MDA chief: Leaders inspire positive action BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The state’s economic development chief challenged local leaders to inspire positive action during a Corinth visit on Tuesday.

Glenn McCullough Jr., executive director of the Mississippi Development Authority, addressed a joint meeting of Kiwanis, Civitans and Rotary for an update on the Commission on the Future of Alcorn County.

“The truth of the matter is economic development happens right here,” said the former TVA chairman. Since 2012, MDA has worked with The Alliance on more than eight projects involving more

than 300 new jobs — a positive sign for local leadership, he said. “You hear a lot about leadership, but you rarely ever hear anybody define it,” said McCullough. “Leadership is

The Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Tuesday promoted Todd Welch to fire chief. It was just six months ago that he was promoted to assistant chief upon the retirement of John Wood. The outgoing chief, “Lucky” Briggs, is taking unused leave time for the next several months. Welch is looking forward to taking on the role of chief. “I enjoy helping people,” he said. “I love sports, and with the fire department you

Bringing the fun and excitement of the iconic Kentucky Derby to East Corinth, the 54th Annual Charity Ball proved to be a huge success as hundreds turned out for the event. Clothed in seersucker, dra-

matic hats, colorful spring dresses and bow ties, guests readily embraced the equestrian theme, many going the extra mile to make an impression. “It was an absolutely amazing Charity Ball. The Kentucky Derby theme really set the tone for the evening,” said Junior

Blue Mountain BMC board begins plan for long-term

Today is Wednesday, April 6, the 97th day of 2016. There are 269 days left in the year.

BLUE MOUNTAIN — The Board of Trustees of Blue Mountain College unanimously approved the conceptual framework for a seven-year strategic enrollment plan entitled “Grow BMC”. The plan involves three strategic initiatives: a review of all academic programs, expansion of athletic teams, and expansion of extracurricular activities. These goals are designed to expand the College’s size and quality of academic offerings and student activities. “It is exciting to see the opportunities to grow BMC when most private, faith-based colleges are dealing with declining enrollments,” said Linda Gholston, chair of the BMC Board of Trustees. “President Barbara McMillin and her leadership team have done intensive work to develop a plan for the growth and expansion of Blue Mountain College,” she said. Over the next three years BMC will add a variety of new athletic teams including varsity squads in baseball, softball, and women’s basketball, and varsity teams in tennis, bowling, archery, and possibly soccer and track and field. Extra- and co-curricular activities will include the establishment of a band, a newspaper staff, and a yearbook staff. A host of other options are under consideration. “We are excited about these new options, which we believe will provide students access to the type of Christ-centered educational experience that Blue Mountain College offers,” said President McMillin. The plan prioritizes pay raises for faculty and staff, completion of a sports complex and renovations to Tyler Gymnasium. Other aspects of the plan include the construction of a math/science building, a library annex, a band hall, residential housing, and

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 6, 1896, the first modern Olympic games formally opened in Athens, Greece.

On this date: In 1830, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints was organized by Joseph Smith in Fayette, New York. In 1886, the Canadian city of Vancouver, British Columbia, was incorporated. In 1909, American explorers Robert E. Peary and Matthew A. Henson and four Inuits (IH’-noowits) became the first men to reach the North Pole. In 1917, Congress approved a declaration of war against Germany. In 1945, during World War II, the Japanese warship Yamato and nine other vessels sailed on a suicide mission to attack the U.S. fleet off Okinawa; the fleet was intercepted the next day. In 1954, a month after being criticized by newsman Edward R. Murrow on CBS’ “See It Now,” Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, R-Wis., was given the chance to respond on the program; in his pre-filmed remarks, McCarthy charged that Murrow had, in the past, “engaged in propaganda for Communist causes.” In 1965, the United States launched Intelsat I, also known as the “Early Bird” communications satellite, into geosynchronous orbit. In 1971, Russian-born composer Igor Stravinsky, 88, died in New York City. In 1980, 3M introduced its “Post-it Notes,” a re-branding of a product formerly known as “Press ‘n Peel.” In 1996, actress Greer Garson died in Dallas at age 91. In 1998, country singer Tammy Wynette died at her Nashville home at age 55. In 2014, actor Mickey Rooney, 93, died in North Hollywood.

