Mississippi Supreme Court runoff too close to call, hinging on absentee and affidavit ballots

SUMMARY: The Mississippi Supreme Court runoff between incumbent Justice Jim Kitchens and challenger state Sen. Jenifer Branning remained unresolved late Tuesday night, with Branning leading by a narrow margin of 518 votes (0.44 percentage points) as most votes were reported. The outcome could take days due to outstanding absentee and affidavit ballots. Kitchens, who has served on the court for two terms, boasts significant legal experience, while Branning positions herself as a “constitutional conservative.” In another race, Amy St. Pe’ won a seat on the state’s second-highest court decisively against Jennifer Schloegel.

AG Fitch joins peers in urging Congress to bar PBMs from owning pharmacies

SUMMARY: Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch, along with 38 other attorneys general, is urging Congress to ban pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) from owning pharmacies. Growing concerns among small pharmacy owners and consumers highlight PBMs’ influence on drug pricing, which can harm independent pharmacies and access to healthcare, particularly in rural areas. Fitch argues that PBMs leverage their power to manipulate drug prices and impose unfair terms on pharmacies. A recent push for legislation to regulate PBMs and prevent practices like spread pricing has stalled. The attorneys general’s letter to Congress seeks to protect consumers and small businesses from PBM exploitation.

NCAA adopts new football rules addressing fake injuries, overtime timeouts

SUMMARY: This fall, college football in Mississippi will see key rule changes, primarily targeting fake injuries. Players faking injuries to delay games will now result in their team being charged a timeout if a medical evaluation occurs after the next play’s ball is spotted. If no timeouts remain, a 5-yard penalty will be imposed. Additionally, overtime rules change, allowing one timeout per team starting at the third overtime. The NCAA will simplify instant replay announcements and introduce stricter regulations on scrimmage formations. Other changes include penalties for distracting signals and the option for coach-to-player communication in the Football Championship Subdivision.
