SUMMARY: Federal officials in Mississippi are recruiting volunteers for the IRS’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs. These initiatives assist low-to-moderate-income taxpayers, including underserved populations like seniors and those with disabilities, by providing free tax preparation services. No prior experience is needed, as the IRS offers free training. Volunteers can take on various roles, including tax preparation, interpreting, and greeters, and can work at flexible times in-person or virtually. Interested individuals can find more information and local service sites through the VITA Locator Tool.

SUMMARY: Mississippi casinos experienced a revenue decline in the third quarter of 2024, contrasting with the overall growth of the U.S. gaming industry, which reported an 8.1% increase. Mississippi’s gaming revenue fell by 3.5% to $605.8 million, following a 2.3% decrease in the second quarter. This marks two consecutive quarters of downturns after a strong start to the year. Despite legal sports betting in the state, revenue could improve with the legalization of mobile sports betting, which was proposed but failed to pass this year. Lawmakers aim to revisit this issue in the 2025 session.

SUMMARY: During a Long Beach Board of Aldermen meeting, a unanimous decision was made to restate a lease agreement for a casino development in an area without casinos along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. This follows earlier lease negotiations with Long Beach Harbor Resorts for land where an old Kmart was located. Mayor George Bass noted amendments are needed before the final ratification at the next meeting, with plans for a 40-year lease allowing extensions. The city anticipates $500,000 in annual gaming revenue during the initial years. Construction must begin within three years, with gaming operations launched within five years.
