SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has issued a breach watch for Arkabutla Dam after increased rainfall and melting ice raised reservoir water levels. Residents in seven counties in Mississippi are alerted, and while the dam’s condition hasn’t changed recently, concerns persist due to signs of distress noted last May. Repairs are ongoing and should be completed by summer; operational releases to lower lake levels aren’t expected to cause downstream flooding. Coordination with weather and emergency services ensures public awareness, and monitoring continues. Current reservoir levels are reported, and any inquiries should be directed to local emergency management agencies.

SUMMARY: The Capital Complex Improvement District (CCID) now has its own court, following years of legal challenges. Located at 201 South Jefferson Street, the court is overseen by the state, not Jackson officials. It was established after the NAACP dropped its lawsuit against House Bill 1020, which expanded Capitol Police’s jurisdiction. Critics argued it undermined Jackson’s local authority, while proponents believe the court will help reduce crime. Mississippi Supreme Court Chief Justice Michael Randolph appointed three local judges. The court will handle misdemeanor offenses, traffic citations, and initial felony appearances, with all fines directed to Jackson.
