JACKSON An evaluation of
school performance finds that Mississippis academic achievement
gains have outstripped gains nationwide from 2003 to 2015, but gives
the states public schools a D overall, ranking them second-to-last.
The evaluation by Education
Weeks Quality Counts report
moved Mississippi up a notch from
last year, when it ranked 51st among
the states and Washington, D.C.
This year, Nevada ranked at the bottom, a little below Mississippi. The
states overall grade remained the
same, below the national average of
a C.
Its a little better in some ways,
said state Superintendent Carey
Wright. We werent at the bottom,
you can say. We were one up off the
bottom.
Despite gains on the most recent
version of the National Assessment
of Educational Progress, Mississippi still ranks last for academic
from a D-plus to a
C-minus. The state
was dragged down by
its low income and existing educational levels, which Education
Week judged to be a
handicap for students Wright
and evidence of poor
outcomes for adults.
Mississippi ranked 40th in measures of how much its spending
and how evenly spending is spread
among rich and poor districts, getting a D-plus. The state spends 3.6
percent of its taxable resources,
about the national average, on education, but because Mississippi is
poor, that comes out to spending
that is significantly below average,
even once regional cost differences
are canceled out. Property-rich districts spend more on students than
property-poor districts, although
Education Week rated spending less
unequal across districts in Mississippi than in most other places.

If you dont read The Dispatch, how are you gonna know?
MONTGOMERY, Ala. Alabama on Thursday became the second state to sue the U.S. government over refugee resettlement, accusing the
Obama administration of failing to consult with
states on placement of those who have fled their
home countries.
The lawsuit was filed Thursday in federal court
in Birmingham, said Jennifer Ardis, spokeswoman
for Republican Gov. Robert Bentley.
Bentley is one of several governors largely
Republicans who opposed the settlement of Syrian refugees in their states after the Nov. 13 attacks
in Paris. The lawsuit does not specifically address
refugees from Syria. But it follows the lead of Texas, which sued using similar arguments last month
to try to block six Syrian refugees from settling in
Dallas.
The Alabama lawsuit filed in federal court in
Birmingham argues that the federal government
hasnt followed a portion of the Refugee Act of 1980
that says the federal government shall consult regularly with states on placement. The lawsuit says
Alabama has not gotten information it needs to assess security concerns and plan for requests for social services.
We are the one who secure the people of this
state and protect the people of this state. We need
to have the information on refugees as they come in
to allow us to do that, Bentley told The Associated
Press, adding that federal officials are disregarding
states rights.
The lawsuit asks a judge to require the federal
government to provide the entire government file
on refugees including medical information and
the basis to support Medicaid eligibility who
have been or will be settled in Alabama and to block
any future settlement until that information is given.
The federal government controls resettlement
programs, and experts have said states have no authority to bar refugees from moving to their jurisdictions.

GUN LEGISLATION
TIFs, hand-out
or a legitimate
development tool?
Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) is a
catchy name for a government give away in
the form of a tax break.
Its an inducement used
to attract new business
or a development that
might not otherwise
happen, a way to prime
the pump, if you will.
There are times
Lynn Spruill
when it is a perfectly
appropriate funding
mechanism, and there are times when it isnt. Like
anything else, TIFs can be abused, but armed with
information, diligence and a plan they can be a
true economic development tool worthy of consideration.
Starkville is considering a TIF as a means of
enticing Academy Sports, a big-box sporting goods
store, into the city for a project that reportedly
cant make the numbers work without public funding assistance.
Starkville has three TIFs in place that seem
to be serving the purposes for which they were
intended. The first TIF Starkville offered is at the
corner of Louisville Street and Highway 12. It was
an embarrassingly blighted shopping center that
had become an eyesore on a prominent corner of
our main thoroughfare.
It now houses, among other things, restaurants
and clothing stores and a fitness center and is a
strong contributing member of the community. By
every measure, that TIF has been a success and is
doing what was intended.
Another is the reincarnation of the old Cotton
Mill area. It, too, seems to be fulfilling its intended consequences judging by the quantity of new
development occurring along Russell Street.
Much of that area had been promising development, but it never materialized and probably
wouldnt have had the Cotton Mill project not come
along. It doesnt hurt that MSU alumni are getting
on board for a winning ride with the recent athletic
successes.
The third TIF is a new car dealership. Starkville
hasnt had a new car dealership since Templeton
Motors closed its doors. That is a retailing TIF that
should pay all the dividends necessary to justify
itself.
From its roots in California to its acceptance
in Mississippi in 1986, the TIF has been used
and abused in all 50 states. TIFs were originally
intended to push redevelopment in blighted areas
or to help development for areas that were not able
to entice projects into their communities by virtue
of their natural assets.
The question for this board is if this particular
request for development funding makes enough
sense to insure it with taxpayer dollars. Each
project should be considered on its own merits.
Does it bring new money to a community, or are
you robbing Peter to pay Paul, just moving money
around without generating new retailing options?
If you simply look at the basic elements of a TIF,
there is minimal downside. If the new development
doesnt yield more in sales and ad valorem taxes
than the land pre-development then the city is out
no money; the new developer continues to pay the
existing ad valorem taxes.
The incremental/new taxes are what is paid
back to the developer in full or in part to reimburse
for allowable development expenses. By that standard, a TIF is fundamentally a win-win proposition.
So what is the real problem? Well, in a couple of
words, human nature.
It takes at minimum two years for a TIF project
to develop and then to start showing measurable
results. Unless the mayor and aldermen have
set aside the obligated funds from the additional
revenue they receive, then when the bills come
due they have spent it on pay raises and additional
personnel and board travel and in Starkvilles case,
all of the above.
So when Link CEO Joe Max Higgins presented
the TIF proposal to the Starkville Board of Aldermen recently, he got push-back from the mayor,
who outlined what the citys current TIF obligations are and what that potentially means.
It appeared to be a logical and reasonable presentation offering a compromised TIF plan based
on what the city can afford.
What is inappropriate is that the players in this
economic development game are at a public standoff.
Contrary to appearances, The Link works for
the city and not the developer. That being said it
is Joe Maxs job to make it work if it makes fiscal
sense for Starkville. However, it is Starkvilles
fault if they are living beyond their means and the
upcoming fiscal obligations are forcing them to say
no to a worthy project.
The parties appear to have failed to communicate adequately and whether true or false that
makes both sides look incompetent and at odds
when viewed in the public eye. In the end, if we
cant play nicely in this sandbox together, then
maybe it is time to re-evaluate the reason for the
relationship.

