Gov. Reeves vows to sign postpartum Medicaid extension into law if passed by legislature
Governor Tate Reeves is vowing to sign postpartum Medicaid extension into law if passed by the Mississippi legislature.
In a Sunday afternoon Twitter post, Reeves argues that in order for Mississippi to be a better place to raise kids, lawmakers have to be willing to make “philosophically uncomfortable” decisions such as extending postpartum coverage from 60 days to 12 months.
“The legislature should pass a law continuing this 12 months of postpartum coverage…and if they do, I will sign it into law,” Reeves wrote.

State program works to get new count
SUMMARY: Mississippi is home to black bears, with the largest concentrations found along the Mississippi River in the Delta. The Black Bear Program of the Mississippi Department of Wildlife Fisheries and Parks is working on getting a new count of these bears. Anthony Ballard, the program leader, advises residents to remain calm if they encounter a bear and to slowly move away, as black bears are typically shy. Bear sightings are rare in the area, but precautions should be taken to avoid attracting them with food. It is important to remember that black bears are not confrontational and usually avoid human contact.
