SUMMARY: The town of Soso will soon have a new leader after a special mayoral election tomorrow. A new leader is needed after the former mayor recently resigned. Michael Moore was mayor for about 20 years, and is now vying to become the next leader. If elected, Michael Moore wants to promote economic development, initiate cleanup efforts, and bring stability to the town. Another candidate, Leonard Quigley, has served on the board of aldermen and volunteers with the fire department. He wants to revitalize and grow the town, focusing on clean-up efforts from the 2020 tornado. The mayoral election will take place at the town’s community center, with polls open for voters.

Three candidates are vying to become the next leader of Soso after former mayor Ralph Cahill resigned last month.

SUMMARY: Canton residents are raising concerns over a significant increase in their water bills, some rising by $200 to $300 or more. Canton Municipal Utilities (CMU) issued a rate update in June, explaining that rates were too low for the past decade to cover rising costs like labor, energy, and materials, leading to guaranteed bill increases. Some residents, including a local business owner, say they weren’t properly notified and feel the hikes exceed the stated 25% increase, calling it price gouging. Many are struggling to afford the higher costs. A town hall is planned, and CMU will discuss assistance next Tuesday. Residents are encouraged to contact CMU with questions.

SUMMARY: Crime can still impact a city’s reputation. As the new school year begins across the metro area, 16 WAPT interviewed three superintendents: Dr. Mitchell Shears, Dr. Errick Greene, and Chris Chism, who lead the Hinds, Jackson, and Pearl school districts. They discussed plans to support teachers and students, especially regarding the use of electronics. While not banning devices outright, the districts emphasize purposeful use in a digital society and integrate new technologies, including artificial intelligence, into learning. The focus also includes preparing students for college and the workforce through internships and supporting teachers to enhance education and community investment.
