Former Mississippi Lottery official arrested for stealing over $187K
SUMMARY: Former Mississippi Lottery vice president of human resources, Hope Bishop, has been arrested and charged with embezzlement for allegedly stealing over $187,000 in unauthorized raises. If convicted, she could face up to 20 years in prison. Additionally, a former clerk at the Rankin County Tax Collector’s Office, Brittney Phillips, is facing similar charges for allegedly stealing over $36,500. State Auditor Shad White commended the Lottery Corporation and Tax Collector Caroline Gilbert for their help in identifying the suspects and urged Mississippians to report any suspicions of taxpayer fund theft. The stolen money did not affect the integrity of lottery games.

SUMMARY: NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Hancock County has opened an interactive exhibit where visitors can experience the role of a space engineer. Participants simulate a hot fire test of an RS-25 engine at a console resembling the Test Control Center, using advanced software and displays to manage propellants. Guided by step-by-step instructions, they learn to operate equipment just like NASA engineers. The exhibit offers educational insights into the RS-25 engine integral to NASA’s Artemis missions and showcases real hot fire tests. Initially developed during a 2023 intern project, the exhibit aims to educate and inspire future space enthusiasts.

SUMMARY: On Christmas Eve, a tragic car accident in Mississippi claimed the lives of Luke Davis, a 17-year-old high school kicker, and Zebulon Lott, a 33-year-old nurse. Davis, a senior at Columbia High School, was on his way to Hattiesburg after visiting his girlfriend, when his vehicle collided with Lott’s. Davis was poised to play Division I football at a university like Ole Miss, Mississippi State, or LSU. Grieving family and friends remember him as a dedicated athlete. Lott, after a long shift in the ICU, left behind a wife and three children, prompting a GoFundMe campaign for his family.

SUMMARY: Following the House Ethics Committee’s report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz, detailing alleged payments for sex and drugs, Chairman Rep. Michael Guest (R-Miss.) stated he opposed releasing the findings. He argued that the committee lost jurisdiction after Gaetz’s resignation, and releasing the report deviated from established protocols. Guest highlighted a previous instance involving Rep. Mark Foley but emphasized the significance of not investigating former members. Democrats defended the release due to Gaetz’s cabinet candidacy, while Republicans viewed it as a misuse of authority. Gaetz, maintaining his innocence, criticized the report, claiming the evidence was manipulated against him.
