Shad White says dispute with fellow elected officials has pushed him closer to gubernatorial run
SUMMARY: Republican State Auditor Shad White faces increasing backlash from Mississippi officials as he aggressively pursues accountability within state government since his 2018 appointment. His controversial actions have sparked disputes, including a verbal clash with Senator John Polk over a $2 million audit of state waste linked to the TANF scandal. Polk’s legislative efforts aimed to limit White’s powers, suggesting political motives behind the auditor’s methods. Amidst this turmoil, White hints at a gubernatorial run in 2027, asserting that voter frustration with political maneuvering may bolster his candidacy against rivals like Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann and Attorney General Lynn Fitch.

New charge levied against man accused of killing Jimmie ‘Jay’ Lee after discovery of remains
SUMMARY: Sheldon “Timothy” Herrington, Jr. faces an additional charge of tampering with evidence in connection with the murder of former Ole Miss student Jimmie “Jay” Lee, whose remains were recently discovered. Herrington, accused of killing Lee to conceal their romantic relationship, was arrested shortly after Lee’s disappearance in July 2022. During his previous trial, a mistrial occurred due to a split jury, with a lone juror citing the absence of Lee’s body as a factor. Now that remains have been found, the prosecution plans for a retrial. Herrington continues to maintain his innocence amid the new developments.
