Public service commission looking into Entergy Mississippi’s response to recent storms
SUMMARY: Entergy Mississippi is under review following a series of severe weather events last month that caused widespread power outages. Central District Public Service Commissioner Brent Bailey, who has criticized the power company’s response, announced the review. The outages, which lasted from June 10-23, left thousands without power, and many customers took to social media to express their frustrations with Entergy. The review will assess the company’s preparedness, communication, and power restoration protocols. Entergy Mississippi has six weeks to respond, and any findings from the commission will be available to the public.

SUMMARY: Mississippi police are warning about a holiday scam called “brushing,” which is becoming more prevalent as package deliveries rise in December. This scam involves recipients receiving unexpected packages accompanied by a QR code that claims to reveal the sender’s identity. Scanning this QR code can compromise personal information, leading to potential theft. Victims may receive items with little to no information about the sender, including claims related to Amazon. Officials advise against scanning any unfamiliar QR codes and recommend reporting such packages. Awareness is key to protecting personal data this holiday season, according to police.

SUMMARY: As the government shutdown deadline approached, the Senate passed a bipartisan bill early Saturday to temporarily fund federal operations and disaster aid, excluding President-elect Donald Trump’s debt ceiling demands. The House overwhelmingly approved the bill, which funds the government through March 14 and includes disaster assistance. Trump had insisted on a debt ceiling increase, threatening a shutdown, but GOP leadership opted for a compromise with Democrats. The outcome raises questions about House Speaker Mike Johnson’s future amidst GOP dissent. President Joe Biden is expected to sign the bill, averting a shutdown that could affect millions, especially during the holiday season.
