Shelter cover pet Officials give up

school ownership BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Alcorn County Board of Supervisors agreed to give up the county’s ownership stake in the closed Glendale Elementary School property, allowing the community to move forward with its plans for the building. When the school closed, a portion of the property stayed under Alcorn School District ownership, and part of it reverted to the county government. “The town voted to approve at its last board meeting taking that property from the county and from the school system in order to combine ownership under one entity that could spearhead whatever eﬀorts

The calendars have finally arrived and a former rescue is on the cover. The second leg of CorinthAlcorn Animal Shelter’s biggest annual fundraiser kicked oﬀ this week with the late arrival of their 2017 calendar. Gracing the cover is Rupert Sayre, thanks in part to his fur-ever home parents Cotter and Linda Sayre who rallied around the little pup as he barked his way to the cover pet victory late last summer. Rupert, a small fawn-colored “Heinz 57” terrier mix, received more than 770 votes in the calendar submission and voting contest which raised

Charlotte Doehner Volunteer director $6,492 for the no-kill shelter. Another $1,775 was also received from advertisers to help cover the cost of printing. “We were simply overwhelmed,” said Volunteer Director Charlotte Doehner. “The turnout was amazing – our biggest year yet ... and the

Board puts brakes on drive-through BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The possibility of a second location for the tax collector’s oﬃce with a drive-through window for tax payments and car tag renewals is oﬀ the table for the current fiscal year. The Alcorn County Board of Supervisors on Monday voted not to proceed with possible plans to establish a location with a drive-through because of concerns about the proposed site and because it was not budgeted for this fiscal year. Tax Collector Larry Ross was interested in leasing space at the former Trustmark Bank branch location at the corner of East Shiloh Road and North

animal shelter.” In spring 2013, Rupert was rescued from the local shelter by the Sayre family and the rest is history. As the top vote-getter, Rupert received a professional photo shoot with local photographer Bill Avery. Two of those photos appear in the calendar. Doehner said 5,652 votes were casted on 77 entries from 147 participants during the contest. The calendar spotlights the top12 vote-getters from a online photo contest held in July and August 2016. The photo with the most votes at the end of the contest period won the cover and is also featured as a pet of month inside the calendar. All eligible photo submissions

appear in the calendar as inset squares on each monthly calendar page. Each entry was $15 and the entrant also received one free calendar. Votes were $1 each with a five ($5) vote minimum. In addition to Rupert, the calendar also features a Cocker Spaniel named Jax, Molly and Marley chasing squirrels, former rescue Hank the Tank, a three-year-old Torby cat named Zero, a yellow Lab named Rocky, a two-year-old Yorkie-Poo named Roxy, happy dog Georgia Mae, former shelter rescue cat named Grizzlie, dog siblings Buttercup, Lola and Chunk, Watson the PR dog and Coco Puﬀ meeting with Santa. The back page of the calendar pays tribute to Harper, the missing stray dog that lived on the corner of Harper Road and Proper Street for many years.

The 12-month, full color calendars are currently on sale for $10 each, a $5 discount due to their late arrival. “We are deeply sorry for the delay, but I hope everyone understands that the setbacks were out of our hands,” added Doehner. “I know some folks wanted these for Christmas gifts and that hurts us ...but the calendars are in now and they look amazing.” Printer production and shipping errors pushed the intended arrival date of the calendars back more than one month.

House votes to exempt top-rated school districts from state reporting Associated Press

JACKSON — The Mississippi House voted Monday to exempt top-rated school districts from having to report information about curriculum and some other matters to the state Department of Education. House Bill 1224 also would allow Aand B-rated districts to offer financial incentives to teachers. Some lower-rated school districts have difficulty attracting teachers, and current state law lets them forgive student loans and provide housing assistance and moving expenses. The bill would allow higher-rated districts to offer the same types of incentives. Rep. John Hines, D-Greenville, said that would let top teachers move away from districts that are rated C, D or F. “This is free agency gone buck wild,” Hines said. “You’re going to have teachers jumping around, going to the other team.... ‘Who’s going to pay me the most? Who’s going to set me free? Who’s going to give me a championship?’”

