Mississippi leaders react to affirmative action decision
SUMMARY: The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down affirmative action in college admissions, ending more than 40 years of race-conscious admissions processes. The ruling stated that the admissions processes at the University of North Carolina and Harvard “unavoidably employ race in a negative manner.” While some legal experts believe the ruling will have little impact on Mississippi's colleges, the state's Institutions of Higher Learning will review their admission policies to ensure compliance with federal law. Governor Tate Reeves celebrated the ruling, saying that it will make academic institutions stronger and fairer. Some states may consider implementing a Texas-style law that benefits applicants of color with excellent academic records.

SUMMARY: Families are turning to local farms like Native Son Farm to source produce, combating rising grocery prices. Native Son Farm provides local, certified naturally grown, chemical-free produce through community-supported agriculture programs. Eating organic, locally grown produce is budget-friendly compared to commercial stores. Cooking healthy meals doesn't have to sacrifice taste, as shown by certified nutrition coach Julie Gibens. She encourages people to check ingredients in foods they buy and offers classes on making healthy choices. Large quantities of food are cooked in bulk and frozen in small portions for convenience.

SUMMARY: Construction on Highway 82 in Columbus, Mississippi has raised questions about why the work is not being done at night. The main reason for daytime work is safety concerns for both workers and drivers, as well as the higher cost of nighttime construction. Drivers are advised to merge early and exercise patience, as traffic congestion and lane closures can cause delays. Matt Dunn, MDOT Engineer, reassures drivers that the project will result in a smoother ride once completed. The project is expected to finish by the end of summer. Drivers can stay updated on road closures and alerts through the MDOT app and social media.
