Never in doubt that Anderson was gone
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/18/7 There were probably 114,000 reasons motivating Shirlene Anderson to come to work every day. Her annual salary had to be the impetus. Otherwise, why would she take the humiliation, the micro-management, the disrespect from a man who called himself a friend? Her term as Jackson’s police chief mercifully came to an…

The Hattiesburg American, 11/17/7 Investments can be a roll of the dice. Playing the stock market is certainly no guarantee of ultimate financial security. Hoping for instant wealth by purchasing lottery tickets or gambling at a casino is a long shot fraught with risks. But the latest investment idea proposed by Mississippi Treasurer Tate Reeves…

Big money has created lazy state politics
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/18/7 The big money involved in modern politics is universally condemned – by good government groups, the media and even candidates themselves.

Cochran’s desire to stay in Senate is welcome news for Mississippi
The Sun Herald, 11/18/7 Considering the accolades that greeted Thad Cochran’s announcement that he will seek a sixth term in the Senate, you would think he could be re-elected by acclamation. “The campaign was over the minute he said he was going to run,” said political analyst Marty Wiseman, director of the Stennis Institute of…

Legislature: Balance will be the key
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/18/7 To navigate uncertain budget waters, continue the ongoing recovery from Hurricane Katrina and make progress on health and social issues, a strong sense of balance will be required in state government.

Don’t look for Barbour’s ‘cutting taxes’ plan to favor citizens
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/16/7 His victory, Haley Barbour tells us, was a “big conservative mandate.” But is that what Mississippi needs? Conservatism we’ve had for a half century and where has it gotten us? Last place in almost every index. Barbour’s idea of “conservative” is scary, judging by remarks and actions he took in his…
