AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

State Senate Shuffle: Lowndes County Supervisor Trip Hairston officially announced he’ll run for the District 17 state Senate seat in 2027, setting up a political ripple after Sen. Chuck Younger said he’s seeking the Northern District transportation commissioner post. Workforce Funding: Mississippi community colleges are set to receive more than $8.5 million in federal workforce training money, with Northwest Mississippi Community College leading short-term programs aimed at in-demand fields. Ole Miss Kratom Fallout: The Nolan Wells case remains a flashpoint as his family’s attorney Ben Crump released more cellphone and autopsy details after a grand jury declined to indict, while investigators continue to scrutinize kratom-linked concerns tied to Ole Miss student deaths. Public Safety & Justice: In Mississippi’s Tasia Fortune case, an AP report says police testimony described her hanging as “staged” after a drug dispute, as hearings continue for arrested suspects. Fuel Prices: GasBuddy data shows diesel prices varied sharply across Mississippi counties in the week ending Sept. 19, with Rankin County’s low at $5.15.
