SUMMARY: The Meridian Fire Department responded to a scene at West Philadelphia Baptist Church for their fifth annual Christmas cruise-in toy drive. The theme of the event was “Bring a Toy, Bless a Child.” Attendees were able to fellowship with each other, interact with Santa, and donate a toy. The community also showed off their unique rides while spreading Christmas cheer. Last year, the event brought smiles to over 400 children by assisting 9 different local organizations. The event is aimed at allowing the community to come out and help bless children who may not receive toys at Christmas. It is a fun, family event that serves breakfast and aims to make it enjoyable for all attendees.

SUMMARY: New State Auditor Shad White gained recognition for investigations into misspent welfare money, including a legal battle with Brett Favre over nearly $730,000 in interest on improperly received funds. A judge will determine if White or the attorney general can sue for the money. White has been active in recovering funds during his tenure and has a book about the welfare investigation set for release in August. Despite the focus on welfare fraud, the auditor's office has been involved in numerous other cases. White has been in office for over five years and has recovered more money than in any other five-year period in the office's history.

SUMMARY: Months after gas explosions destroyed homes and cost a woman her life in South Jackson, investigation into the incidents revealed that natural gas lines in the city need repairs. Atmos Energy identified gas leaks in the area before the explosions, but considered them non-hazardous. The fallout from the explosions has led to concerns about gas pipeline safety in the city and statewide. Atmos Energy claims to prioritize safety and invest in enhancements, but concerns remain about the extent of the gas leak problem beyond Jackson. Public Service Commissioner Decatur Stamps emphasized the importance of safety measures such as calling 911 if gas is smelled and calling 811 before digging.
