I wish the Gov. would quit calling special sessions and force our legislature to do what they agreed to do when they ran for office in the time allotted them. The elected officials of our state for the most part want to do the job right but some of them are just greedy and want to ride the state for every penny they can get no matter the caost to their neighbor. I wish I could fire the entire bunch and replace them with people that really had the best interest of all Mississippians at heart and not just the special interest groups. if they really wanted to do something to help our state financially put the people on welfare to work for the foodstamps and checks they are getting for doing nothing they could pick up litter or do some type of community service for the help they are getting instead of riding the working man and woman into the ground.why are they entitled to a free ride while the rest of us work. Haley Barbour Stand Up For Mississpi and don't call another special session!!!!
