SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS) will conduct prescribed fires at the Vicksburg Military National Park on Wednesday and Thursday to manage vegetation, weather permitting. Fires will cover 231 acres in areas like the South Loop, Illinois Memorial, and Fort Hill. These controlled burns aim to maintain battlefield conditions, preserve open space, support wildlife habitats, and reduce fire hazards. NPS crews will ensure safety, using fire breaks and monitoring air quality. While no major road closures are expected, temporary closures may occur if smoke affects visibility. Updates will be posted on the park’s social media, and alternative routes are advised for visitors.

Despite Reeves’ criticisms, England argues that convenience in voting is essential. The bill, having passed with a 39-12 vote, awaits consideration in the House, where England hopes for a veto-proof majority.
