“It’s a crying shame the Senate did not even come up with a proposal but decided to wait and cross their fingers hoping everything will work out,” State Rep. Hank Zuber said Tuesday morning.
Efforts proposed by the Mississippi House to temporarily allow liquor stores, restaurants and casinos to bypass the state’s backlogged Alcoholic Beverage Control have died in conference.

Below is a political opinion column by Russ Latino:
HB 1662 would create a rebuttable presumption of joint custody of children in divorces. It’s about time. The law should start valuing the role dads play. Children need both parents.
In Mississippi, child custody decisions are supposed to begin and end with one principle — the best interest of the child. That standard comes from the Mississippi Supreme Court decision in Albright v. Albright. That case requires judges to weigh a dozen factors to reach a fair outcome.

Speaker White said late Monday that the intent is to give lawmakers more time to address last-minute issues should there be agreement to do so or should the governor call a special session.
Mississippi lawmakers have agreed to a resolution to extend the 2026 regular session “on paper” to April 15, nearly two weeks after the initial sine die date which was set for this Sunday.
The state constitution requires that if the session is to be extended, it must be extended for 30 days.

Turkeys belong to the genus Meleagris and, surprisingly, only two species exist in the world today. Despite their cultural significance and widespread recognition, these large ground-dwelling birds have a relatively limited taxonomic diversity compared to many other bird families.

I saw the Easter Bunny hippity hopping back down the bunny trail Sunday night. He waved and said, “I’ll see you all again March 28, 2027!”
Love and sympathy to the Rusty Dogan family of Searcy, Arkansas. Rusty passed away April 2. He was the son of Jerry and Ollie Simmons Dogan. I remember Rusty when he was a young boy full of life and so much fun to be around.
Diane Dukes sent us four large boxes of food and two different desserts on Saturday and we made three meals out of it. Thank you so much for thinking of us, Diane!
