AG calling on Mississippi Supreme Court to set execution dates for 2 death row inmates
SUMMARY: The Mississippi attorney general's office is urging the state's supreme court to set execution dates for two inmates on death row. Willie Jerome Manning was convicted for the murders of two Mississippi State University students and was also involved in another double-murder case, but his charges were dropped due to hidden evidence. Robert Simon, Jr., was arrested for the murders of a family in Clarksdale. Both inmates have had appeals and attempts to avoid their death sentences. The attorney general is requesting the high court to dismiss their motions and schedule their executions. They have been sitting on death row for a long time, and the state is pushing for their official death dates to be set.

SUMMARY: Mississippi is replacing the Mississippi Adequate Education Program (MAEP) with a new K-12 funding formula, which is set to increase funding by $218 million. The Mississippi Student Funding Formula will allocate more resources per student, especially benefiting those from low-income families, English learners, and those with special needs. Despite criticism over transportation costs not being accounted for, the bill passed with bipartisan support and is heading to Governor Tate Reeves' desk. Reeves, a supporter of the changes, is expected to sign the bill into law, moving towards a fairer recalculated funding mechanism every four years.
