Outdoors expert hopeful new wildlife commissioners will be both qualified and educated
SUMMARY: Republican Gov. Tate Reeves is tasked with appointing two new members to the Mississippi Commission on Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks following the Senate's decision not to reconfirm Leonard Bentz, Jr. due to an illegal hunting scandal, and the term conclusion of chairman Bill Cossar. Lake Pickle, a videographer with onX Hunt, emphasizes the public's heightened interest in the appointments, urging Reeves to prioritize qualifications over friendships. As chronic wasting disease (CWD) impacts the state's white-tailed deer, there's a call for scientifically educated commissioners. Despite failed legislation to expand the commission, optimism remains high for positive changes.

Once forefront of Mississippi’s hospital crisis, Greenwood Leflore ‘on track to break even’
SUMMARY: Greenwood Leflore Hospital (GLH), one of the largest in the Mississippi Delta, seems set to break even for fiscal year 2024, according to Greenwood Mayor Carolyn McAdams. This turnaround comes after the hospital nearly closed and faced severe financial issues. A plan that reimburses hospitals at Medicare's upper limit, delivering $10 million annually, has bolstered GLH's finances. Though some services were previously cut, they have now reopened critical units. Approval for critical access status by the federal government could further stabilize GLH. Despite this progress, the broader hospital crisis in Mississippi remains serious, with many rural hospitals still at risk.
