SUMMARY: Lawmakers in Mississippi are working on a deal to expand Medicaid for the working poor, with drama unfolding at the State Capitol. After a promising initial meeting, a scheduled follow-up was canceled on Wednesday. When the House conferees showed up for the rescheduled meeting on Thursday, the Senate conferees did not attend. The meeting lasted only five minutes, disappointing the House conferees. They expressed frustration with the lack of progress and the importance of passing the historic legislation. Senate conferees were in a separate committee meeting during the scheduled Medicaid expansion conference, indicating that no compromise has been reached yet.

SUMMARY: Child Abuse Awareness Month is recognized in April to bring attention to the issue of child abuse in America. Noxubee County Child Protection Services organized a rally and resource fair in Macon to educate the community about the signs of abuse and neglect, as well as how to report it anonymously. The event aimed to make people aware of preventative measures to protect children and vulnerable adults. The Social Service Team Leader emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety and well-being of children, who may not always have a voice in abusive situations. Child Protection Services extends its services to handle cases involving vulnerable adults, the elderly, and the disabled.
