During a visit to Columbus Tuesday, State Auditor Shad White offered further information on his office’s investigation into former city Chief Financial Officer Milton Rawle’s embezzlement of city funds, suggesting the city could hire a forensic accountant to determine how much money was actually taken.

Editorial: Get medical marijuana right
When the Mississippi Supreme Court stirred up a hornetâs nest by scrapping both medical marijuana and the initiative process through which it was legalized, it handed the Legislature two different problems.
One is easy to solve, but there is no rush to do it immediately.
The other is tougher, but there is reason to do it quickly.
Letâs take them one at a time.
Who knows why the Legislature, when it created the initiative process in the 1990s, didnât envision the chance that Mississippi would lose a congressional district one day? But that lack of foresight, according to the Supreme Courtâs majority, should have ended the initiative process 20 years ago when the state went from five congressional districts to four, creating a mathematical impossibility for meeting the signature requirements.
