SUMMARY: After more than 83 years, major funding has been allocated for Mississippi’s Yazoo Backwater Area Water Management Project, aimed at flood protection. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has designated $32 million for mitigation and pre-construction planning after signing a record of decision earlier this year. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith praised the funding, highlighting sufficient resources from the Mississippi Rivers and Tributaries account. Additionally, $13 million is earmarked for maintenance and dam safety at Arkabutla Lake, following the discovery of a dam depression two years ago. These projects are part of $136.5 million appropriated for 30 Mississippi infrastructure initiatives in FY2025.

SUMMARY: Officials in Mississippi’s Pine Belt warn parents about “764,” an international child exploitation cult targeting youth, especially those with mental health issues. Founded by Bradley Chance Cadenhead, a Texas native serving 80 years for child pornography, the group promotes self-harm, animal abuse, sextortion, and suicidal coercion. Despite arrests of key members, the decentralized Satanist, neo-Nazi cult remains active online, infiltrating platforms like Minecraft and Roblox. Authorities urge parents to monitor their children’s online activities closely, emphasizing daily conversations and vigilance. Perry County investigator James Burch stresses parental involvement as crucial since law enforcement cannot protect every child alone.

SUMMARY: For six years, McComb has faced controversy over its finances due to failure to conduct required annual audits. The Mississippi state auditor’s office notified city officials it will take over McComb’s internal audit process, citing non-compliance with state code. The city missed audits for fiscal years 2021-2024, though audits were completed for 2019 and 2020 after Mayor Lockley took office in 2018. Two CPA firms tried to resolve the issue, but progress is hindered by unkept records, despite over $80,000 spent. The state will engage auditors to complete audits, and cooperation is expected amid McComb’s uncertain financial status.
