- Two months after Hattiesburg Mayor Johnny DuPree ordered the removal of the Mississippi flag from all city buildings, the flag is still down. DuPree's spokesperson said last month there were discussions on when or if the flag would be flown again in the city, however, when asked this week about the status of the flag, she said the mayor had no comment.
- Mayor DuPree said in his June statement that the flag at City Hall "has not been up for several years." However, according to video shot by WDAM last summer, the state flag was flying, and Google Earth shows the state flag at City Hall last spring.
