KEMPER – THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS THE BEST ANSWER On June 21, 2017, the PSC asserted control of the Kemper IGCC plant.

BIGGERPIE – The Morganza Spillway and the Maginot Line
The Morganza Spillway and the Maginot Line The French built the Maginot Line of forts and fortifications after World War I. It was supposed to keep the Germans out of France. It didn’t. The Germans quickly went around it and took France again in WW II. A Maginot Line is now a metaphor for a…

Bigger Pie Forum: PERS clearly in trouble; state has spending problem, not revenue problem
A Bigger Pie View – Mississippi’s Credit Rating Credit ratings firm Standard & Poor’s gave Mississippi policymakers a warning last Tuesday that the state’s credit rating, which determines how much taxpayers will have to pay in order to borrow money, is in danger of a downgrade. S&P said that the declining position of Mississippi’s defined-benefit pension system,…

Kelley Williams, Chairman Bigger Pie Forum Op-Ed: Dereliction of Duty
Kelley Williams, Chairman Bigger Pie Forum: DERELICTION OF DUTY H. R. McMaster’s 1997 book, Dereliction of Duty, exposed our feckless losing strategy in the Viet Nam War disaster.

@BiggerPieForum – Trump, #Kemper, and Mississippi Floods
Trump, Kemper, and Mississippi Floods Mississippi Power self destructs. But Kemper has changed the Overton Window for Mississippi Power – and probably other companies too by association. The soon to be $7 billion plant is an experiment too far. It was a tough sale from the start. It took some really clever spin and sleight…

Bigger Pie Forum chair Williams: What if Mississippi politicians got back in flood trading game?
Mississippi Flooding In 1946 the Southern Authors Literary Guild chose "Speeding Floods to the Sea" as the most outstanding book of the fall. Pretty racy stuff. A book about cut offs – on the Mississippi River. The author W.E. Elam lived in Greenville which was known for its writers. He was not a writer though.…

@BIGGERPIEFORUM – A frugal ostrich
A frugal ostrich named Gilbert The Secretary’s job is to receive the fillings and post the information for public use. He does. But the filings are frequently incomplete, late, inaccurate, and essentially unusable as posted. The Secretary could require more detailed, accurate, and timely filings and post them in a searchable digital format. They could…

BIGGERPIE – It’s the monopoly, stupid.
It’s the monopoly, stupid. The main problem with K-12 public school education may not be the lack of funding. It’s more likely the lack of competition. Public schools are government monopolies. Monopolies are protected from competition. They don’t have to innovate to improve to survive. So they don’t. They just get ever more bureaucratic and…

BIGGER PIE – The old quarterback’s resume #Kemper
The old quarterback’s resume Company asks court to muzzle old quarterback. It seems the company doesn’t want the old quarterback to talk about any of this. The Jefferson County, Alabama, Circuit Court recently granted the company’s request for a temporary restraining order to keep him from talking after negotiations over a severance package broke down.…
