Catching up with the candidates: Tiffany Longino, Lt. Governor
SUMMARY: Tiffany Longino, a Republican candidate for lieutenant governor in Mississippi, appeared on a radio show to discuss her platform and reasons for running. Longino, who has a background in education, believes her experience qualifies her for the role. She aims to change the status quo of politics and give more power to the citizens. Longino supports strengthening the police force in the capital city of Jackson but opposes a controversial bill that creates an inferior court system. She is in favor of cutting the state's grocery and income tax but wants a plan to recover the lost income. Longino also supports Medicaid expansion to help struggling hospitals in Mississippi.

SUMMARY: Doug Barron, a golf journeyman, claimed his first PGA Tour Champions major by winning the Regions Tradition in Birmingham, Alabama, after a subdued career following his 1992 graduation from Mississippi State. He finished at 17-under 271, outpacing Steven Alker and legends like Ernie Els and Padraig Harrington. Barron, who also runs a golf academy, faced a low point in 2009 when the PGA suspended him for doping—a ban lifted in 2010 after a legal dispute. Since joining the senior circuit in 2019, Barron, 54, has surpassed his career PGA Tour earnings, totaling over $4.2 million.

New partnership at Southern Miss brings teacher apprenticeship opportunities to students
SUMMARY: The University of Southern Mississippi's Registered Teacher Apprenticeship (RTA) program is the first in Mississippi to earn recognition by the state's Department of Labor. The RTA program allows students to train with professionals, gaining hands-on experience in teaching. With a recently expanded list of apprenticeship programs, now including teaching, the initiative aims to address teacher recruitment and retention challenges. The program provides a pathway to earn a degree, teaching license, and potentially a stable career. Brenda Myers from the U.S. DOL Office of Apprenticeship praised USM's leadership in this endeavor and looks forward to expanding apprenticeships in other fields.
