Biloxi Shuckers ballpark officially renamed Keesler Federal Park
SUMMARY: The Biloxi Shuckers' home stadium has been officially renamed Keesler Federal Park after Keesler Federal Credit Union secured the naming rights with a $150,000 per year offer for five years, which was $25,000 more than Biloxi's target. Keesler's bid was notably higher than Shuckers Baseball, LLC's $90,000 yearly proposal for a decade. As Mississippi Braves plan to relocate post-season, the Shuckers will become Mississippi's only minor league team. Keesler will benefit from prominent signage at the stadium entrances and atop the scoreboard early in the 2024 MiLB season. (Photo courtesy of the MiLB).

PERS bill set to phase in employer rate increase heads to governor’s desk
SUMMARY: Mississippi's public employees' retirement system (PERS) will see financial changes as Senate Bill 3231 heads to Gov. Tate Reeves' desk. The bill prevents a 2% employer rate increase in July 2024, substituting it with a 0.5% hike each year until 2028. Future rate changes by the PERS Board will require two independent actuarial assessments and legislative approval. House Speaker Jason White affirmed that the measure, intended to address a potential $25 billion funding issue, won't affect current employees or retirees but aims to ensure financial obligations can be met without burdening taxpayers. Further PERS reforms may be considered in 2025.
