Lawmakers Return Home: Still Work to Be Done
The state fiscal year started Wednesday in Mississippi. Lawmakers approved most of the $6 billion dollar budget before the midnight deadline, but there is still some unfinished business.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Term limits. We should petition for a constitutional amendment to impose limits on how long these snakes can serve. Of course, I'm not dumb enough to believe that it will happen so let's just take care of it for them. Vote them all out. All of them. Especially that weasel Barbour. He's the biggest idiot of them all.

Lets not forget the Tea Party in Dumont Plaza. Signs are posted all around the community. Much work is needed by our lawmakers to see that we are mot taxed to death by the current administration.

I just wish our elected officials would do the job they were elected to do in the time allotted and quitwasting tax payers money by having a special session called everytime. They never get the job done like they agree when they took the job. The Gov. needs to quit calling a special session and let the chips fall where they fall and let the voters know who was at fault for the elected lawmakers not getting the job done taht way the voters could fire the culprits by NOT re electing them. If it was a private sector JOB the offenders would be fired ASAP. also state vehicles should be required to obey the law just like everyone else it is a state law slower moving vehicles travel in right lane but the state owned vehicles and employees think that doesn't apply to them. I hope someone will read this and agree with me and maybe we can make a difference in the way our Gov. is run.
