JTRAN offering free rides until end of September after strike comes to conclusion
SUMMARY: JTRAN is offering free rides in Jackson, Mississippi, for the remainder of September due to a recent agreement following a workers’ strike.

‘There’s a brighter day for healthcare in Starkville’: OCH Regional Medical Center now up for sale
SUMMARY: Local officials in Oktibbeha County, Mississippi, are seeking a buyer for the OCH Regional Medical Center due to a healthcare crisis. Seven years after opting to keep the hospital under local control, leaders are shifting towards privatization after evaluations forecast a grim future for the facility. State Sen. Bart Williams confirmed that they have hired Raymond James to solicit proposals from potential buyers. Both Williams and Starkville Mayor Lynn Spruill believe a private entity could enhance healthcare quality, asserting that government should focus on public safety and infrastructure rather than running hospitals. The bidding process for the sale will commence soon.

Forecasters eye another potential hurricane moving toward Gulf Coast
SUMMARY: Forecasters are tracking a new tropical system in the Caribbean, termed “Invest 97L” or “Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine,” which may develop into a hurricane. Following Hurricane Francine’s impact on Mississippi, the National Hurricane Center predicts that this system could strengthen into a tropical storm or hurricane as it moves northward across the northwestern Caribbean. The expected developments come as the system currently generates disorganized showers and storms. Residents, especially in the Florida Panhandle, are urged to stay updated on the storm’s progress, as its track and potential impacts are still uncertain.
