[News] Barbour: What’s the Hurry?
The Clarion-Ledger reports:
Gov. Haley Barbour told a business group today there’s no need allocate most of the state budget during the first week of the legislative session.
The Republican spoke to more than 1,000 members of the Mississippi Economic Council. But his remarks were aimed at Democratic House leaders, who tried unsuccessfully to get votes on education funding and pay raises for teachers and state employees on Tuesday, the opening day of the three-month session.
“I would suggest that if you ran your business that way, you wouldn’t have enough money to pay your MEC dues,” Barbour said to the business people, who were in Jackson for an annual day of lobbying.
