New leadership coming to Mississippi Republican Party
SUMMARY: Mississippi GOP Chairman Frank Bordeaux is stepping down after a successful four-year term in which the party gained significant ground in local, state, and federal offices. He has endorsed former U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst as his successor to maintain the momentum and continue the party's success.

Investigation finds MDEQ did not racially discriminate against Jackson in funding water systems
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) has been cleared of allegations of racial discrimination in its funding of water system improvements for Jackson by the EPA. The probe began after the NAACP filed a complaint. MDEQ claimed to have approved loans for Jackson at higher rates than other cities, allocating over $86 million since a 2012 consent decree with the EPA. MDEQ officials and a former employee highlighted significant loan proportions for Jackson's wastewater projects. The EPA did find procedural deficiencies in MDEQ's processes, but MDEQ argues it complies with federal laws. The NAACP still alleges discrimination against Jackson.
