I don't know why the Democrat thinks this applies only to MHP. This new law applies to ALL law enforcement.

Mississippi, unfortunately, does not have an 'attempted murder' charge. ANY assault with a weapon is 'aggravated assault' here, whether you hit them with a stick or shoot them with a gun.

Looking at a persons credit to be considered for a job should be made illegal, in my opinion. It seems everything these days is starting to hang on your credit, though more and more people these days are having credit issues due to the economy. Soon, the only people that will be able to get a job are those that don't need it since they've had enough money to pay their bills and those that have been trying their damnedest to get a job to pay those bills will be screwed since their credit has gotten shot because they couldn't find a job.
You have bad credit? Alright, we're going to charge you more for your insurance, charge you higher interest rates on any loan we give you, and, by the way, good luck finding a job to pay all those extra charges.

Screwing people out of their retirement is definitely not a way to bring more qualified health care employees to our only publicly run hospital. They're county employees just like every other person that works for the county. Why should they be discriminated against just because the officials at NRMC couldn't handle their money correctly in the past? I understand they're needing to look at ways to keep afloat, but this isn't something that should be done. At the VERY least, they should 'grandfather' in those that are already vested into the system. If they don't, all your older, more experience, employees are going to leave to seek employment elsewhere so they can finish out their years with PERS.
I respect Spanky for speaking up and stating they should be looking into their own retirement as well if they're looking at doing this to the employess of the hospital.

Which of his other books were set in Natchez? The only one I was aware of was 'The Slient Game', which I found to be a rather interesting read.

People can sign up for the Code Red service from here: http://www.adamscountyms.net/departments...
And all I have to say to this article is it's about time.

Why is AutoZone allowed a billboard-sized sign and Bad Boys is given a hard time about a perfectly reasonable sized sign is the question I have. From what I understand from reading all the articles leading up to this one, no one was 'grandfathered' in when the sign ordinance went into place, so why is there a massive red sign reading 'AutoZone' on a road leading to our "beautiful downtown historic district"? Am I the only one that's noticed this?

Why not use some of that money to fund programs to help people quit smoking, as I hear some other states are doing?

Yep. Misspelling a word sure shows your intelligence.
------------------
Aw hogwash, "sittin" behind a desk "answerin" a phone, "relayin" calls to patrol cars, "sippin" free coffee, "goin" out the back door "smokin" cigarettes, just like almost all state or county jobs. Let's pay tribute to some folks that actually work for a "livin". If we're "gonna" pay tribute to them we may as well salute those middle eastern people that you get every time you call the phone company. Let's salute those girls that put in ten hours a day on their feet "waitin" tables or "workin" for minimum wage all day at a convenience store. Now THOSE girls WORK.

It's true that I am married to a former dispatcher, but that has no bearing on the respect I have for them. I work 13 counties and rely on the dispatchers in each and every one of them including the many state dispatchers I also have dealings with.
I enjoyed ONE freebie jail breakfast of runny eggs and toast during Gustov when I was working 16 to 18 hour long shifts helping patrol Adams County. I really appreciate it.
I don't hide behind an alias like most. I try to be polite and avoid making personal attacks towards anyone on here, but some people tend to make that very hard to do.

--"It also does not include state employee furloughs because Barbour, a Republican, said those would provide only a temporary fix."--
Yet he wants to take ALL state employees out from under the protection from the State Personnel Board for 2 years.
The media seems to be focusing just on his suggestion of merging schools.
To read the entire proposal, go here: http://governorbarbour.com/news/2009/nov...
