Summary: <p>We’ve got a new one today – we’ll learn about Urban Governance. What’s that you ask? Then you need to especially listen so you can be an informed citizen. Our guest is Professor Jade Craig <a href="https://law.olemiss.edu/faculty-directory/jade-craig/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://law.olemiss.edu/faculty-directory/jade-craig/</a></p><br><p>Any time you want to “talk to us” just use the MPB Public Media app. When you open the app, select Think Radio. Then go to the Menu and touch “talk to us”. You’ll get a selection of MPB programs and services you can connect with to leave a voice note or an email. We’d love to hear what you’re interested in for a show topic.</p><br><p>I love reminding our listeners that our show is about you and your rights. If you’d like to be part of shaping “your rights” consider running for public office. If you need a suggestion on what that might look like head over to the Mississippi Secretary of State’s website and look at their candidate qualifying forms. <a href="https://www.sos.ms.gov/elections-voting/candidate-qualifying-forms" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.sos.ms.gov/elections-voting/candidate-qualifying-forms</a> </p><br><p>Shaping the state of Mississippi not only takes elected officials but it also takes government employees. In addition to the satisfaction of helping your neighbor, working for the state probably means you are covered by PERS – the Public Employees’ Retirement System of Mississippi.
