SUMMARY: Jackson police and firefighters have requested increased funding from the city.

SUMMARY: The Energy Information Administration predicts most U.S. households will spend the same or less on energy this winter compared to last year. However, colder temperatures are expected, particularly in northern states, potentially increasing gas and electricity costs. States like Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Illinois, and Kansas may see natural gas bills rise by $10 to $15 monthly. Meanwhile, households in states such as Alaska, Utah, and Oregon may save on gas costs. Homes using electricity for heating could see a slight increase of about 2%, with regional variations in natural gas prices anticipated across the country.

SUMMARY: Maggi Jo’Ani Boutique hosted the second annual Hamilton Holiday Market in Hamilton, Mississippi, featuring over a dozen vendors, food trucks, mini golf, and a Santa photo-op for children. Owner Emily Kennedy emphasized the importance of such events in unincorporated communities lacking formal leadership. Vendors like Rylee Wilson and Madison Nevins expressed their appreciation for community engagement. Kennedy noted the joy of local kids participating in festive activities, enhancing the town’s small-town Christmas atmosphere.
