House makes history, removes McCarthy as Speaker
SUMMARY: Republicans, led by Rep. Matt Gaetz, have joined forces with Democrats to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House in a 216-210 vote. This marks the first time in history that the House has voted to remove a sitting Speaker, resulting in an uncertain future and the need for a new Speaker's race. Rep. Patrick McHenry has been declared acting Speaker, responsible for presiding over the new Speaker election. McCarthy's removal is largely attributed to his handling of fiscal issues and personal disputes, and he had attempted to make a deal to save his Speakership but was unsuccessful.

Mississippi Public Service Commission wants call centers in state
SUMMARY: Mississippi's Public Service Commission (PSC) plans to bring call centers for all public utility companies back to the state. This decision was made after complaints about long wait times and poor customer service from Entergy Mississippi's call center during severe storms in June 2023.

A community forum event will be held in Jackson on October 3 to discuss this issue further.