Tupelo Resident assistant arrested for drugs TUPELO — Angela Sweat, 37, of Tupelo, has been arrested for alleged possession of a controlled substance, announced Attorney General Jim Hood today. Sweat turned herself in to authorities Friday following an indictment by a Lee County Grand Jury on one count of acquiring or obtaining possession of a controlled substance or a legal drug by larceny, embezzlement, misrepresentation, fraud, forgery, deception or subterfuge. At the time the crime is alleged to have been committed, Sweat was working as a Resident Assistant at a facility in Tupelo. The indictment alleges that Sweat obtained Norco, a controlled substance, that was prescribed to and purchased for a patient at of the facility. She alleged converted the pills for her own use. Sweat was booked into the Lee County jail and posted a $3,000 bond. The defendant faces a maximum of five years in prison and $1,000 in fines. As with all cases, a charge is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. Sweat has posted bond. It isn’t immediately clear if she has an attorney. The case was investigated by Joe Sanderson and will be prosecuted by Special Assistant Mark McClinton of the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. The Lee County Sheriff’s Department assisted with the investigation.

OXFORD — Women CEOs are more likely than male CEOs to be targeted by activist investors, a University of Mississippi business professor’s research has found. Vishal Gupta, associate professor of management, began working with Seonghee Han of Frostburg State University and Sandra Mortal and Sabatino Silveri of the University of Memphis on the study in August. The team’s findings, titled “Barbarians at the Gate: Do Women CEOs Face Greater Threat than Male CEOs from Activist Investors?” were shared recently in a UM School of Business Administration talk. “We were reading articles about activist investors targeting companies, and it seemed disturbing that although fewer large public companies have women CEOs compared to male CEOs, the articles we read were so often about activists targeting women CEOs,” Gupta said. “We collected 13D filings (the Securities and Exchange Commission requires those wanting to take an active position against a company to file Schedule 13D) and merged those with Execucomp data. Our sample is large publicly traded firms over the 1996-to-2013 time period.” Gupta and his colleagues have two main findings from their study. “First, women CEOs are more likely than male CEOs to be targeted by activist inves-

tors,” he said. “Second, women CEOs are more likely than male CEOs to be mobbed by activist investors.” Being mobbed, also referred to as ‘wolf-pack attack,’ is when several people attack a person, with or without deliberate coordination. The team also found that the likelihood of women CEOs losing their jobs after being targeted by activist investors almost doubles, which is much higher than the increase in likelihood of male CEOs losing their jobs in the aftermath of similar attacks. “Almost every day now, the Wall Street Journal and other business publications have articles about activists taking positions against the management of the companies they hold stock in,” Gupta said. “These activists usually defend their aggressive stance by saying that they are targeting undervalued companies – so looking out for shareholders – but our research reveals insidious – as well as subtle and invisible – biases in their targeting of which even the activists themselves may not be aware.” More broadly, the results also suggest that women in leadership positions are subjected to greater scrutiny than male leaders, which is a problem and concern when one considers that workplace equality is a prized goal in modern societies. Ken Cyree, dean of the Ole Miss business school, said he is pleased that Gupta is able to contribute so quickly to the school’s academic environment and looks forward to his future contributions. “We are glad to have Dr. Gupta join our faculty and continue the proud tradition of impactful scholarship in the School of Business Administration,” Cyree said. “It is especially meaningful and enhances our reputation when our research is used to create value and enhance the effectiveness of businesses, and with his work, Dr. Gupta is contributing to these goals.”

Corinth, Miss.

