On Tuesday it all starts anew for government
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 1/6/8 The new Legislature comes to town this week, facing a lot of the same ol’ problems.

Scruggs Nation, Day 41 Scruggs is already contesting Magistrate Judge Walker’s ruling in the McIntosh case that State Farm can depose him on January 15. I would expect he’s going to fight the trial subpoena even more strongly, probably on grounds that his testimony wouldn’t be relevant to the issues to be tried. Because he’s…

McCoy merits re-election The speakership of the House is a powerful political position statewide, and it requires a breadth and depth of experience, plus knowledge of paramount issues, for effective management.
