McCoy awaits ‘proper time’ to discuss political future
JACKSON — Billy McCoy must know. The Rienzi Democrat has to be aware that everything — every move he makes, every sound he utters, literally every action he takes — is being dissected by both supporters and opponents for clues as to whether he will run for re-election in 2011 to his legislative seat and seek a third term as speaker of the Mississippi House.
Sitting behind his desk in his state Capitol office, the 68-year-old Prentiss County farmer provides few hints.
“My plan, just like it has been the last nine times, is at the proper time to make an announcement of what I will do,” he said recently. “I do not want an announcement to figure into the session. We have so many important issues. We should not have every vote cast reflecting on who might be the next speaker.”