Do not fear the chalk Students at the University of Michigan called police the other day – because someone had written Donald Trump’s name in chalk. No arrests were made. The episode is part of a nationRich wide trend of Trump supLowry porters writing pro-Trump messages on sidewalks, stairs National and other surfaces at college Review campuses, where fainting fits are sure to ensue. When they could get no relief from law enforcement, the University of Michigan students took it upon themselves to erase the offending messages – including “Trump 2016,” “Build the Wall” and “Stop Islam” – while fighting through feelings of betrayal. One student complained that there should be a special emergency number to call in such cases – one wonders how often students are really going to need recourse to an unwelcome-chalk-message hotline – and said that the administration’s inadequate response “perpetuates these really racist and hateful stereotypes that turn into violence and turn into students of color feeling unsafe on campus.” Rarely before have a few scribblings been so traumatizing – and written not even in ink or paint, but in the same chalk used to mark out hopscotch courts and write temporary promotional messages about sorority mixers and student theatrical productions. That chalk messages can be considered tantamount to a physical threat captures the crisis of free speech on campus perfectly. What has become known on social media as “the chalkening” demonstrates how some college kids can’t be exposed to the simplest expression of support for a major presidential candidate without wanting to scurry to the nearest safe space. By this standard, a “Make America Great Again” hat is a hate crime waiting to happen. It’s not clear how any of these students can turn on cable TV or look at the polls for the Republican nomination these days without being triggered. Pro-Trump chalking took oﬀ after the reaction at Emory University, where some students were reduced to tears by the messages and said they felt “fear.” Protesters gathered at an administration building and let loose the antiphonal chant “You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!” This might have been an appropriate response if the kids had been tear-gassed, rather than seeing a positive phrase about a candidate that is supported by some significant plurality of the American public. The president of the school, James Wagner, promised to review security footage to try to identify the perpetrators, and in a statement full of campus-diversity jargon pledged, among other things, “immediate refinements to certain policy and procedural deficiencies” and “regular and structured opportunities for diﬃcult dialogues.” How about striking an even greater blow for diversity and asking the kids to get over seeing a political message that they disagree with? To his credit, Wagner himself chalked “Emory stands for free expression,” a message that will evidently have trouble penetrating the incuriosity of some of his students. The reaction to the chalkening is a testament to the charge surrounding Trump. He is like the Washington Redskins of political candidates – so politically incorrect that some people can’t bear to see or hear his name. This branding isn’t prudent positioning for a general election, but it makes Trump a perfect vehicle for provoking the other side. The students getting the vapors over it don’t understand free expression or what it means to live in a free society, where you inevitably encounter people who have ideas and support candidates that you oppose. They hate Donald Trump. Fine. That is reason to argue and agitate against him, not to seek protection from any contact with supporters of his, no matter how tenuous. If they are having a hard time handling this election cycle, just imagine how Reince Priebus feels. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)

Prayer for today Loving Father, help me to live a simple and noble life. Grant that I may have the blessedness that comes through peace, and escape the misery that comes from cruelty and untruth. Through my life may what I reap show that I have been careful in choosing and cultivating what I have sown. Amen.

A verse to share “And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.” Mark 4:39

Can’t we do better? Occasionally I am asked if I ever considered running for political office. My response: “I did once, but I took two aspirin, lay down for a while and the feeling went away.” Besides not wanting to accept a pay cut, why would I want to put myself through the agony of exposing the smallest misdeed and bad decision to political opponents and a ravenous media who could turn my public image into something no family member would recognize? Not to mention the amount of money I would have to raise that would go up exponentially the higher the office sought. With each donated dollar a little piece of my soul, character and integrity must ultimately be exchanged. Why else do people donate if they don’t expect something in return? Might that something somehow dilute whatever virtues I am perceived to possess? What I have just described are major reasons why people who might be smart and capable enough to run for office decline the

