James Sikking, star of ‘Hill Street Blues’ and ‘Doogie Howser, MD,’ dies at 90
SUMMARY: “Hill Street Blues” debuted during a Hollywood dual strike, initially struggling with low ratings. NBC retained the show due to its strong “demographic.” A notable 1983 episode featured a suicide cliffhanger, drawing comparisons to “Dallas.” James Sikking, who received an Emmy nomination in 1984, praised the show's unique format and dedicated team. He also appeared as Captain Styles in “Star Trek III” and starred in “Dougie Howser, M.D.” with Steven Bochco. Near retirement, Sikking had guest roles in “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “The Closer,” and participated in charity events. Reflecting on acting, he valued the period of obscurity and considered it a “license to self-investigation.”

SUMMARY: Mississippi faces high grocery costs, ranking third in the U.S. with average weekly spending of $290, exceeding the national average by $20. The state's citizens earn the lowest average salaries while contending with a 7% grocery tax, one of the highest in the nation. Many, like Carmen Lebron, struggle to afford basic necessities, leading to increased reliance on food banks, which are overwhelmed by demand. To alleviate this burden, Representative Jeffrey Hulum III advocates for a 3.5% grocery tax cut, aiming to improve conditions for working families and align Mississippi closer to national grocery spending averages.
