Bryant, senators get head start

The Clarion-Ledger, 1/3/8

The 2008 session doesn’t begin until Tuesday, but Mississippi senators will get a jump on forming and debating legislation the chamber could pass this year.

Democrats and Republicans, veterans and freshmen, are expected to gather this morning in Jackson for a two-day policy summit hosted by Phil Bryant.

The incoming lieutenant governor will be laying out his priorities in six key areas. Then in breakout sessions, lawmakers and community leaders will build upon them.