“honor.” Who looks forward to having one’s sins exposed by the media and gloating Cal o p p o n e n t s Thomas who seek to destroy a Columnist fellow candidate, rather than beat him (or her) on the field of ideas? If I were to run I would issue a press release on every sin I can remember having committed, because for the media and the other party (and sometimes with candidates in one’s own party) it isn’t about what one has done, as much as what one is hiding. Looking at today’s remaining field of presidential candidates reminds me of a quote from John F. Kennedy when he ran for president in 1960 against the legacy of the EisenhowerNixon administration. “We can do better,” said JFK. We certainly can, but the signs oﬀer little reason for optimism. On one side in this presidential contest we have a

tired old warhorse, Hillary Clinton, whose chief qualifications for oﬃce appear to be her gender and a sense of entitlement after sticking with her adulterous husband. She has no real accomplishments to which she can point. The other Democratic candidate is an even older dinosaur who metaphorically wants to change America’s initials from USA to ATM, with free stuﬀ for all, paid for by taxing “millionaires and billionaires.” Millennials, who apparently have no clue about economics, drink the red Kool-Aid like members of a cult. On the Republican side there is Donald Trump. Polls show Trump has unified much of America like few other politicians. Unfortunately for him, most are unified in opposition. There is Sen. Ted Cruz, who might save the GOP from Trump, but who needs to work on his own likeability. Ohio Governor John Kasich remains in the race for reasons known only to himself. Kasich is proving the cynicism of baseball coach

Leo Durocher’s line, “nice guys finish last.” There must be a better way to nominate and elect a president. The Constitution provides little guidance. There is nothing in it about parties, conventions, or length of campaigns. Why must we endure nonstop politicking? As soon as one election ends, people start positioning themselves for the next one. Much of this is due to the voracious media, especially cable news. This fixation on politicians as saviors doesn’t benefit the country. Can academia, or think tanks, put together a plan which points to a better way to get good people in oﬃce at lower cost and less time commitment? Would politicians of both parties accept it? It is obscene that it takes $1 billion to run for president today. We can do better, but will we? We had better, or face the likelihood of even worse political choices in the future. (Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@ tribpub.com.)

Jim Crow days are here again Jim Crow days are here again, in Mississippi, this time segregating gays and lesbians from fine, Godand-diversity-fearing citizens. But this latest mossback move to keep business at bay and our poor image intact might not stand. Why? Because some employers with big payrolls don’t like it. To paraphrase the Bible, a little car company will lead them. Not so little, because Nissan employs 6,000 people in Mississippi, and the company says it opposes any law that discriminates. This one does. Also on record as opponents are Ingalls shipyard and MGM with its big state casinos. So if the governor of the Great State of Mississippi, as expected, signs into law something called the “Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act,” an unconstitutional and thinly veiled slap in the face and freedom of the gay community, there might be huge economic repercussions.

The Georgia governor vetoed a similar eﬀort by yahoos in that state’s legislature after Hollywood threatened to rule out that state as the setting for money-generating movie shoots. Businesses in North Carolina are urging repeal of a law limiting transgender bathroom options in government buildings. Mississippi isn’t paying any mind to the missteps of others. Why learn from the mistakes of others when you can make your own? I was expecting out-ofstate visitors one day last week and felt like hiding the local newspaper. Here were the headlines: “Coast religious leaders split on armed guards in

places of worship” “Judge blocks ban on adoption by same-sex couples” “Coast clerks say they’ll issue licenses to gay couples despite bill” (The aforementioned “Protecting Freedom of Conscience ...) And that was just the front page. How long, Mississippi, how long? The Mississippi Legislature manages to keep itself and the courts busy, doing things you might expect in a state that has both the highest potential and lowest success rate in almost any category you could name. Please, you’re saying, give me an example of that ignored Mississippi potential. OK, here’s one. With the highest percentage of African-Americans in the country except for the District of Columbia, Mississippi could, if it would, become a beacon of how to coexist in an increasingly diversified United States. Already we have more black elected oﬃcials and have dug out of a deeper hole than any other state when it

comes to race relations. Instead, the legislature spends its time figuring out how to alienate and discriminate against another minority, eclipsing any forward motion we’ve made. Mississippi arguably produced the nation’s best novelist, William Faulkner, its best short story writer, Eudora Welty, its best playwright, Tennessee Williams, and a host of other writers and musicians. Yet we compete with Alabama to be tops in underfunding public education and throwing stumbling blocks in front of all the arts. With our abundance of churches – I’m guessing more per capita than any other state – we should have plenty of potential for teaching lessons of love for all of mankind. But, no, not happening, because we’re too busy figuring out how to arm a deacon.

