Samaritan’s Purse engages ‘entire ministry’ in Helene recovery
SUMMARY: Hurricane Helene has become the second deadliest U.S. hurricane since 2000, claiming over 165 lives across several states. In response, Samaritan’s Purse is actively aiding recovery efforts, leveraging its existing teams and resources from prior hurricanes. The impacts of Helene have been severe, with significant flooding affecting more than 40,000 homes. Despite the challenges posed by this disaster, the organization has mobilized to multiple locations while maintaining its headquarters’ operations. Samaritan’s Purse remains committed to a long-term response, and officials encourage donations to professional organizations for ongoing recovery efforts, as the Gulf of Mexico may see another storm in the coming weeks.

SUMMARY: The sentencing of former Jackson City Councilwoman Angelique Lee, convicted on federal bribery charges, has been postponed indefinitely. Originally set for November 13, the delay was ordered by Chief District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III, with no public reason provided. Lee resigned on August 14 after accepting over $19,000 in cash and gifts from undercover FBI informants to influence city projects. She has pleaded guilty and faces up to five years in prison and significant fines. A special election for her Ward 2 seat occurred recently, with Tina Clay and Marcus Cheatam likely heading for a runoff.
