Mornings with Richard Cross; Guests Ron Counts & Emily Havens 2026-03-06

Mornings with Richard Cross; Guests Marie Sanderson & Dr. Norm Connell 2026-02-26
Q: What did you take away from the State of the Union address?

Q: What are the key priorities for education policy in Mississippi this session?
