AP News analysis: Mississippi Politicians rejected, then recycled
When Larry “Butch” Brown was dumped as director of the Mississippi Department of Transportation in February 2011, some thought the outspoken executive might fade from the political scene. After all, he had a tumultuous parting with two of the three transportation commissioners, who didn’t like the way Brown managed the massive agency.
Brown went back to his hometown of Natchez, but he didn’t disappear. Like many people in Mississippi politics, he’s getting a second chance.
After battling cancer in 2011, Brown won the Natchez mayor’s race this past week as a Democrat. It’s a job he held from 1992 to 2000.
