Amid pressure to “do something” and with “free ice cream on Fridays” vibes, the Mississippi House of Representatives and Mississippi Senate have traded competing proposals for budget-stretching teacher pay raises.

Throughout his decades of service to the country, he remained a committed husband and father. Richard Truly took that commitment seriously.
When the ill-fated Space Shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds into liftoff on January 28, 1986, the confidence of the entire nation was shattered. Every American, from the school child to the elderly and those who had never had an interest in space exploration, was devastated by the loss of the seven crew members whose lives were lost that chilly morning.