Rep. Brad Touchstone, R-Hattiesburg, said the bill aims to ease “burdensome” bureaucracy for high-performing districts. “It is really not that helpful when we know they are doing a good job,” Touchstone said. The bill says A- and B-rated districts would not have to report student grades to the state, undergo annual audits of their discipline plan or code of student conduct, and complete surveys from the Department of Education. They would be exempt from a textbook selection process established by the state, and teachers in the districts would not have to fulfill continuing education requirements to renew their licenses. Individual schools within the districts would not have to submit reports to their own local superintendent about the type and amount of work done in each grade. The bill passed the House 79-40, with significant opposition from Democrats. It moves to the Senate for more work.

Corinth, Miss.

Gorsuch is the anti-Trump If President Donald Trump is a budding authoritarian, as his critics allege, one of the safeguards is Judge Neil Gorsuch. For all that Trump has flouted norms and gotten oﬀ Rich to an at-times amateurish Lowry start in the White House, his pick of Gorsuch was extremeNational ly normal and highly profesReview sional. The Gorsuch nomination is exactly what everyone should want from a President Trump, especially those who most fear and loathe him. Yet Trump’s fiercest opponents began denouncing Gorsuch immediately. This is the dilemma for Democrats: Either Trump is a threat to the republic because he doesn’t appreciate the Constitution and is bound to violate it with excessive assertions of executive power, or Gorsuch is a threat to the republic because he has an overly punctilious view of the Constitution that entails, among other things, a dim view of executive overreach. Both can’t be true. The knee-jerk opposition to Gorsuch is a sign that Democrats either haven’t thought through what they believe about Trump or are seriously conflicted. Do they want to throw out the rule book because Trump is a potential dictator, or do they want to play by the conventional rules stipulating that they should fight a constitutionalist jurist because he won’t impose their progressive social agenda from the bench? If they really believe that Trump is as dangerous as they say, they should think of Gorsuch as the equivalent of Gen. James Mattis. He is a responsible choice from what they consider an irresponsible president, and they should embrace him on those grounds. Gorsuch is the opposite of Trump in every way that should matter toTrump’s enemies. If they worry that Trump has shown little regard for the Bill of Rights, Gorsuch is a stickler for it, including the Fourth Amendment that will be the foremost obstacle if Trump’s law-and-order agenda goes too far. If they are anxious about the Trump trampling on the other branches of government, Gorsuch calls the separation of powers “among the most important liberty-protecting devices of the constitutional design.” Why won’t Democrats follow the logic of their anti-Trump reasoning and support Gorsuch? First, there is sheer partisanship. They believe the Antonin Scalia seat has been “stolen” from them because Senate Republicans refused to act on the nomination of Merrick Garland. Second, there is the fact that Democrats don’t truly oppose Trump on procedural or constitutional grounds, and so have no use for the likes of Gorsuch. Liberals didn’t object to President Barack Obama’s executive orders unilaterally rewriting immigration law, or recoil when he was repeatedly shot down 9-0 by the Supreme Court. There is no principle about the limits of the government at stake here, only the question whether it is liberal or populist/conservative policies being imposed. Third, the left cares about social issues more than anything else, particularly the judicial imposition of the current abortion regime. If Gorsuch isn’t on board, it doesn’t make a diﬀerence whether he will be a presumptive check on the president or not. Finally, Democrats are getting sucked into the politics of the primal scream. They are heading toward all-out war against Trump, in which case all that matters about Gorsuch is that he is associated with the president. The best way for Trump to overcome this opposition is to make choices as sound as he did with Judge Neil Gorsuch -- an unassailable pick being assailed by people who profess to yearn for sobriety and traditional norms, even as they reject both themselves. Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

Prayer for today My Father, may I ever be kept in remembrance of my virtue, and may I be sensitive to its strength. As I go on my way, keep me within control of the impetuous desires of my nature, and in call of the duties and obligations of my daily life. Amen.

