Medicaid’s next miracle? Stimulus could provide state up to $790 million provide $520-$72 million
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 3/1/9 While Republican Gov. Haley Barbour and Democratic House Speaker Billy McCoy have sparred philosophically over accepting portions of the $787 billion federal stimulus package for unemployment benefits, there is no disagreement among state Democrats and Republicans over accepting stimulus funds to bail out the state’s struggling Medicaid program. “We’ve been so…

Stanford official is free on bond
The Clarion-Ledger, 2/28/9 An executive of Stanford Financial Group is free on $300,000 bond after a court hearing Friday where she was painted variously as the scapegoat for what regulators call a massive Ponzi scheme and as one of the few who knows where millions of investors’ dollars are hidden.

David Hampton attacks Gov. Barbour on his not wanting to increase unemployment benefits
Barbour just dead wrong to refuse aid Barbour and a group of Southern Republican governors made a show of saying no to the unemployment money, an obvious political slap as President Barack Obama was attempting to lay out the administration’s budget and economic plans.