You’ve had some great expansions in recent years.” But, he said, it’s about the future. “My question is: What do you want Corinth and Alcorn County to look like in the future? You’re taking that on right now,” said McCullough. Workforce Development Task Force Chairman Ronnie Sleeper said 2015 was a year of shifting strategies for workforce development. “We began by placing area professionals in the classrooms of our schools to share with students what they need to do to prepare themselves for the future,” he said. “This speaker’s bureau covers topics that range from how to apply for a job to what skills students need to improve to be a part of an advanced workforce. By taking the message of workforce development directly to the students in their learning environment, we hope to at least pique their interest in thinking about their future.” The eﬀort also educated teachers about exactly what local industries do and what their employees must be able to do to succeed. “In 2016, we plan to expand these programs to develop a culture of workforce development in Alcorn County,” said Sleeper.

Other task forces address infrastructure, long-term planning, education, dropout prevention, Excel by 5 and strengthening families. The commission launched in 2010 as a project of Corinth-Alcorn Reaching for Excellence. “The steering committee and a large number of individuals here in this community have done a great deal since that time to bring about educational enhancements, improvements in terms of infrastructure, and also just looking at what we can do to improve the lives and community values we have here in

Pathology. He then moved his family back to Corinth to become director of laboratories at Magnolia Regional Health Center and the Tishomingo County Hospital in Iuka. His youngest son was born in 1973. In 1975, Welch began his private practice in family medicine through which he lovingly and unselfishly served the community of North Mississippi until 2015, at which time he continued to work as the medical director for five local programs including the hospice program for Magnolia Regional Health Center, Whitfield Nursing Home, Alcorn County Regional Correctional Facility and Alcorn County Jail and Region IV Crisis Center. His faith was very important to him, and he used every opportunity to tell others of his love for Jesus Christ. He was a member of First Baptist Church and, over the years, made trips to Guatemala for medical mission trips where he was able to combine his love for

Christ and his love of speaking the Spanish language. His hobbies included reading, boating, driving fast cars and flying his airplanes. He was a past member of the foundation board of directors of Hinds Community College where he was named the 2007 Alumnus of the Year. His passion for education and helping others led him to help countless healthcare students achieve their dreams. He loved his family and was never in their presence without telling them that “no matter whenever you go and whatever you do, remember that your Big Daddy loves you.” The only thing that could come remotely close to his love of family and his faith in God was his love of practicing medicine. Welch was quoted many times as saying, “I will retire when the undertaker comes to get me,” and that is exactly what happened on Sunday.

ESSAY

House OKs smaller tax cut as some seek road money Reeves’ top priorities. House Speaker Philip Gunn said he’d still like to combine cuts with some way to generate more revenue for state roads and bridges. But it’s not clear whether lawmakers could insert language into a relatively limited bill to accomplish all their aims under legislative rules. And Tuesday’s disjointed debate again exposed cross-currents ripping apart eﬀorts to create a grand bargain to cut some taxes while raising others to pay for road and bridge improvements. The House’s main eﬀort to do that collapsed last week when many Republicans demanded more cuts to the Mississippi Department of Transportation to fill what department leaders say is a need for more than $500 million each year.

Associated Press

JACKSON — House members passed a pared-down tax cut Tuesday, even as the chamber’s leaders indicated they were still grasping for a way to package tax reductions with increases in transportation funding. The House voted 7642 to pass an amended version of Senate Bill 2858. It now calls for cutting $143 million in personal income taxes beginning Jan. 1, raising the threshold for paying state income taxes to $10,000. Anyone making that much would get a $150 tax cut. The measure moves back to the Senate, where the original measure calling for $575 million in corporate franchise, income tax and self-employment tax cuts has been one of Republican Lt. Gov. Tate