A verse to share If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. —James 1:5

Be careful what you wish for At the National Prayer Breakfast last week, President Trump promised to “totally destroy” the socalled “Johnson Amendment,” a law that prohibits churches from endorsing or opposing political candidates at the risk of losing their tax-exempt status. Politifact.com gives the background on how the amendment became law: “The restriction was championed by (Lyndon Johnson) in 1954 when Johnson was a U.S. senator running for re-election. A conservative nonprofit group that wanted to limit the treatymaking ability of the president produced material that called for electing his primary opponent, millionaire rancher-oilman Dudley Dougherty, and defeating Johnson. There was no church involved. “Johnson, then Democratic minority leader, responded by introducing an amendment to Section 501(c)(3) of the federal tax code dealing with taxexempt charitable organizations, including groups organized and operated exclusively for religious,

charitable, scientific, literacy and educational purposes, or to prevent cruelty to Rich children or Lowry animals. It said, in efNational fect, that if Review you want to be absolved from paying taxes, you couldn’t be involved in partisan politics.” Conservatives have argued that the Johnson Amendment limits the free speech of pastors and ignores the history of the nation. They also claim the law is applied unevenly, especially when it comes to African-American churches, which have a long history of inviting mostly Democratic political candidates to speak in their churches and on occasion endorsing them without having their tax-exempt status challenged. Opponents of the amendment have a point, but there is a larger one. From the founding of the nation, through the Civil War when

fiery pro- and anti-slavery sermons were heard from pulpits, to Prohibition, to contemporary examples, the ordained have played active roles in the nation’s political and social life. Pastors should be as free as anyone to speak their minds on political issues, but should they do so from the pulpit? By focusing more on the temporal than the eternal there is the risk of diluting the power in their message. There are legitimate concerns that government is not sufficiently protecting people whose consciences forbid them from participating in activities they consider immoral. Recent examples include lawsuits against Christian bakers and photographers who have refused service to people whose lifestyles offend their beliefs. The Obama administration ordered The Little Sisters of the Poor to provide contraceptives to staff members as part of their health insurance in contravention of Catholic teaching. The subtle temptation for evangelicals to engage in partisan politics dilutes

their primary message. If I go to a political rally, I expect to hear political speeches. When I go to church, I am expecting soul food. Yes, Congress should repeal the law prohibiting preachers from talking about politics from the pulpit while passing a new law protecting the consciences of believers. The larger question is: should preachers preach on politics and to what end? Whether the Johnson law is repealed, or not, evangelicals have a more powerful message than partisan politics. Senate Chaplain Barry Black referenced that power by quoting from an old hymn at last Thursday’s prayer breakfast: “My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus’ name. On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.” He said that includes government institutions. Isn’t that a better message for conservative Christians to preach than the sinking sand of partisan politics?

It’s time to think about what motivates bullies OXFORD — The whole world keeps trying to figure out what makes this Trump person tick. Fans and foes alike probe this person’s every word on the sincere belief there must be more than meets the eye. What’s his plan? Is he practicing politics for personal profit? Is he Machiavellian, rewarding friends and punishing enemies? Is he a core conservative who believes that limited government maximizes prosperity? Is he a closet liberal who sees no problem with sending the national debt past the stratosphere? Is he racist and sexist but not homophobic? Is he a stooge for his billionaire buddies, or does he mean it when he says America won’t be great again until its cities are healed and people are working? Is he well on his way to, “Make America great again?” The better question may be, “Does he have a plan?” Bullies, as a rule, don’t. Bullies become bullies as a mask to cope with their inferiority, their shortcomings. In psychobabble, bullying is a “coping mechanism.” Remember when Toto pulled back the curtain, revealing to Dorothy that the Wizard of Oz was really a

