SUMMARY: Entergy Mississippi announced that the Mississippi Public Service Commission approved a plan to decrease energy rates, effective during the July billing cycle. This initiative aims to keep bills stable amid an anticipated summer heat wave that will increase energy usage.

SUMMARY: Former FBI agent and Alabama state trooper Christopher Bauer was found guilty of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl. Bauer had previously been expelled from the FBI over allegations of raping a co-worker at knifepoint but managed to secure a position with Alabama Law Enforcement through a forged letter. An AP investigation highlighted how Bauer concealed his past to shift jobs. He faced a weeklong trial where his attorneys claimed the girl fabricated accusations. Bauer was convicted of first-degree sodomy and sexual abuse of a child under 12. He faces a life sentence, with sentencing set for August 1.

SUMMARY: The Hinds County Board of Supervisors approved a controversial solar farm in Hinds County, Mississippi, with a 3-2 vote. Supervisors Robert Graham, Tony Smith, and Wanda Evers supported the project, while Deborah Butler-Dixon and Bobby McGowan opposed it. The 5,800-acre solar farm, owned by Apex Clean Energy, will surround Bolton and Raymond and power 95,000 homes, making it the largest in the state. Despite preserving 800 acres of wetlands, floodplains, and forests, residents fear the project's impact on wildlife and property values. Apex's director, Brian O'Shea, detailed that only 4,000 acres would be actively used for facilities.
