When Anthony Parker was named Hattiesburg's chief of police by then-Mayor Johnny DuPree in June 2015, the department was in turmoil. Now, Parker, who has been in law enforcement for nearly 40 years, will be retiring at the end of the year. "It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as Hattiesburg’s chief of police," Parker said in a news release. "I am grateful to the citizens of this community and for the ability to serve under two great men — Mayor Johnny DuPree and Mayor Toby Barker.

August 13, 2016: Lee County Courier: Kelly names former WTVA reporter as Comm. Director
The phone call from U.S. Rep. Trent Kelly came as a shock to Susan Parker.
“I want you to come to work for me,” Kelly said. “I want you to be my communications director.”
“He said there was a long, silent pause after he said that,” Parker said.
Then, it took about 30 minutes to decide that’s what she wanted to do. After all, she had been an on-camera news reporter at WTVA for 24 years and change was something she figured would be good for her.

Mar 17, 2015: MPB: Mississippi College Board Makes Appeal for Faculty and Staff Raises
In an editorial, Aubrey Patterson, the President of Mississippi's College Board, said it takes excellent faculty and staff to challenge and inspire students. That means offering competitive salaries.

Feb 2, 2023: Mississippi Today: Lawmakers want to keep citations of medical marijuana businesses secret
The decision to keep these reports out of the public eye is at odds with what the Board of Health’s own medical marijuana program committee recently recommended. Head of the committee, Jim Perry, said he hoped the program would post enforcement actions it has taken to its website during a meeting on Jan. 26.
“Other regulatory agencies … they post online when there is an enforcement action,” Perry said at the meeting. “As much as we can, we should err on the side of transparency… because it will tell people what they can learn from the lessons of others.”

The legislation would give parents the ability to get a vaccination exemption for their child based on medical risks or personal beliefs.
