SUMMARY: During a Long Beach Board of Aldermen meeting, a unanimous decision was made to restate a lease agreement for a casino development in an area without casinos along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. This follows earlier lease negotiations with Long Beach Harbor Resorts for land where an old Kmart was located. Mayor George Bass noted amendments are needed before the final ratification at the next meeting, with plans for a 40-year lease allowing extensions. The city anticipates $500,000 in annual gaming revenue during the initial years. Construction must begin within three years, with gaming operations launched within five years.

SUMMARY: The president of Mississippi University for Women (MUW), Nora Miller, is advocating to keep the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science (MSMS) in Columbus after state officials suggested relocating it to Starkville. The State Board of Education endorsed moving the school to Mississippi State University (MSU), citing future growth potential. However, Miller argues that MUW offers a more cost-effective and mission-aligned environment. A survey revealed that 96% of MSMS students prefer staying in Columbus. MUW is seeking state funding to update facilities, while MSU has proposed an $86 million project to relocate the school. Lawmakers have not yet made a decision.

SUMMARY: Lamar Phillips, convicted of the 1992 double murder of Bradley Dew, has been released from prison after serving over 30 years. Phillips and Cedric Morris killed Dew while he was driving home from his job. Phillips also killed another person shortly after.

His release has sparked outrage, with former prosecutors questioning the decision. This follows another controversial parole decision in 2023, which freed James Williams, a man who dismembered his parents. Mississippi lawmakers have yet to act on parole reform.
