(FOX40.COM) — California has a number of official state symbols including a state flower, a state bird, two state fish and now a state bat.Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 732, which was introduced by California Senator Caroline Menjivar, into law last week officially making pallid bats the official bat of the state of California. “By naming the Pallid as state bat, Californians can become more knowledgeable on our diverse ecosystems and wildlife while increasing respect for the many benefits bats provide for our state,” said Menjivar.

What’s changed — and what hasn’t — a year after Mississippi capital’s water crisis?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:22:40 GMT

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Water is flowing again to nearly all of Mississippi’s capital city. It’s a stark contrast from a year ago, when Jackson’s 150,000 residents could never be sure what, if anything, would flow from their taps when they needed a drink, a shower or to flush the toilet. The majority-Black city also faced occasional warnings that their water could be contaminated and needed to be boiled, and people had to wait in line to get fresh water. The turnaround has been shepherded by Ted Henifin, a seasoned utility manager appointed last year as interim head of the long-troubled water system. He’s faced pushback from some residents over lingering water quality concerns, legal hurdles to his plan to ensure low income people don’t pay more for water, and has expanded his purview to include fixing the sewer system.In an interview with The Associated Press last week, he offered an insider’s look at the latest chapter in a saga that blends elements of racial disparity, crumbl...

As the Celtics’ lead started slipping away in the third quarter, frustration began to boil on their bench.For Joe Mazzulla, this wasn’t simply a preseason game.

But it wasn’t perfect, and It proved to be a necessary tune-up as th...
