SUMMARY: A legislative budget meeting has revealed that only a third of hospitals will receive money through Mississippi’s “hospital lifeline program.” The program, which aimed to aid in the state’s ongoing hospital crisis, was funded by American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds instead of the state’s general fund. This meant that most hospitals that had already received COVID-19 relief funds would not be eligible. During the meeting, it was confirmed that around 38 of the 75 hospitals that applied for the money would receive any of it due to COVID-19 stipulations. The blame was passed between lawmakers and health officials regarding the issue of where the funds came from. Possible options were presented, including activating the program for the eligible hospitals now or altering the current statute for all eligible hospitals to receive a portion of the money. The decision was left to the lawmakers.

SUMMARY: Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves deployed about 200 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., but chose not to send them to Jackson despite its high homicide rates. Jackson, known as “America’s murder capital,” experienced over 160 homicides in 2021. Reeves supports President Trump’s efforts against violent crime in D.C. but believes legislative measures in Jackson are effectively addressing the problem. In 2023, the GOP-led legislature expanded Capitol Police jurisdiction and established an inferior court to handle cases. Reeves highlighted increased police hiring and new judicial appointments, noting a decline in homicides in 2025 and confidence in the city’s new mayor. He remains open to deploying troops if needed.