Roberts believes students can benefit in a number of areas after being introduced to genealogy. “Genealogy makes for good enrichment in the classroom,” she said. “There is a lot of organization and critical thinking involved.” Roberts urges those interested in genealogy to not put oﬀ getting started. “The number regret for people is they didn’t start sooner,” she said. “By introducing people at a younger age it encourages them to ask those questions before it’s too late.” The Alcorn County Genealogical Society Library is located on the southeast corner ground floor of the Alcorn County Courthouse and is open Tuesday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Across the Nation Associated Press

GOP seeks to win over conservatives WASHINGTON â€” Trying to win over conservatives, House Republicans are sweetening their budget proposal by putting several programs on the chopping block, including President Barack Obamaâ€™s health care law and tax credits for children of immigrants living in the country illegally. But cuts to programs like food stamps are on hold and a drive to cap medical malpractice awards has faltered before a GOP-controlled committee, though cuts to Medicaid and a popular program that provides health coverage to children have advanced through a panel responsible for federal health programs. Still, it may not be enough. And if the partyâ€™s broader budget plan sinks, the effort may fade. The strategy behind the work is to increase support for the budget, a nonbinding measure that sets a more than $1.1 trillion overall cap next fiscal year for the operating budgets of federal agencies. Beyond the appropriations cap, the measure calls for sweeping spending cuts to benefit programs like Medicaid, the health care law, and food stamps. So far, the idea of the so-called â€œsidecarâ€? spending cuts hasnâ€™t swayed conservatives opposing the broader budget outline over its endorsement of last yearâ€™s bipartisan budget pact between Obama and the GOP-controlled Congress. Â

Mexico Ford factory to bring 2,800 jobs DETROIT â€” Ford Motor Co. plans to build a new $1.6 billion auto assembly plant in Mexico, creating about 2,800 jobs and shifting small-car production from the U.S. at a time when moving jobs south of the border has become a major issue in the U.S. presidential campaign. The company announced the plant in the San Luis Potosi state Tuesday without saying specifically what cars it will build there.

But the United Auto Workers union has said Ford plans to shift production of the Focus compact and C-Max small gas-electric hybrid from suburban Detroit to Mexico, where the cars can be made at lower cost and more profitably. The UAWâ€™s new fouryear contract with Ford, signed last year, guarantees new vehicles for the Wayne, Michigan, assembly plant and a $700 million investment that preserves the plantâ€™s 3,924 jobs. Union members have said they expect the factory to get a new version of the Ranger small pickup and a new small SUV called the Bronco. The announcement came on the day of the key Wisconsin primary and drew a strong response from Republican front-runner Donald Trump, who called Fordâ€™s move â€œan absolute disgrace.â€? Â

Hospitals hacked despite warnings WASHINGTON â€” The hackers who seriously disrupted operations at a large hospital chain recently and held some data hostage broke into a computer server left vulnerable despite urgent public warnings since at least 2007 that it needed to be fixed with a simple update, The Associated Press has learned. The hackers exploited design flaws that had persisted on the MedStar Health Inc. network, according to a person familiar with the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity because this person was not authorized to discuss the findings publicly. The flaws were in a JBoss application server supported by Red Hat Inc. and other organizations, the person said. The FBI, which is investigating, declined to discuss how the hackers broke in. The JBoss technology is popular because it allows programmers to write custom-built software tools that can be quickly made available across a company, but security researchers discovered it was routinely misconfigured to allow unauthorized

outside users to gain control. The U.S. government, Red Hat and others issued urgent warnings about the security problem and a related flaw in February 2007, March 2010 and again earlier this week. Â

Alabama lawmaker: Impeach governor MONTGOMERY, Ala. â€” A Republican Alabama lawmaker said Tuesday that he is filing an impeachment resolution against GOP Gov. Robert Bentley in the wake of a scandal involving one of the governorâ€™s top aides, who has since resigned. The resolution by Rep. Ed Henry of Hartselle will likely be sent to the House Rules Committee for consideration, and itâ€™s not clear if it will have enough support to move forward. Some lawmakers have said impeachment discussions are premature until investigations into Bentleyâ€™s conduct have been done. â€œWe are looking at this governor who has essentially betrayed the trust of the people of Alabama through actions and lies that have caused us to have some doubt about his leadership,â€? Henry said during a press conference. Bentley lashed out at the effort, saying he would vigorously defend himself. â€œTodayâ€™s press conference is nothing more than political grandstanding intended to grab headlines and take the focus away from the important issues the Legislature still has to address before the end of the session,â€? Bentley said in a statement .

