Canton Residents want High Speed Internet
SUMMARY: Residents of rural Madison County have been waiting for three years for a promised internet service project. The $17 million project aims to bring high-speed internet to over 4000 homes and businesses in the rural northeast part of the county. However, residents have not seen much progress and are frustrated with the lack of internet options. Some internet companies are unable to provide service in their area, making it difficult for children to do schoolwork. The project was delayed due to the state figuring out how to get the money to the local government, but it is now moving forward with Comcast building a hub site. Overall, residents are frustrated with the lack of progress and the poor internet service in their area.

SUMMARY: In Okalona, Mississippi, a police crisis has emerged after two officers quit, leaving only five officers remaining in the city. The officers, including the police chief and assistant police chief, are feeling overworked, fatigued, and underpaid, despite putting their lives on the line every day. The city council denied a request for a pay raise, leading to the two officers leaving the force. The chief of police is advocating for better pay to retain officers and ensure the safety of the town. Residents are concerned about the police shortage and its impact on public safety.
The City of Okolona is facing a police crisis after two officers quit, leaving only five at the department.
SUMMARY: Bethany White has been sentenced to 110 years in prison for causing a wreck that killed a mother and her child in Hines County. Judge Winston King showed no leniency towards White, stating she showed no remorse for her actions. White has a history of DUI charges and her attorney plans to appeal the sentence. The victim's family feels a sense of closure with the sentencing, and the Hines County district attorney hopes this case serves as an example for those who choose to drink and drive. White will spend over 100 years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections.
