SUMMARY: Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann is calling for more oversight of state spending in Mississippi, specifically when it comes to funding for transportation projects. He wants to ensure that all the money allocated for roads and bridges is being used properly and in a timely manner. Brad White, executive director of the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT), stated that no projects are currently behind schedule and that accountability is essential. White also explained that the agency follows strict federal regulations for road construction, which can sometimes slow down the process. MDOT is currently working on several projects throughout the state.

SUMMARY: Rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart made his preseason debut for the New York Giants in a 34-25 win over the Buffalo Bills, showing promise with 154 passing yards, a touchdown, and mobility. Dart led three scoring drives but noted room for improvement, especially on third-down conversions. Veteran Russell Wilson also played efficiently. Coach Brian Daboll praised Dart’s poise and confidence. The Giants, rebuilding after a poor season, hope Dart will be their future quarterback alongside Wilson. The Bills rested MVP Josh Allen, with backups Mitch Trubisky and Mike White contributing. Both teams prepare for upcoming joint practices and games.