Vermont: No official travel to Mississippi MONTPELIER, Vt. â€” The state of Vermont is banning for now official travel to Mississippi because of that stateâ€™s passage of a law that allows religious groups and some private businesses to refuse service to gay couples. In a Tuesday message to top state officials Vermont Administration Secretary Justin Johnson said the action was a response to Mississippiâ€™s new law. Earlier Tuesday Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin invited PayPal to bring 400 jobs to Vermont after the company said it was backing out of a move to North Carolina because of a new law in that state that restricts protections for lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender people. Last week Shumlin banned all non-essential state travel to North Carolina to protest the law. Â

Guns in church bill sent to Gov. Bryant JACKSON â€” Churches could let some members carry guns inside to protect the congregation under a bill heading to Gov. Phil Bryant. House Bill 786 would allow places of worship to designate members to undergo firearms training and carry guns to protect the congregation. The bill would also allow people to carry guns in holsters without a concealed weapons permit. The House voted 8535 Tuesday to send the bill to Bryant for final approval or a veto. Rep. Andy Gipson of Braxton says he

authored the bill in response to the church shooting in Charleston, South Carolina. He says the bill gives small churches and other houses of worship an extra option for security. Â

Ride-hailing service regulations approved JACKSON â€” Mississippi will regulate Uber, Lyft and other ride-hailing services on a statewide basis. Gov. Phil Bryant signed House Bill 1381 Monday, which puts the state Insurance Department in charge of overseeing the services. Cities have traditionally regulated taxi services in Mississippi. The law requires each company to pay a $5,000 yearly license fee. It requires the driver or the company to have insurance covering the transportation of passengers. While carrying passengers, the driver would have to be insured for up to $1 million. Â

City ousts tourism chief, entire board NATCHEZ â€” Natchez aldermen have voted to remove the cityâ€™s tourism director and seek the resignations from each member of the Natchez Convention Promotion Commission. The Natchez Democrat reported that the move comes less than two months after a Feb. 12

incident between director Kevin Kirby and one of his employees. The newspaper reported that dispute ultimately kicked off an investigation into the Convention and Visitors Bureauâ€™s finances, Kirbyâ€™s job performance and, at times, a power struggle between the convention promotion commission and the mayor and board of aldermen. The vote to end Kirbyâ€™s employment occurred after an hour-long closeddoor session Monday. Â

Safe room opened for severe weather HATTIESBURG â€” Forrest County emergency management officials have instituted a safe room to provide temporary shelter for residents during periods of severe weather. During Mondayâ€™s meeting of the Board of Supervisors, Emergency Management Agency director Glen Moore discussed with the board the particulars of the safe room located near the Forrest County MultiPurpose Center. The Hattiesburg American reported that the room will be open during tornado watches or severe thunderstorm watches, and will be available for the duration of the watch period. When possible, the Safe Room will be staffed by two employees and a paid firefighter.

Today

Eye on the Fed The minutes of a Federal Reserve meeting may provide insight into policymakers’ stance on interest rates. At the two-day meeting last month, Fed policymakers left the central bank’s key interest rate unchanged after having raised it from a record low in December. Fed officials also scaled back their expectations for the number of rate hikes this year from four to two. The Fed meeting minutes are due out today.

The report by Mark Egan of the University of Minnesota and Amit Seru and Gregor Matvos of the University of Chicago finds evidence that rogue advisers pay a price. More than half lose their jobs, and consumers collect a median $40,000 when firms settle misconduct cases.
