  Mississippi Heat Wave Hits Football Season | Jackson News

  Aug 21, 20262 min

  Mississippi’s football season is heating up — literally. With scorching temps pushing practices to a halt, schools are enforcing strict heat guidelines: 82-86.9°F means dial back drills, 87-89.9°F cuts practice to two hours, and 90°F+ limits it to one hour — no outdoor workouts if it hits 92°F or higher. Private schools follow looser rules but still prioritize hydration. Everyone — players, cheerleaders, bands, fans, officials — is sweating under the sun, with safety experts urging shade, water, and portable fans. Football’s back, but this heat? It’s not playing around. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

  JTRAN Drivers Win Pay Raise After Strike | Jackson News

  Aug 21, 20262 min

  After a month-long strike, JTRAN bus drivers are returning to work under a tentative deal with MV Transportation that delivers immediate 5% pay raises and a 3% increase over the next two years. The agreement also preserves two key neighborhood routes and Saturday service, while limiting MV’s ability to hire drivers without commercial licenses for ride-hailing. Beyond wages, drivers secured Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a holiday and a joint accident review board. But concessions fell short on paid lunch breaks and administrative leave policies, which remain unchanged. Union leaders acknowledge these gaps but stress the deal is a major win — though they’re already looking toward the future, predicting MV will likely be replaced by another operator by 2027, while JTRAN itself endures.

  Jackson Traffic Stop Raises Red Flags | Jackson News

  Aug 21, 20262 min

  A Jackson, Mississippi family is raising alarms over a bizarre August traffic stop where five police cars pulled over two young brothers — one of whom had a friend’s handgun. Though the officer cited a broken taillight, a detective issued a concealed weapon ticket — despite internal admissions that the department doesn’t even issue such tickets. Worse, the detective never filed the ticket, has no recorded calls in the system, and the case number links to a South Jackson call while the stop occurred in North Jackson. With no official response from police, the family questions whether the entire incident was fabricated — and whether justice is being served or ignored.

  Louisiana National Guard Leaves New Orleans | Jackson News

  Aug 21, 20261 min

  The Louisiana National Guard is wrapping up an eight-month deployment in New Orleans, with their final day on duty set for Monday, August 24th and full departure by August 31st. Mayor Helena Moreno praised their unwavering commitment, especially during major events like Mardi Gras, and thanked each service member and their families for their sacrifice. She emphasized that this isn’t a goodbye but a continuation of a vital partnership, as the city looks ahead to future collaborations to keep New Orleans safe. With the Guard’s presence ending, local agencies will now take the lead — but with gratitude and cooperation firmly in place.

  JXN Water Faces Rate Hike Amid Cash Crunch | Jackson News

  Aug 21, 20262 min

  JXN Water’s rate hike clock is ticking—interim manager Ted Henifin says a 10% jump by spring 2027 is unavoidable, despite recent progress in collections and a rare revenue win this year. But with debt, aging infrastructure, and dwindling federal grants, the system’s cash crunch deepens. Collections are up to 82%, but billing errors still plague customers—including one $31K bill later slashed—while the court calls it a “tragic Catch-22.” Costs will balloon from $114M this year to $186M by 2046, forcing tough choices as the utility scrambles to stay afloat.