little old stuttering man? The wizard had no answers. All he had was bluster Charlie and blow. Mitchell T r a p p i n g s of greatness. Columnist Not greatness. A bully makes fun of the teacher when he doesn’t know the answer to a question. Could it be that President Trump targets the media — which clearly has longstanding doubts about his authenticity — because he doesn’t have answers? He made some pretty strong declarations: Rid the planet of Isis. Control spending. Lower taxes. Sweeping infrastructure improvements. Seal the borders. Support the military and veterans. Bring back jobs. Prosperity for all. End regulations that confound capitalism. Save the planet from those who want to save the planet. Replace Obamacare with something better. Suppose that was your homework. Where would you start? What would you do? Of course, in politics giving the appearance of a solution is often as good as a solution. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was to end dis-

crimination in voting. It didn’t. The Clean Water Act was supposed to save stop pollution. The environment is still in trouble. John F. Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act in 1963. Guess what? Women are still paid, on average, 20 percent less than men for the same work. The point is that the challenges Candidate Trump promised so abrasively, so confidently he would be able to address are now in the lap of President Trump. He was dismissive, scornful of the attempts of President Obama and both Republicans and Democrats in Congress. He built up the hopes of the faithful that there were quick fixes, such as building a wall or bartering deals to keep manufacturing jobs. A good guess is that, whether he realizes it or not and while it’s still very early in his presidency, there’s a vast gulf between promising and delivering. In a more perfect world, the public’s expectations of leaders would not so quickly reach critical mass. In a more perfect world, we would elect people who said, “I’m not sure what we can do about this, but I’ll work at it.” That’s not how it works.

lions at the same time. It’s possible that with the public setting this standard for leadership we open the door to those who are exceptional at talking the talk and have no clue how to walk the walk. So they lash out at non-believers in the media and elsewhere. It’s their mechanism for coping with their shortcomings. Everything preceding this has been opinion and speculation, but here is a fact: A nation can tear itself apart with vitriol and animosity. All presidents have loathed the media or various components of the media. All presidents have used the media as scapegoats. And there’s this: The press has its share of wackos in its ranks. What’s unprecedented is to have a president who doesn’t think he’s accountable to anyone who disagrees with him. In his inaugural address, President Trump said his victory was all about returning government to the people. The insiders were going to become outsiders. But to date his actions and orders have been, well, reactionary. Bullies bully because they have no answers. As Texans say, “All hat, no cattle.” Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist.

One potential problem with nandina is the possibility of some weediness from the heavy fruit production. Several states have identified heavenly bamboo as invasive. If you have a small space, you’re in luck because dwarf nandina varieties have been developed and have increased the landscape options. The foliage colors are awesome. Most of the dwarfs do not flower consistently, thus they do not have the gorgeous fruit production. However, some varieties may flower and develop fruit in colder environments.

Firepower grows about 2 feet tall and wide with a compact mounding habit. The foliage is green and transforms to red for the cooler months. The in-

tensity of foliage color depends on whether the specimen is planted in full sun or partial shade. The colors are markedly more vivid with increased sunlight. Because nandina tends to be a slow grower, my advice is to buy the big-

gest plants you can aﬀord. Sometimes, homeowners buy smaller plants and put them close together to fill in an area. Ultimately, these plants become crowded, and some have to be removed. Buying larger plants and transplanting them according to their mature size actually results in better fill-in with fewer plants. As with all landscape shrubs, plant your selections in well-drained soil and use a layer of organic mulch around the base. A little slow-release fertilizer scratched in around the plant each spring keeps your nandina shrubs well fed.

McNairy native now Secret Service agent BY JEFF YORK

“I’ve never had a real stressful moment in my years as an agent. Our organization and planning makes sure we do not have any surprises.”

