PENDER – Medicaid crisis isn’t about health, it’s about politics

AGNEW – Federal case may prove hard to beat
Federal case may prove hard to beat As an investigatory agency, they don’t get more thorough than the FBI and Melton knows it.

ZIEMBA – Why Scruggs matters to you
Why Scruggs matters to you Poking fun of politically connected fat cats is easy, but what do Dickie Scruggs’ crimes have to do with you? Plenty.
