Dog Park Coming to Clinton
A dog park is coming to Clinton. It's an amenity taken for granted in most cities yet somehow Jackson, Brandon, Flowood, Pearl, Richland, Madison, and Ridgeland can't seem to get around to providing one although there is now a small one at the Rez. WJTV reported yesterday:

The Pelahatchie Pugilism Continues

Working to Reduce Recidivism
This sponsored post is provided by Families First.
The red brake lights of vehicles brightly illuminated the road ahead. One after one the vehicles stopped on a normally, well-traveled interstate. The steady flowing pace of traffic abruptly came to a standstill that gradually spanned across miles. The culprit for the crippling traffic, a wreck on the road ahead, created a ripple effect of standstill traffic, causing miles of disruption.

Potholes may be the perfect pets. They don't get old, there are no vet bills, you don't have to let them out, and they don't nag. However, potholes still need love and attention. The picture below shows what happens when you properly care for your pet pothole.

Our Youtube foodies returned to sample some more Jackson cuisine. Enjoy.
Canine Crackdown
Well, it was fun while it lasted. Media attention on dog-friendly restaurants brought the fun to an end. More restaurants were allowing diners to bring their canine companions to their outdoor patios. Unfortunately, catering to the canines is against the law and the State Department of Health is cracking down. WLBT reported two weeks ago:
We Report, You Decide: MDOC FOIA's
MDOC Commissioner Pelecia Hall complained earlier this year that a deluge of public records requests are drowning her agency. She asked the legislature to weaken the public records laws for MDOC as she claimed the agency could not respond to the requests as required by law. JJ filed a public records request for the public records requests submitted since April 1. and posted them below. Read and review for yourself.

MCPP: The Hidden Costs of Medicaid Expansion
Medicaid expansion remains deeply unpopular with Mississippi voters, as recently released polling from Mason-Dixon finds and as Tuesday’s Republican primary results certainly did not dispel.
This is perhaps surprising, given that many people don’t know much about Medicaid. This lack of knowledge has allowed politicians and others to try to sell Medicaid expansion as a cure all for many of Mississippi’s problems. To set the record straight, Medicaid is not a very good parachute for rural hospitals. It’s also not a very good way to boost the state’s economy. Medicaid is not even going to improve health care outcomes for the working poor. Medicaid expansion is going to be far more expensive than anyone predicts. It is also going to squeeze out funding for other priorities, like K-12 education and roads.

Pansies, Jellybacks, & Uncle Toms
Carlos the Clown took his traveling road show to Moss Point yesterday. This Facebook video shows The Clown at his finest in a press conference.