For the Daily Corinthian

WASHINGTON, D.C. — While millions of people watched the Inauguration Day Parade on television and around 500,000 in person, there was one McNairy County man with a clear view of the parade because he was in it. A 1995 graduate of McNairy Central High School and a native of Ramer, Tenn., Thomas (“T.J.”) Riley has been a member of the Secret Service for 15 years. He currently serves as a Special Agent in the Transportation Section of the Vice Presidential detail. In this role he frequently drives the Vice President’s limousine along with other cars in his motorcade. During the inauguration, Riley was in charge of the motorcade planning for the weekend that took weeks of work to complete. On Inauguration Day, he rode and walked along the parade route as part of the Vice President Pence’s protection. The agent proudly said that having his sons Brock

T.J. Riley Vice presidential special agent (9) and Holden (5) in the crowd watching their dad during the historical event was a special moment. His wife Autumn Chapman Riley, who is also a MCHS graduate, watched along the parade route as well. “It was pretty cool for them to get to see me in the parade because they don’t normally get to see me when I am working,” said Riley. He said growing up with a father involved in law enforcement was a huge influence in him choosing to go this route for a career. Tommy Riley was a sheriﬀ’s deputy for McNairy County, Ramer police chief and served as McNairy County sheriﬀ. A civilian would think Jaye Smith, RMT #67

that being an agent in charge of protecting the Vice President would be stressful. Riley said the job is not as stressful as some might believe. “I’ve never had a real stressful moment in my years as an agent,” said Riley. “Our organization and planning makes sure we do not have any surprises.” The question most often asked of Riley by his friends is ‘Where have you been lately?’ He said his favorite trip so far as an agent was to Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. Riley normally returns to McNairy County about once a year, normally Thanksgiving week, to visit his parents and inlaws. He said it is a 14hour drive from their

home in Fairfax, Vir to his native home county. “It is hard for me to believe that a boy from Ramer has grown up to work for the Secret Service,” said Riley. “I love my job because there is never a dull moment.” The Vice President lives on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory. That is where the Secret Service oﬃce is located where Riley works each day. Agents have various work schedules because the home is protected 24 hours a day. The Secret Service is one of the oldest federal law enforcement agencies in the country. The agency began at the end of the Civil War in 1865. The Secret Service was originally founded to combat the then-widespread counterfeiting of U.S. currency. In 1901, the agency was asked to begin its protective mission after the assassination of President William McKinley – the third sitting U.S. President to be assassinated.

Tornadoes touch down, wreak havoc in Louisiana BY KEVIN MCGILL Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — The tornadoes that struck southeastern Louisiana on Tuesday injured about 20 people, destroyed homes and businesses, flipped cars and trucks, and left about 10,000 customers without power, but no deaths were reported, the governor said. Gov. John Bel Edwards took an aerial tour and made a disaster declaration before meeting with oﬃcials in New Orleans. The worst damage was in the same 9th Ward that was so heavily flooded in Hurricane Katrina. Edwards, a Democrat, said he was heartbroken to see some of the same people suﬀering again, and promised that the state will provide the affected citizens with the resources they need as quickly as possible. He said seven parishes were hit by tornadoes in an afternoon of tumultuous weather across southeastern Louisiana. Hatchet-wielding firefighters walked up and down the debris-strewn Chef Menteur Highway after the storm, looking for anyone missing or trapped. Their primary search came up empty, and a secondary search was planned to make sure and to better assess the damage. Edwards said he called in the Louisiana National Guard to police and secure the area, and urged people to stay away. “This is not a time to sight-see,” he said. The storm ripped apart homes, toppled a gas station canopy, snapped tall power poles

