress to ban pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) from owning pharmacies. Growing concerns among small pharmacy owners and consumers highlight PBMs’ influence on drug pricing, which can harm independent pharmacies and access to healthcare, particularly in rural areas. Fitch argues that PBMs leverage their power to manipulate drug prices and impose unfair terms on pharmacies. A recent push for legislation to regulate PBMs and prevent practices like spread pricing has stalled. The attorneys general’s letter to Congress seeks to protect consumers and small businesses from PBM exploitation.
