JACKSON ⢠Mississippi lawmakers advanced legislation this week that would make it easier to find out who is donating campaign money to your mayor or county supervisor.
House Bill 718 would let the public search online for the campaign finance reports of local elected officials and candidates. As it stands now, those reports must be requested in-person from the county or city clerk, who may charge a fee to make copies.

The bill unanimously passed the House on Thursday with little discussion. It now heads to the Senate.

The promise was the same one that elected Warren Harding 100 years ago — the promise of a “return to normalcy” after an exhausting four years. We’re a long way from normalcy. It’s not all Joe Biden’s fault. Giving an inaugural speech to a tiny crowd of people who are masked and socially distanced is not normal. Giving it in a version of Washington, D.C., that looks like it is dug in for an imminent invasion by the British is not normal. It’s not normal that the first months of a ne
