AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Local Politics: Olive Branch Mayor Ken Adams is pushing back on President Donald Trump’s order to fly U.S. flags at half-staff for Dolly Parton, saying the gesture should be reserved for military heroes, presidents, fallen first responders, and events with major national impact. Transportation & Infrastructure: Mississippi’s MDOT unveiled “The Big Fix,” the I-20/I-55 Freight Corridors Improvement Project, targeting bridge rehab and interstate resurfacing around the Jackson metro to improve safety and extend bridge life. Health Care (Medicaid): New state-by-state Medicaid spending snapshots show sharp local changes in Mississippi categories, including big jumps in Waveland dental services and rising Richland medical-surgical supplies. Public Safety: Arkansas State Police reported eight wrecks across the state since Thursday, including a fatal I-55 crash near Blytheville. Sports: Ole Miss and Mississippi State are both in focus as college football season approaches, with analysts pointing to roster depth and expectations for 2026.
