Lawmakers to discuss tax reduction as Mississippians pay third-most in U.S. for groceries
SUMMARY: Mississippi faces the highest grocery tax rate in the U.S. at 7%, making it the third state with the highest weekly grocery expenditure at $290.64, just below California and Nevada. Numerous attempts to reduce or eliminate the tax have failed in legislation. However, Republican Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann is advocating for a future proposition to alleviate this financial strain on residents. Despite setbacks, there is bipartisan support for decreasing the tax, with Republican Rep. Becky Currie expressing confidence in such legislation passing if brought to the floor. A tax rebate fund bill also failed in 2023.

SUMMARY: The 2024 hurricane season has seen Hurricanes Helene and Milton batter the southeastern U.S., with Mississippi potentially facing its first direct hurricane impact soon. The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a tropical depression, expected to become Tropical Storm Rafael. Currently with 35 mph winds, this system is projected to strengthen into a hurricane as it heads towards western Cuba on Tuesday. Heavy rain, flooding, and mudslides are anticipated in the Caribbean, prompting hurricane watches for the Cayman Islands and tropical storm warnings for Jamaica. Rafael would be the 17th named storm of the season.
