South to Face Days of Dangerous Heat and Humidity

South to Face Days of Dangerous Heat and Humidity

A powerful heat dome will keep the southern U.S. dangerously hot through Monday, Aug. 17, with little relief overnight. RealFeel® temperatures could climb toward 115°F, while high humidity increases the risk of heat-related illness. Little Rock, Arkansas, could see highs above 100°F through midweek, with nighttime temperatures potentially staying near 85°F in urban areas. Spotty storms may offer brief relief across the Southeast. By midweek, the heat dome could weaken from Missouri to Virginia, but dangerous heat will persist along the Gulf Coast.

Biloxi Mayor Addresses Budget Shortfall and Proposed Property Tax Increase Amid Inflation

Biloxi Mayor Addresses Budget Shortfall and Proposed Property Tax Increase Amid Inflation

Biloxi Mayor Andrew 'FoFo' Gilich announced that the city's revenues have not kept pace with inflation, leading to a budget gap that requires immediate attention before a mid-September deadline. To address this shortfall, a three-mill property tax increase is scheduled for consideration at an upcoming city council meeting. Mayor Gilich stated that this increase would cost the owner of a $200,000 home approximately $5 per month, or $60 annually. He explained that while the city has previously used unrestricted cash balances to cover such gaps, this approach is no longer sustainable. The city council will have the final authority on whether to implement the proposed tax increase. Additionally, Gilich discussed a state law allowing retired public employees to return to their positions at 80% of their salary after a 30-day waiting period, a policy being utilized by several city employees, including Police Chief DeBack.
