SUMMARY: The Insurance Commissioner of Mississippi addresses concerns about rising insurance rates due to market challenges, like inflation and supply chain issues. A proposed solution is the Hurricane and Wind Mitigation Program, aimed at reducing costs for policyholders by encouraging home fortification. The program includes incentives such as discounts on insurance premiums for homes meeting mitigation standards. Research indicates significant savings from investing in mitigation, with construction improvements potentially leading to up to 60% reduced losses from natural disasters. The program could be funded by an existing property and casualty insurance assessment and grants, without extra bureaucracy. This initiative follows successful examples in nearby states and responds to the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters affecting Mississippi.

SUMMARY: No. 9 Ole Miss’s national championship hopes were dashed after a 24-17 loss to Florida, a must-win game for the Rebels. Despite outgaining the Gators, Ole Miss failed to score in the red zone, resulting in two turnovers on downs and a missed field goal. Jaxson Dart had a strong start with two touchdown passes but threw two late interceptions. Ole Miss struggled on the ground without its leading rusher, while Florida capitalized with a balanced attack. The Rebels, now 8-3, must regroup for the Egg Bowl against Mississippi State. This loss likely drops them from playoff contention.
