The Mississippi House of Representatives will be convening today at 2 p.m. to discuss a bill that would remove the current Mississippi state flag and allow voters to vote on options for a new flag during the November general election.
Yesterday, the House and Senate passed a resolution to suspend the rules and consider this bill. Reps. Randy Rushing (R-Decatur) and Troy Smith (R-Enterprise), who represent Newton County, voted no on the bill. Sen. Tyler McCaughn also voted no while submitting a dual vote. He voted no, but the other senator he submitted a vote for said "yea."
