Entergy Mississippi replaces over 1,000 wooden poles with $28 million investment
SUMMARY: Entergy Mississippi has invested $28 million annually to replace over 1,000 wooden poles with stronger structures as part of their efforts to harden the grid in the state. The project aims to accelerate the replacement of wooden transmission structures with steel or concrete poles within 12-15 years. This modernization effort ensures a more efficient means of producing and transferring power across the grid, benefiting the approximately 461,000 customers in the company's service areas. The upgraded structures not only provide a more reliable system but also reduce the length of outages caused by transmission wood pole failures.

D1Baseball: Mississippi State in position to host regional
SUMMARY: The No. 16 Mississippi State baseball team has experienced a dramatic season, with coach Chris Lemonis' job once in question, but he's now in discussions for coach of the year. The Bulldogs are likely to host a regional if they maintain their performance, according to D1Baseball's Kendall Rogers. Mississippi State has won seven of their last eight games and could raise their conference win tally to 18. The non-SEC Governor's Cup could also influence the committee's decision. Meanwhile, Ole Miss might only make the SEC Tournament, and Southern Miss, though currently positioned for a regional, needs to demonstrate consistency for committee assurance.

House lawmakers suspend rules to revive transgender bathroom bill
SUMMARY: The Mississippi House passed a bill to restrict transgender individuals from using bathrooms aligning with their gender identity in public buildings. Rep. Fred Shanks announced the revival of the SAFER Act on Twitter, acknowledging renewed legislative efforts. The act previously passed both chambers but was not finalized. If passed, a transgender woman at a public university, for example, would have to use men's facilities. Rep. Zakiya Summers criticized the move, paralleling it to historical discriminatory laws. This bill follows other Republican-led transgender restrictions in sports participation and gender-affirming care for minors.
