State Treasurer David McRae said his office sponsors the competition because studies consistently show that financial habits are formed at a young age.
About 100 high school students across Mississippi gathered at the Mississippi Public Broadcasting Studios in Jackson recently to test their knowledge of economics.
The event was part of a statewide effort for public and private schoolers to gain financial literacy as they head out into the world.

On a recent facility visit, State Senator Lydia Chassaniol recognized the need for updated equipment in MAGCOR’s training facility and connected the organization with Viking Range.
To some, it might be just a new stainless-steel stove, but to the half dozen women in MAGCOR’s ServSafe certification program, the four-burner stove says the community cares.
MAGCOr’s mission is to provide men and women a pathway to successful reentry from prison into society through employment training and opportunities while reducing recidivism.

My birth certificate states that I was born at 8:30 a.m. on May 11, 1951, in the old Baptist Hospital on North State Street in Jackson.
Nothing extraordinary about that.
However, my paternal grandfather, Robert Cleveland Smith, died at 2:30 p.m. later the same day, two floors above the nursery where I lay in a bassinet, contemplating my arrival.
Very unusual start.

Day 1
It has been a long time since I have documented any trips but a trip to the Okefenokee Swamp was something I wanted to share. It began on Wednesday March 11th – in fact, the day before my friend of over 40 years, Joel Mulkin, called and suggested we ride together. Something told me this was a good plan. At 3:30 a.m. on the 11th I began the drive to Birmingham. We needed to be at the Stephen C. Foster State Park by five Eastern Standard Time to check in for our campsite.

The national debt is nearing $40 trillion, passing $39.5 trillion this month. The projected budget deficit this year, before the Iran not-war happened, was $1.9 trillion. Proposed extraordinary spending now pending in Congress could push this year’s deficit beyond $2 trillion.
The staggering amount of debt itself helps generate huge budget deficits. The interest on the debt this fiscal year is projected to hit $1 trillion for the first time. That amounts to 15% of total government spending. It is projected to grow as the debt continues to escalate.

Mississippi’s senior US Senator, Roger Wicker, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, continues to support Ukraine’s fight to preserve its freedom and democracy from Russian invasion. He notes “Vladimir Putin is a war criminal, a KGB alumnus, and oppressor of the Russian people” who threatens NATO and the West as its eastern flank.

Bob Crechale died on Christmas Eve 2025. His restaurant closed on February 14, 2026 (Valentine's Day). This was indeed the end of an era.
I grew up in Greenville and came to Jackson in 1964 to go to school. Then after spending two years in the Air Force I returned to Jackson in 1974. Over the course of time, I began to realize that most of the best restaurants in the city of Jackson were owned and operated by Greeks. Before coming to Jackson, I had dined only at the Rotisserie, the Belmont, and a Primos.
