Former Jackson County deputy sentenced for embezzling $37K
SUMMARY: Johnny Ray Jefferson, a 52-year-old former Jackson County deputy, was sentenced for embezzling over $37,000 from the police department's seizure account. After a December 2022 Border Patrol interdiction, Jefferson admitted to stealing $13,400 and was found to have taken an additional $23,900 on separate occasions. He repaid the embezzled funds and was sentenced to 20 years, with 15 suspended and five under intensive supervision, followed by post-release supervision. Jefferson apologized for his crimes, and District Attorney W. Crosby Parker emphasized the need for accountability for breaches of public trust.

SUMMARY: Mississippi GOP Chairman Frank Bordeaux is stepping down after a successful four-year term in which the party gained significant ground in local, state, and federal offices. He has endorsed former U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst as his successor to maintain the momentum and continue the party's success. Hurst, who has the support of Governor Tate Reeves, plans to further the state's conservative principles and grow the party. Bordeaux believes Hurst is well-equipped to take over and help the party reach new heights. Former chairman Lucien Smith expects Hurst to maintain the GOP's strong position in Mississippi.

Investigation finds MDEQ did not racially discriminate against Jackson in funding water systems
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) has been cleared of allegations of racial discrimination in its funding of water system improvements for Jackson by the EPA. The probe began after the NAACP filed a complaint. MDEQ claimed to have approved loans for Jackson at higher rates than other cities, allocating over $86 million since a 2012 consent decree with the EPA. MDEQ officials and a former employee highlighted significant loan proportions for Jackson's wastewater projects. The EPA did find procedural deficiencies in MDEQ's processes, but MDEQ argues it complies with federal laws. The NAACP still alleges discrimination against Jackson.
