State Senator Tyler McCaughn said of the “The People’s Access Act” that “it’s only right to open the doors to public meetings.”
The Senate Government Structure committee moved a bill forward late last week to improve transparency in Mississippi state and local governments. However, the legislation is expected to meet stiff opposition in the House.

By the skin of our teeth, Jackson's Northside was spared with little ice storm repercussions.
The rain moved out just as temperatures dropped at 1p.m. There was just a small accumulation of ice on tree limbs.
Even so, there were scattered power outages throughout the area caused by ice-laden limbs dropping on above-ground power lines. Neighborhoods with buried utility lines fared much better.
Impassable streets and widespread power outages could have spelled disaster with residents stuck in their heatless homes with no way out and 20 degree temperatures.