FAIRFAX, Va.
President
Barack Obama mocked conspiracy
theorists and tore into the National
Rifle Association for pushing imaginary fiction, as he described his
plans to tighten gun control rules
as modest first steps toward tackling gun violence in America.
In a prime-time, televised town
hall meeting Thursday, Obama
fielded tough questions from
high-profile gun control opponents
and supporters alike, often answering with sympathy and without confrontation as he tried to reassure
Americans there is a middle ground
on a fiercely divisive issue.
But Obama didnt hold back
when asked by CNN moderator
Anderson Cooper about the notion
that the federal government
and Obama in particular wants
to seize all firearms as a precursor to imposing martial law. He
blamed that notion on the NRA and
like-minded groups that convince
its members that somebodys going to come grab your guns.
Yes, that is a conspiracy,
President Barack Obama, left, speaks during a CNN televised town hall
meeting hosted by Anderson Cooper, right, at George Mason University in
Fairfax, Va., Thursday.

Reports: Super Bowl
champion Buckley
will join MSUs staff
BY BEN WAIT

STARKVILLE The
Mississippi State football
team is beginning to fill
the coaching vacancies on
its staff.
Scout.com
reported
T hursday
that Louisville cornerbacks coach
Te r r e l l
Buckley
will take the
same job at
Savage
MSU. MSU
hasnt confirmed the
report. Earlier in the
day, coach
Dan Mullen
a nnounced
the promotion of Nick
Buckley
Savage to
head strength coach.
Buckley replaces Tony
Hughes, who left the
program to become the
new head football coach
at Jackson State. Savage
takes over for Rick Court,
who left for Maryland after two seasons at MSU.
Buckley spent the last
two seasons at Louisville.
Prior to that, he spent two
seasons as cornerbacks
coach at Akron.
The Pascagoula native
played 14 seasons in the
NFL and won Super Bowl
XXXVI with the New England Patriots. If Buckley
joins the staff, MSU will
have three Super Bowl
rings. Cornerbacks coach
Deshea Townsend won
two with the Pittsburgh
Steelers. Buckley made
the move to college coaching at his alma mater, Florida State, as a graduate assistant in 2007. He spent
five seasons with the Seminoles.
Hughes also served as
MSUs recruiting coordinator, but its unknown if
Buckley will hold that role.
Savage served as the
assistant strength coach
the past two seasons. He
served as the interim
strength coach after Court
left in December.
Nick has played a vital
role in the development of
our players since his arrival, Mullen said in a statement. He understands
what it takes to train at a
championship level from
the weight room to nutrition. He brings an infectious personality, energy
and a purpose to our facility every day. Our players
respect him and will continue to develop.
The 26-year old interned at Bowling Green
from January 2013-May
2013 and Ohio State from
May 2013-January 2014.
He served as a graduate

MSU (15-1, 2-0 SEC) won its
10th-straight game thanks largely
to an 18-5 second quarter in which
it attacked with sophomore point
guard Morgan William (seven
points) and junior point forward
Dominique Dillingham (seven
points, four rebounds, two assists
in 40 minutes). Dillingham also
had defensive duty against junior
guard Brandy Montgomery, the
SECs leading scorer coming in at
18.4 points per game. Montgomery was 4 of 14 from the field and
had a team-high 15 points.
A 14-1 run in the second
quarter propelled the Bulldogs.
William provided the acrobatics
with a driving hook shot in which
she absorbed contact and made

TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Jan.
8). The spiritual growth spurt
starts now. Maybe it wont
be so comfortable, but youll
love the transformation. At
work youll sharpen your skills
and start to think bigger. You
may change your answer to
some moral, ethical and social
questions based on the new
experiences and influences of
the year. Sagittarius and Leo
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 26, 15, 20, 38 and 41.

Your style will set you apart,
even though you are probably
so immersed in it that you dont
even realize what your style
is. Relax and know youre effective without trying.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Youll get your aha! moment,
but not today. Keep doing what
youre doing. This is about the
grunt work that, unfortunately,
must be handled before the
glorious ideas can drop in.
