Freshman state Sen. Eric Powell learned two days after his swearing-in last week that he had been fired from his regular job.
Powell, D-Corinth, said his firing from Packaging Corp. of America in Counce, Tenn., on Thursday came as a result of his election as a state senator in Mississippi. Lawmakers will be in session about four months this year and three months in each of the remaining three years of this term. The governor also could call them back to the Capitol for special sessions.
