Getting busy downtown: Jackson: 22 projects, $751 million
The Clarion-Ledger, 12/16/7 In his relatively new role as president of Downtown Jackson Partners, former veteran Jackson city councilman Ben Allen faces some of the same obstacles that confronted him during his years at City Hall. “Ultimately, it’s about getting everyone on the same piece of paper,” said Allen. “It’s about promoting and selling the…

GOP candidates tout ability to beat Clinton
USA Today, 12/16/7 The Republican’s independent streak appeals to a wide range of voters, making him the best GOP choice to battle Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton, he and supporters say.

Women hitting political glass ceiling in Miss.
The Sun Herald, 12/15/7 Mississippi shares the dubious distinction with Iowa of never sending a woman to Congress or electing one as governor – something outgoing Republican Lt. Gov.

FOLO – But why, Dickie?
But why, Dickie? The most fascinating question, the one at the heart of U.S. v. Scruggs, is really psychological rather than legal or financial.
