Wicker championing legislation to create grant program for rural medical providers
SUMMARY: Sen. Roger Wicker and Sen. Bob Casey have introduced bipartisan federal legislation to support medical training in rural areas to address physician shortages. The proposed grant program under the Health Resources and Services Administration aims to increase community-based training for medical students, who are more likely to remain in rural communities if they train there. Community Health Centers could expand training to over 10,000 medical students. The initiative seeks sustainable healthcare solutions for underserved regions like Mississippi’s rural counties, aiming to improve long-term medical services in these communities.

Nonprofit files lawsuit challenging legislation allowing private leasing of public oyster reefs
SUMMARY: A lawsuit has been filed against legislation allowing the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (MDMR) to lease public oyster reefs to private entities. Mississippi Commercial Fisheries United argues that Senate Bill 2648, which permits up to 80% of the state’s natural reefs to be leased, is unconstitutional and threatens local fishermen’s livelihoods. The group claims the law undermines public access to the reefs, turning traditional oystermen into dependent workers for private leaseholders. They demand an immediate halt to leasing, transparent impact assessments, and more community involvement in decisions regarding public waters and resources. No comment has been made by MDMR.