“How you manage to get blown completely across the street with cinderblocks flying and no worse than a couple broken limbs — apparently the good Lord was looking after them.” Craig McGehee Killian, La., mayor and flipped a food truck upside-down. It left shards of metal hanging from trees, and trapped a truck driver as power lines wrapped around his cab. The wall of severe weather also delivered heavy rain and hail to Mississippi and Alabama. Press Secretary Sean Spicer said the White House was monitoring the weather’s impact, and that President Donald Trump would be reaching out to local and state oﬃcials. Yoshekia Brown lost everything to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Now she’s lost everything again: Three-quarters of her home in eastern New Orleans collapsed. “Sister, your house is gone,” her brother told her as she drove home. She didn’t believe it until she saw it herself. “I lived in between two blighted properties. One of those would have been gone before my house,” she said. “It’s just gone. Like the movie Twister.” Luckily her 2-year-old son and three dogs have survived, and her home was insured. She said she’s not sure what to do next, but said “something good has to come from this.” Outside the heavily

damaged Royal Palms Motel, Malcolm Ballard, 65, was left homeless by the tornado. His room was ransacked; the furniture and carpet soaked after the door and windows blew open. Kevin Ballard, 56, came to check on his older brother, but his own injuries turned out to be worse, with cuts and bruises on his head and neck, after an auto repair shop he was in collapsed around him. The Baton Rouge area also got hit. Ascension Parish Sheriﬀ’s spokeswoman Allison Hudson says three people suffered minor injuries and several homes and some other buildings were damaged in the historic part of Donaldsonville, about 20 miles southwest of the capital. In Killian, just east of Baton Rouge, the mayor said several houses were destroyed and several others damaged, but an elderly couple suﬀered the only injuries he knew of: One a broken leg, the other a broken arm. “How you manage to get blown completely across the street with cinderblocks flying and no worse than a couple broken limbs — apparently the good Lord was looking after them,” said Mayor Craig McGehee.

“I thought this would be such a window of opportunity to put these people who are in outlying areas and can’t come to the courthouse and can’t climb the stairs … all these kinds of scenarios, it’s a wonderful time for us to address that and make our county business a little bit more accessible,” said Ross. Board Attorney Bill Davis said the state auditor’s office strongly advised against the office sharing space with a private business in an open-air situation. “Their conclusion was the same as mine — that you eventually would have a violation of law,” said Davis. “You certainly would have a violation of good audit procedures, because your internal controls where it’s an open-air type environment would be nonexistent.” It would only be possible if the offices were separated and had their own entrances, he said. Ross said the owners suggested the possibility of a wrought iron enclosure, but supervisors were not in favor of that option.

Federal judges hear Trump travel ban SAN FRANCISCO — A panel of federal judges expressed skepticism Tuesday over the need for President Donald Trump’s travel ban, which has upended travel to the U.S. for more than a week and tested the new administration’s use of executive power. The government asked the appeals court to restore Trump’s order, contending that the president alone has the power to decide who can enter or stay in the United States. But several states have challenged the ban on travelers from seven predominantly Muslim nations and insisted that it is unconstitutional. Circuit Judge Michelle T. Friedland, who was appointed by President Barack Obama, asked whether the government has any evidence connecting the seven predominantly Muslim nations covered by the ban to terrorism. August Flentje, special counsel to the assistant attorney general, said the government is aware of some foreign nationals who have been arrested in the U.S. since Sept. 11, but he did not give details of the evidence. He also said president has broad power to enforce national security.

Historic vote gives DeVos position WASHINGTON — Charter school advocate Betsy DeVos won confirmation as education secretary Tuesday by the slimmest of margins, pushed to approval only by the historic tie-breaking vote of Vice President Mike Pence. Two Republicans, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, joined Democrats in a marathon effort to derail the nomination of the wealthy Republican donor. The Senate historian said Pence’s vote was the first by a vice president to break a 50-50 tie on a Cabinet nomination. Despite the win, DeVos emerged bruised from the highly divisive nomination fight. Opposed by half the Senate, she faced criticism, even ridicule for lack of experience and confusion during her confirmation hearing. At one point, she said some schools should have guns because of the threat of grizzly bears. And there has been scathing opposition from teachers unions

and civil rights activists over her support of charter schools and her conservative religious ideology. President Donald Trump accused Democrats of seeking to torpedo education progress. In a tweet before the vote, he wrote, “Betsy DeVos is a reformer, and she is going to be a great Education Sec. for our kids!”

