Barbour won’t call lawmakers for tuition session

The Commercial Dispatch, 5/23/7

The governor said he doesn’t plan to summon the Legislature back into session as requested by two House leaders. They want to use an overflow of state revenues to offset the need to dig deeper into students’ pockets.

?We should not be trying to fund state government on the backs of these students, who are so desperately seeking a college education,? state Reps. Steve Holland, D-Plantersville, and George Flaggs, D-Vicksburg, said in a joint statement they issued Tuesday.
