The Bulldogs built an early lead with a 14-0 run and maintained a double-digit margin throughout the second half. Despite a brief surge by Vanderbilt, Mississippi State dominated in rebounds, 45-33, and outscored their opposition significantly.

SUMMARY: Senate Bill 2487, aimed at supporting first responders, is on its way to Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves for approval. The bill proposes increasing the death benefits for first responders who die in the line of duty from $100,000 to $250,000, along with covering up to $15,000 in funeral expenses. Additionally, it introduces a grant program to improve training and safety equipment for first responders throughout the state. Public Safety Commissioner Sean Tindell has championed the bill to enhance the support for those who risk their lives, emphasizing the sacrifices made by first responders. This follows another recent legislative success requiring driver's education in Mississippi.

SUMMARY: Mississippi will receive $28.65 million in federal funding to replace lead pipes, ensuring safer drinking water. The initiative is part of a nationwide effort backed by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, with a total of $3 billion designated to the cause. President Joe Biden aims to remove all lead pipes to protect health, with a focus on children, who are particularly vulnerable to lead's harmful effects on brain development. The investment aligns with the Justice40 initiative, aimed at supporting disadvantaged communities. EPA Administrator Michael Regan emphasizes the urgency of removing harmful lead pipes from water systems across the country.

SUMMARY: Mississippi State University (MSU) is launching an electric-autonomous shuttle service with Beep, Inc. this fall, a first in Mississippi and the Southeastern Conference. Two 11-seater shuttles will provide rides on campus, linking key areas and promoting alternative transportation. An attendant will always be onboard for safety and assistance. Restricted to roads with a maximum of 25 mph, the pilot aims to enhance campus travel and contribute to rural-urban mobility research. Beep is preparing by mapping routes this spring, and the trial runs from September 1 to November 30. MSU plans to expand research partnerships through this pilot.