GOP kills election commission WASHINGTON — A House committee voted on Tuesday to eliminate an independent election commission charged with helping states improve their voting systems as President Donald Trump erroneously claims widespread voter fraud cost him the popular vote. The party-line vote came less than two days after Trump vowed to set up a White House commission helmed by Vice President Mike Pence to pursue his accusations of election fraud. “We’re going to look at it very, very carefully,” Trump said of voter fraud in an interview with Fox News that aired Sunday. “It has to do with the registration, and when you look at the registration and you see dead people that have voted.” Reports that Trump told congressional leaders in a meeting last month that 3 to 5 million ballots were cast illegally during the 2016 race were met with discomfort on Capitol Hill. While top Republicans have refused to disavow his charges of election fraud, they haven’t pushed for action on the issue, which remains a low priority for congressional leadership.

Army to allow oil pipeline completion BISMARCK, N.D. — The Army said Tuesday that it will allow the $3.8 billion Dakota Access oil pipeline to cross under a Missouri River reservoir in North Dakota, clearing the way for completion of the disputed fourstate project. However, construction could still be delayed because the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, which has led opposition to the pipeline, said it would fight the latest development in court. The Army intends to cancel further environmental study and allow the Lake Oahe crossing as early as Wednesday, according to court documents the Justice Department filed that

include letters to members of Congress from Deputy Assistant Army Secretary Paul Cramer.

Twitter fights hate and abuse NEW YORK — Twitter announced Tuesday that it is expanding efforts to protect its users from abuse and harassment, the latest milestone in a broader, growing corporate campaign to crack down on online hate. The social media giant said it has begun identifying people who have been banned for abusive behavior and it will stop them from creating new accounts. The company said its changes, which also include a new “safe search” feature, will be implemented in the coming weeks. In July, Twitter banned conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, an editor of the rightwing news site Breitbart News, for “participating in or inciting targeted abuse of individuals.” Twitter subsequently suspended the accounts of other prominent figureheads of the “alt-right” fringe movement, an amorphous mix of racism, white nationalism, xenophobia and anti-feminism.

Company accused of conning victims NEW YORK — A company that promised sick 9/11 responders and NFL players with concussion injuries that it could “cut through red tape” to get their payouts faster lured them into advances that meant hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegally high interest and fees, authorities said Tuesday. In a lawsuit filed Tuesday, New York’s attorney general and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau allege that New Jersey-based RD Legal Funding and its founder Roni Dersovitz snared 9/11 responders who are struggling with cancer and respiratory illness as well as former NFL players with brain injuries into taking costly advances on their settlements. Authorities said the company contacted the responders and former NFL players when it found out about their settlements, but before the people were actually paid. RD Legal Funding allegedly advertised that it could “cut through red tape” to get victims their money more quickly, but in fact had no legal ability to do so.

Lawmakers pledge funding details soon JACKSON — Top Mississippi lawmakers say a new K-12 school funding formula will be unveiled this week and it won’t raise the share that local districts must pay. House Appropriations Committee Chairman John Read, a Gautier Republican, says he expects a plan “in the next couple of days.” Placeholder bills could be amended with details as lawmakers consider them before a Thursday deadline. Read and Senate Education Committee Chairman Gray Tollison, an Oxford Republican, both say any bill won’t raise a district’s share above the current 27 percent cap. The consultant who proposed changes sought to abolish that cap, which could force 30 districts to raise taxes or cut spending. Both lawmakers acknowledge that keeping the cap makes other proposed changes more expensive for the state.

