Senate Medicaid Committee passes expansion plan as Gov. Reeves pushes back
SUMMARY: Mississippi’s Senate Medicaid Committee passed a Medicaid expansion bill, aiming to cover adults up to 100% of the federal poverty level with work requirements, potentially benefiting 80,000-100,000 people. Governor Tate Reeves opposes the bill, denouncing it as an “Obamacare” expansion and expressing concerns over its work requirement exceptions. He argued the bill would increase welfare dependency while offering exceptions that could be abused. Supporters of the bill see it as a solution to the state’s healthcare crisis, aiding struggling hospitals and the working poor. Reeves has proposed an alternative Medicaid reimbursement program without expanding coverage. The Senate has a deadline of April 10 to vote on the expansion legislation.

SUMMARY: Southern Miss secured its first road win of the season, defeating Louisiana 67-59. The Golden Eagles held a narrow one-point lead with a minute left, but Christian Watson’s layup and key free throws from Neftali Alvarez, Denijay Harris, and Alfred Worrell sealed the victory. Southern Miss overcame an early Louisiana surge and led 35-31 at halftime. Despite a Louisiana comeback, the Golden Eagles took control in the final minutes. Coach Jay Ladner praised the team’s maturity after a previous overtime loss. The win, Southern Miss’ first in Lafayette since 2009, was highlighted by contributions from DeAntoni Gordon and others.

SUMMARY: The Capital Complex Improvement District (CCID) now has its own court, following years of legal challenges. Located at 201 South Jefferson Street, the court is overseen by the state, not Jackson officials. It was established after the NAACP dropped its lawsuit against House Bill 1020, which expanded Capitol Police’s jurisdiction. Critics argued it undermined Jackson’s local authority, while proponents believe the court will help reduce crime. Mississippi Supreme Court Chief Justice Michael Randolph appointed three local judges. The court will handle misdemeanor offenses, traffic citations, and initial felony appearances, with all fines directed to Jackson.
