SUMMARY: Coast Business Leaders is directly involved in the race for governor, backing incumbent Tate Reeves. The Gulf Coast Business Council, designed to grow the coast’s economic interests, believes that tax policy is a key issue to focus on. Low unemployment numbers and more businesses locating in the state are helping boost the economy, which in turn helps with population growth. The latest polls show Reeves leading his opponent, Brandon Presley, by eight points. Reeves plans to continue campaigning aggressively until election day, as he believes the people who are going to decide the next governor are the ones who matter. The only scheduled debate between Reeves and Presley is tonight at 7:00, and people are invited to send in questions for the debate.

The candidates for Governor Tate Reeves and Brandon Presley are making regular campaign stops around the state.

SUMMARY: Phase 2 of the Bayou Lacroix Boat Launch improvement project has commenced in Bay St. Louis, following the successful completion of the initial boat ramp a few years ago. This phase includes extending the bulkhead and installing a new kayak launch, enhancing access for kayakers and anglers. The $150,000 project is funded by the Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Trust, prompted by the need for amenities after Hurricane Katrina. The boat launch, frequently utilized by residents, will facilitate easier access to the Bay of St. Louis and the Jordan River, expected to be completed within four weeks, just in time for summer.
