Hookers rejoice....
Governor Delbert - or at least wannabe Gov Delbert - trying to stage a power coup over the stimulus $$$s that are designated to be sent to the Governors.
This has been argued before, back when the Dems controlled both houses several years ago, and when the Dems held the House.
Billy McCoy tried this same move (although the legislature was not in this in/out process) but quickly gave up and was quoted as "well, I at least would like a seat at the table when the discussions are being held" with the Katrina money, and again with the BP dollars.
Are they actually going to start work at 1:00 on a Friday or is this just posturing where a few will show up and then recess until a later date? I seriously doubt many of the legislators are prepared to return to Jackson on such short notice, particularly since they just said a few of days ago they would reconvene on Monday the 18th.
The timing makes no sense.
Ignore my above comment, I see now it is a pissing contest as to who decides how the billion dollars of federal coronavirus money will be spent.
Gavel in at 1PM on May 1.
Recess at 1:15 PM on May 1.
Party at Tico's 2PM on May 1 (until)
Reconvene next Tuesday at 4 PM.
5:21 PM Hookers AND rent boys
To all the phony so-called conservatives in Mississippi state government: Here’s a quote from the great Lou Mannheim in Wall Street: “The main thing about money, Bud, is that it makes you do things you don't want to do.“
I can hear Cher singing in the background, gypsies, tramps, and thieves...
Timing makes a lot of sense, if you are a power hungry politician like Hosemann and Gunn. Meet, pass one bill that makes them 'king for a few months' and recess again until the scheduled May 18, all to try to stop Reeves from spending any of the federal stimulus money.
So, instead of the money getting into the economy in May, Delbert and Phillip will use May and June to create a massive spending bill and then leave town.
This power play will be done saying 'the legislature' will decide, but it will be just like their crafting of a bond bill - Hosemann, Gunn and one or two members will decide. But they will crow from their perches that '174 people, not the Governor' should be in charge.
To evaluate the idea, look at how the Speaker aND the LG handle annual appropriations and multiply that mess by 5
Well, we get to watch a rerun of Dumb and Dumber!
@7:37 How is this any different from when Tate was LG?
Hookers are essential workers, right?
The only question is, will they be tested before they convine?
@553. Add: in 2-14 days, several fat members of the legislature battle the corona sickness.
I'm concerned about the current conditions. Where the impact of the corona virus has paralyzed the world economy, hopefully the corona virus outbreak will soon end and we can work again to meet our daily needs. Thank you for the information, I hope you and all of us get health.
What are the going to do for recreation now that Steve Hutton has “retired.”
