Prescribed fires scheduled to take place at Vicksburg National Military Park this week
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.

Senate’s in-person early voting bill triggers intraparty Republican spat
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Senate passed the “In-Person Early Voting Act,” allowing a 15-day “no excuse” early voting period, reducing the current 45-day absentee requirement. While the Republican-authored bill received bipartisan support, Governor Tate Reeves opposes it, claiming it could increase voter fraud and labels the initiative a “Democrat priority.” Senator Jeremy England defends the legislation, noting it aligns Mississippi with 47 other states that allow early voting. 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.
