Mississippi Senate moves forward with Medicaid expansion plan despite pushback from Gov. Reeves
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Senate quickly passed a Medicaid expansion bill, labeled “Expansion Light,” with a 37-15 vote, differing from the House version by extending coverage to those at 100 percent of the federal poverty level, not 138 percent. The bill includes a work requirement of 30 hours per week with exceptions, potentially covering 80,000 citizens. Governor Tate Reeves opposes the Senate’s plan, viewing it as “welfare expansion” for able-bodied adults and vowing to fight against Obamacare expansions. Proponents argue it would support working poor and struggling hospitals. The proposal now moves to the House for consideration.

Jackson State football denies practice film spying allegations
SUMMARY: The Southwestern Athletic Conference is investigating claims that Jackson State gained access to private practice film of Arkansas-Pine Bluff prior to their November 2 game, which Jackson State won 41-3. Allegations arose from a UAPB player’s report about a Jackson State player discussing film access. The inquiry points to a former walk-on, whose account was traced to Jackson, as the potential source but he denied any wrongdoing. Jackson State officials acknowledged the investigation but stated no violations were found. This comes amidst distractions for the Tigers, including seven player suspensions from a recent altercation.
