MDOT crews fixing roads following winter storm
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Transportation is warning drivers to watch out for potholes on state routes and interstates as a result of the winter storm in January. The freezing temperatures, snow, ice, and sleet followed by heavy rain led to many potholes on the roadways. The largest threat to asphalt during winter months is sub-freezing temperatures, which can cause cracks to form and moisture to freeze, leading to potholes. MDOT crews are working to patch the potholes, and drivers are advised to watch out for work zones, slow down, and pay attention to workers.

Report: Almost all public universities in Mississippi to increase tuition
SUMMARY: A new report indicates that all but one university in Mississippi are increasing tuition due to rising costs. The increase is around 3%, with Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi each seeing costs reach approximately $10,000 annually. While inflation has been a reason for past hikes, this year, school leaders blame severe weather, which has increased property insurance costs. At a recent meeting, the Institutions for Higher Learning Board of Trustees discussed the financial impact of storms on campuses. Delta State University is making efforts to avoid tuition hikes to support economically vulnerable students, providing them access to higher education.
College tuition is increasing at almost all public universities in Mississippi.
