With less than three months before the first voting contests, big questions hang over the front-runners, time is running out for lower tier candidates to make their move and new Democrats are launching improbable last-minute bids for the nomination. But amid the turbu- lence, the White House hopefuls often found themselves fighting on well-trodden terrain, par- ticularly over whether the party should embrace a sweeping “Medicare for All” program or make more modest changes to the current health care system.

ZACK PLAIR, Managing Editor BETH PROFFITT Advertising Director The MICHAEL FLOYD Circulation/Production Manager Opinion Dispatch MARY ANN HARDY Controller Our view Proposals for Kerr-McGee redevelopment begin to emerge For 10 years, residents who live near the site of the former Kerr-McGee site have waited for something to be done at the old creosote plant that has until now, been a symbol of blight and suffering in the heart of the city. Now, as clean-up at one part of the 90-acre site nears completion and the clean-up of the main site is set to commence in about a year, residents are naturally eager to see real progress in redeveloping the area. As Ward 4 councilman Pierre Beard noted, there’s been a lot of talk about redevelopment and people are ready to see that talk turn into action. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the Multistate Trust, the EPA and the design firm that will plan and market the Superfund site, invited residents Mississippi Voices to drop by the Trust’s community resource center on 14th Avenue to see some concepts for redevelopment and offer their preferences, Let innovation happen in Mississippi which will be used to put together a plan.
