Voter rights, access to be forefront of Mississippi Democratic convention
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Democratic Party will hold its annual convention on Saturday, focusing on electing a new executive committee and defining the party’s platform. Under the leadership of State Rep. Cheikh Taylor, the party aims to address issues such as Medicaid expansion, public school funding, teacher pay raises, a $15 minimum wage, and affordable housing. A key topic is the restoration of voting rights post-incarceration, highlighting the convoluted and restrictive current processes. The party also seeks to improve voter access by advocating for measures like early voting and online registration. The convention’s outcomes will be presented at the Democratic National Convention in August.

SUMMARY: College basketball in Mississippi returns, providing fans of Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Southern Miss a break from a challenging football season. Mississippi State, under coach Chris Jans, aims to improve on last season’s 21-14 record, featuring a strong returning core and several transfer additions. Ole Miss, in year two of Chris Beard’s tenure, also looks to bounce back from a 20-12 season with a mix of veteran players and new transfers. Southern Miss seeks redemption after a disappointing season, relying on veteran guards and transfers to enhance their lineup. Both teams kick off their seasons Monday night.

SUMMARY: As Election Day approaches, voters are preparing and deciding on proposed tax referendums. In George County, residents can vote on a new sales tax to fund the “Pennies for Parks” program, aimed at enhancing youth sports facilities. This initiative includes a one-cent sales tax on restaurants and a three percent tax on hotels, with plans already in place for new soccer fields. Meanwhile, Ridgeland voters will consider a sales tax increase to expand Freedom Ridge Park, adding various recreational facilities. Both referendums highlight local investment in community sports and recreational development.
