The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal featured Mississippi education recently.
In a surprising story entitled “These Three Red States Are the Best Hope in Schooling,” the Times writer told skeptics “I told you so.”
After writing about Mississippi’s educational successes in 2023, “many of my fellow liberals then scoffed at the notion of learning from a state so tainted,” wrote Pulitzer Prize winner Nicolas Kristof. “The critiques have been effectively rebutted by Mississippi’s “continuing gains” and the “magnitude of the gains.”

No, this column is not a sales pitch.
And a disclaimer: since 1992, I have made the vast majority of my living selling print advertising.
But, is print advertising still relevant? In this razzle dazzle day and age of "targeted marketing" through social media, AI and countless digital and cable offerings that promise immediate results and statistics, why would a business or individual still spend money on an old-fashioned print ad?

Why is the water bill for small customers in Jackson four to 12 times more than the average bill for small customers in Flowood, Ridgeland, and Madison?
It’s primarily because JXN Water is run by an interim manager appointed and supervised by a federal judge. The interim manager runs JXN Water as an officer of the court — not as a local official accountable to voters. The judge seems to be accountable to no one. JXN Water “governance” looks more like a commissariat than a municipal utility board. So I call the interim manager the Water Czar.