Senate approves BP money bill JACKSON — Mississippi senators want to create a new savings account channeling damage payments from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill to projects on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The Senate voted unanimously Tuesday to approve Senate Bill 2634 , which would create an account to $750 million in receive economic damages that BP has agreed to pay to Mississippi over 17 years. The measure now moves to the House for more debate. House Speaker Philip Gunn, a Clinton Republican, has said the oil spill settlement should be spent on projects to grow the coastal economy and, by extension, state economy. The Senate measure is co-sponsored by six Mississippi coast senators and backed by Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves.

Faith-based council bill advances JACKSON — A plan for Mississippi’s governor to set up an advisory council on faith-based initiatives is moving ahead in the Legislature.

The measure moves to the House, which is considering its own proposal. Sen. Jenifer Branning, a Philadelphia Republican, says supporters of the measure believe some social problems can be better addressed by using non-government resources. She says the council will “open the lines of communication” between religious groups and the governor’s office.

Mayor tells workers to take polygraph VICKSBURG — Vicksburg Mayor George Flaggs Jr. says he wants all city workers who handle money to be required to take polygraph tests. Flaggs told The Vicksburg Post that “taxpayers need to know we’re not losing their money.” He brought up the idea Monday, as he and city aldermen discussed hiring a certified public accountant to audit the court services department because of allegations that money was

mishandled. That department processes cases for the city’s Municipal Court and collects fines for traffic and misdemeanor offenses. Flaggs said he would like to see polygraph tests administered randomly “like a drug test.” He said he’s asked the city attorney to research a new polygraph policy.

Man gets 25 years for DUI wreck PICAYUNE — A Carriere man has been sentenced to the maximum 25 years in prison for killing his passenger by driving drunk. District Attorney Hal Kitrell said in a news release that the judge who sentenced 52-year-old Walter Dewayne Sanford noted it was his fifth DUI conviction. The Picayune Item reports a jury convicted Sanford last month of causing the death of 50-year-old Teresa Spiers by driving under the influence. Authorities said Sanford crashed into another vehicle on Interstate 59 in November 2014, causing both cars to flip repeatedly. Blood tests showed Sanford’s blood alcohol level was .231 at the time of the crash — almost three times state’s legal limit of .08 percent.

3 counties receive aid after tornado HATTIESBURG — The Federal Emergency Management Agency is approving aid to governments in Forrest, Lamar and Perry counties following a Jan. 21 tornado. Mississippi officials announced the approval Tuesday. State officials said earlier that Mississippi had to show $4.2 million in damage to public facilities to win such a declaration. A tornado killed four people on a 31-mile path across Lamar, Forrest and Perry counties.

Bills would expand state seatbelt law JACKSON — Buckle up and drive right: The Mississippi House is advancing two bills to further regulate behavior on the roads. The House voted Tuesday to pass House Bill 539 , requiring all backseat passengers to wear seat belts. Current state law requires seatbelts for people in the front seat, and small children

Banks celebrate Wall Street is celebrating President Donald Trump’s push to deregulate, well, Wall Street. Shares of the major investment banks rose sharply late last week after President Trump signed an executive order to start rolling back portions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The law was a response to reckless risk-taking by banks that inflated a housing bubble, kindled the financial crisis and eventually required a taxpayer bailout. The first part of Dodd-Frank that Wall Street is excited to see rolled back or repealed is the so-called “fiduciary rule.” Under this rule, approved by the Labor Department last year, brokers who sell stocks, bonds and other investments would have to do more than just make sure they’re “suitable” for clients.

Deflated results? Wall Street projects that Goodyear Tire’s latest quarterly results declined from a year earlier. The tire maker is expected to report today that its earnings and revenue fell in the last three months of 2016 from a year earlier. Goodyear posted better earnings, but lower revenue on the first three quarters of last year. Investors will be listening for an update on how sales trends are faring in the current quarter.
