National Guard orders safety stand down following deadly Mississippi helicopter crash
SUMMARY: Following the deaths of two soldiers in a Mississippi helicopter crash, the Army National Guard has implemented an aviation safety stand down to review policies and procedures. Soldiers Bryan Andrew Zemek, 36, and Derek Joshua Abbott, 42, tragically lost their lives in an AH-64 Apache during a training flight in Prentiss County. Lt. Gen. Jon A. Jensen emphasized that despite routine worldwide missions, safety remains a priority. The stand down will ensure crews are prepared for their duties. This incident occurred after a similar crash in Utah, which injured two pilots. Nearly 45,000 Guard members are currently deployed, and the stand down has no specified end date.

Gov. Tate Reeves pushes income-tax cut, says critics rely on ‘myths’
SUMMARY: Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves has called on legislators to dismiss “myths” from opponents seeking to halt the state‘s income tax phase-out. Speaking at a conference, he emphasized that eliminating the tax is crucial for the state’s economic growth, akin to neighboring states like Florida and Texas. Currently, Mississippi is reducing its top income tax rate to 4% by 2025. While some lawmakers support further cuts, caution is advised to avoid fiscal pitfalls, referencing Kansas’ failed tax cuts in 2012. GOP leaders, however, argue that significant reforms could improve the state’s financial landscape and benefit taxpayers.
