Mississippi Highway Patrol will have an increased presence this holiday season
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Highway Patrol will have more state troopers on the roadways for the 2023 Christmas and New Year’s holiday travel periods. They aim to reduce crashes and are asking drivers to wear seat belts, avoid impaired driving, and obey speed limits. The Christmas travel period is from Saturday at 6:00 to Monday at midnight, and the New Year travel period is from December 30th to January 1st at midnight. The Mississippi Department of Transportation will suspend construction work from December 24th to January 1st to make travel smoother, with all road construction requiring lane closures stopping during this time.
SUMMARY: John Horn is projected to win the Jackson Democratic mayoral primary runoff, securing approximately 75% of the vote against incumbent Mayor Chak Lumbum’s 25%. Election analysts, Dr. Deandre Oie and Russ Latino, discuss the implications of Horn’s decisive victory, viewing it as a significant rejection of Lumumba’s administration amid ongoing challenges such as the water crisis and public safety concerns. Latino emphasizes Horn’s experience and ability to foster collaboration, whereas Oie notes Lumumba’s struggle to transition from an advocate to a politician. The discussion points to a desire for effective leadership and change in Jackson’s governance.

SUMMARY: Mississippi Move is offering free rides to polling precincts for Tuesday’s runoff elections through its Roll2ThePolls service. Despite challenges like low turnout and rainy weather, the service aims to help voters, especially those with mobility issues, get to the polls. Yolanda Beard, a regular user, finds the service essential due to her spinal pain, while others appreciate the convenience it offers, particularly for those who can’t afford cars. Voters are preparing to make their voices heard in the elections, which run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. tomorrow.
