ON-AIR VIDEO: Survivors Pick Up Pieces in Tornado Aftermath

ON-AIR VIDEO: Cigarette Tax Hike Dies
The bill to raise Mississippi's cigarette tax hike dies in a joint committee between House and Senate leaders. Months and months of tax talks reach a dead end...now Mississippi's money crunch is likely to get even worse because of the lack of revenue the tax could bring in. On the other side, opponents fear it wouldn't raise that much more money because it would deter people from smoking. Check out the debate in my latest story...shot just 45 minutes before air Wednesday night. That's called a fast turnaround on a tight deadline.

ON-AIR VIDEO: Small Town Sheriff Dies at 60
Hey all! Here's my latest reporting work. The sheriff of one of our outlying counties died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 60. He had a history of health problems, but the news still came as a shock to folks in the small county. He was in good spirits the day before at work. This place was 2 hours away, so I had to write, log my interview sound and edit all in the laptop in the car on the way back to the station--that's technology at it's best! Check it out!
