Ole Miss, Mississippi State have busy weekend in the transfer portal
SUMMARY: Over the weekend, Ole Miss and Mississippi State added significant players through the transfer portal. Ole Miss acquired linebacker Chris “Pooh” Paul Jr. from Arkansas and defensive back Tahveon “Taz” Nicholson from Illinois, both expected to boost the Rebels’ defense. Paul’s 74 tackles and two sacks for Arkansas and Nicholson’s 36 tackles and two forced fumbles for Illinois speak to their immediate play readiness. Meanwhile, Mississippi State’s new coach Jeff Lebby landed quarterback Blake Shapen from Baylor, who’s recovering from an MCL injury but boasts solid stats.

‘We’ve still got a lot of work to do’: Jackson murder total decreases for third straight year
SUMMARY: In 2024, homicide rates in Jackson, Mississippi, declined for the third consecutive year, with 111 reported murders, a 5.93% decrease from 2023. Jackson Police Chief Joseph Wade emphasizes the need for continued investment in public safety, particularly in youth programs to address crime’s root causes. Despite progress, Jackson still has the highest murder rate per capita among U.S. cities at 77.24 per 100,000 residents. Wade urges community efforts to reduce violence, as many homicides stem from personal conflicts. The city has approved funding for resources to bolster police operations and improve safety amid ongoing challenges.

Show-cause hearing delayed as Public Service Commission investigates Holly Springs Utility Department
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Public Service Commission planned a show-cause hearing for Holly Springs concerning its utility services, prompted by customer complaints and alleged regulatory violations. Although the January 7 hearing was scheduled, Holly Springs requested a delay until after the 2025 legislative session due to a conflict involving its attorney. The state Supreme Court denied the delay, but Holly Springs sought a temporary restraining order. The commission criticized the city for a lack of cooperation and compliance with audits, noting HSUD’s poor performance and financial struggles. A new hearing date is yet to be set, as the situation continues to develop.
