Long-awaited Pearl River flood control project moves forward

People don’t set down roots and invest in communities where they feel that they’re at risk,” Jackson Mayor John Horhn said. Pearl Mayor Jake Windham noted that it is typically the poorest residents who are affected most by the flooding. A project that looks to protect the City of Jackson and the surrounding area from flooding by the Pearl River is moving to the next phase.  Elected officials and concerned residents gathered Thursday morning near the Pearl River Bridge along Highway 80 to hear from representatives of the Pearl River Revitalization Coalition. The coalition is comprised of various private and public institutions and organizations focused on flood protection in the central Mississippi region. The group announced that Secretary Adam Telle, the head of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has selected a project design that will bring long-awaited flood control and community benefits to Mississippi’s Capital Region.

Hillary Clinton says she answered every question on Epstein and decries GOP for keeping deposition private

 


Chappaqua, New York — 

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton defiantly faced lawmakers Thursday who sought to question her about her family’s past ties to Jeffrey Epstein, insisting that she had no information about the late convicted sex offender’s criminal activities and blasting Republicans for conducting the interview in private.

Emerging after six-and-a-half hours with House Oversight Committee lawmakers behind closed doors, Clinton said she had “answered every one of their questions as fully as I could based on what I knew.” She stressed she had never met Epstein nor had communications with him.

“I don’t know how many times I had to say, ‘I did not know Jeffrey Epstein,’” she told reporters.
