It's a crisis that is not immune to Mississippi but one that is drastically increasing.
At one time, gun violence was an issue that was an urban problem, one that was nearly exclusive to major metropolitan areas in our nation. That has changed and changed in an astonishing way.
No longer are Mississippians feeling safe leaving their doors unlocked at home when they go to bed. No longer do they feel safe walking their neighborhoods at night or safely driving our streets without the threat of suddenly being carjacked.
An increasing number of gun violence reports have involved our youth. Through the first three months of this year, nearly 300 teens (ages 12-17) have died as a result of guns in the U.S., according to the Gun Violence Archive.

SUMMARY: Madison County, Mississippi is implementing cybersecurity training for employees after $2.7 million was stolen in a recent cyber scam. The county approved the purchase of 250 licenses of security awareness training by KnowBe4 for three years at a cost of nearly $10,000. Additionally, they will receive 250 licenses of an updated email phishing defense for three years, costing over $7,000. The theft occurred after a scammer posed as a representative for a current vendor. Law enforcement officials were notified, leading to a national and international investigation. As of now, around $129,000 has been physically recovered by the county.

SUMMARY: Roughly 200,000 working Mississippians, including Ken Allen, could have access to healthcare if Medicaid is fully expanded in the state. Allen, who works as a custodian, cannot afford insurance and has been denied Medicaid multiple times. He and his family struggle with health issues and have limited options without insurance. Mississippi faith leaders are also advocating for Medicaid expansion. Lawmakers are currently discussing the possibility of expansion, with the hope of including those making up to 138% of the federal poverty level. Allen emphasizes the importance of providing healthcare to those in need, urging lawmakers to reach an agreement on Medicaid expansion soon.
