Symphonic blues packs Thalia Mara

1 day 7 hours ago

The pace of modern life is so packed and structured, sometimes it’s great to have an open afternoon with nothing planned. That’s how it was last Friday when, out of the blue, I got a text from my long-time friend Scott Coopwood from Cleveland. “Headed to Jackson for Morgan Freeman’s Blues symphonic deal tonight. Do you have any interest in joining us? I’ve got two extra VIP tickets.” A quick call to Ginny and we were in.

Mississippi Supreme Court redistricting dies as U.S. Supreme Court decision over racial gerrymandering nears

Daily Recap YZ

1 day 13 hours ago

A federal judge ruled last year that Mississippi’s Supreme Court districts violated the Voting Rights Act. Instead of redrawing the districts, lawmakers will wait and see what comes of an appeal and a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Mississippi lawmakers will not take up redistricting of the state’s Supreme Court districts, choosing instead to wait and see what comes of an appeal as well as how the U.S. Supreme Court rules on a case involving the Voting Rights Act.
