City of Jackson temporarily suspends JTRAN services due to workers’ strike
SUMMARY: JTRAN bus services in Jackson, Mississippi, are currently suspended due to a strike by union workers protesting against MV Transportation, the company managing JTRAN since January. Employees accuse MV of unfair treatment, including punitive actions for taking sick leave or requesting time off. The strike emerged after failed contract negotiations, with unions and management unable to agree on a safety-related provision. MV argues that certain safety violations warrant termination to protect passengers. Jackson city officials are urging both parties to resume negotiations, emphasizing the significant impact this strike has on the community’s transit needs. The timeline for resuming services remains uncertain.

Mississippi residents urged to prepare ahead of Francine’s expected landfall as hurricane
SUMMARY: Residents along the Mississippi Gulf Coast and parts of the Pine Belt are urged to prepare for Tropical Storm Francine, expected to make landfall in Louisiana as a Category 2 hurricane. The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) advises having a go-kit ready with essentials like food, water, and important documents, and to keep a battery-powered radio for updates. Over 100,000 sandbags have been distributed across south Mississippi to assist with storm preparation. Residents can collect sandbags at designated locations but must bring their own shovels. MEMA aims to help residents feel prepared ahead of the storm.

SUMMARY: Charlotte Pegues, vice chancellor for student affairs at the University of Mississippi, has been indicted on 10 counts of animal cruelty, following her husband Terry Pegues’ arrest for the same crime.

Following the indictment, she insists on her innocence and has taken a voluntary leave of absence from her university role. Her legal counsel states that she has dedicated her life to service and will defend against these charges to preserve her reputation.
