Mississippi State Hires Jeff Lebby
SUMMARY: Oklahoma offensive coordinator Jeff Levy has signed a five-year deal to become the next head coach of Mississippi State football. Levy's success in leading Oklahoma's offense to be a top six team in scoring, passing, and total offense has earned him this new role. This will be Levy's first head coaching job in the SEC, and he expressed excitement about the opportunity to build relationships with players, engage in the community, and recruit for the program. Mississippi State had a 5-7 record in the 2023 season, and Levy is eager to work with the team and continue the tradition of the Bulldogs football program.

SUMMARY: The Department of Public Safety (DPS) is planning to move from its current building on Woodrow Wilson, which has severe foundation issues, asbestos problems, and gas leaks, to a new site in Pearl. The existing headquarters, built in 1976, needs to be demolished, and the land may be sold for redevelopment. The new DPS site will consolidate all divisions under one roof for the first time, with costs now between $65 and $70 million. The timeline for the new building's completion has shifted to late summer or early fall of 2025. The state is considering commercial development for the vacated site.

SUMMARY: If traveling across Mississippi this weekend, expect increased police presence and checkpoints. A popular attraction visited the National Park in Vicksburg: Douglas Baum and his family's camels, sharing the story of ‘Old Douglas,' the only camel to die in the Civil War. July 4th marked the siege of Vicksburg's end, where ‘Old Douglas' served the 43rd Mississippi Infantry by carrying their regimental band. The reenactment aims to engage young people in history. Portraying ‘Old Douglas' are 12-year-old Jadid and 15-month-old Saubr, appearing at the Vicksburg National Military Park on Saturday and Sunday at 9 a.m.

SUMMARY: Ford recently reported on the rejection of Verizon's proposal to erect a cell phone tower in the Beldon Pike subdivision. The city's decision, welcomed by local residents and Tom Bigby Electric due to concerns over its proximity to a major electrical transmitter, may not close the case. City Council President NY Davis suggested there might be more legal hurdles ahead. He praised the council for their thorough research and for listening to community concerns. It's uncertain if Verizon will seek alternative methods to push the proposal forward. Updates will be provided as the situation develops.
The installation of a Verizon cell town in Tupelo has been scrapped so far.
