The Mississippi House recently went all-in to legalize online sports betting in the state.
House Bill 4074 passed 101-10, a surprisingly large margin, especially when you recall that the much-hyped school choice legislation got through the House by only two votes before dying in a Senate committee.

The Magnolia State will be the first state to ban neutrality agreements in the workplace and just the fourth to enact the right to a private ballot in unionization efforts.
With the signature of Governor Tate Reeves (R), Mississippi will become the first state in the U.S. to ban so-called neutrality agreements in the workplace.

Two-way turn lanes on Hwy. 51
The city of Ridgeland is pursuing funding so it can remove the center turn lane on part of U.S. 51 and replace it with median islands and dedicated left turn lanes.
“The current center turn lane was designed decades ago for a much lower traffic volume than Highway 51 carries today,” said Ridgeland Mayor Gene McGee. “As traffic has increased, that continuous two-way left turn lane has become one of the primary contributors to crashes along the corridor.”

If you haven’t yet planned a getaway, consider camping at one of the luxury RV resorts in the state. Two resorts in our state have recently received 2026 Campspot Awards for amenities, guest experiences, facilities, and more. Some may even call it “glamping,” because these places are nice.

The Rankin-Hinds Pearl River Flood and Drainage Control District plans to pursue three funding mechanisms on top of those from the federal government to pay for what’s officially known as the Pearl River Flood Risk Management Project.
The district, which announced on Feb. 26 that a flood control plan had been chosen, could raise funds by assessing members of the district, authorizing revenue bonds and seeking funding from the state of Mississippi, said Keith Turner, attorney for the district.
“Those are all the strategies we’re working on now,” he said.
