Gov. Tate Reeves and Child Protection Services Commissioner Andrea Sanders on Monday asked a federal judge to dismiss a decades-long lawsuit against the state over its historically neglectful foster care system.
If the state is successful in its effort to finally rid itself of the litigation, it would be an end to the Olivia Y. v. Barbour lawsuit that has spanned three governors and multiple CPS commissioners and cost the state hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees.

Elon Musk’s data center company, xAI, has more than doubled the number of unchecked natural gas generators at its Southaven facility since coming to Mississippi last summer.
The company uses the turbines to power its two data centers just across the state line in Memphis, and is also planning to build another large center in Southaven. XAI now has 46 “temporary-mobile” turbines at its Mississippi facility, according to the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, up from 18 turbines when it first arrived last year.

A law set to repeal July 1 allows the Department of Child Protection Services, youth courts, parents and others to share records that are otherwise confidential.
Mississippi’s youth court proceedings could grind to a halt and federal child welfare funding could be jeopardized come July if the Legislature does not revive one of the state laws dealing with the confidentiality of records involving children, state officials are warning Gov. Tate Reeves.

Warm and pleasant greetings to all. We hope you are enjoying a good week.
Last Wednesday, firefighters responded to a house fire in the Blue Cane community. The mobile home was completely destroyed. In an attempt to try, the resident was unsuccessful in extinguishing the fire and received minor burns. No other injuries were noted and no nearby homes were in danger.
June is National Cancer Survivors Month. As a caring community, we honor each and every survivor, because each one counts.

School is out for the summer! And, that thermostat on the Bank of Commerce keeps going up higher and higher each day. For some children, it only takes mere hours, and not days, for them to be bored, and that is why we have filled the summer weeks with fun events at CARE. Even though the summer may seem shorter this year, our summer camps are guaranteed to keep children busy until the school bell tolls in the fall.
