Feb 20, 2023: Clarion Ledger: Early polling shows governor's race will be a challenge for Tate Reeves
Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves could be headed back to the banking world after the state’s November general election. One poll shows Reeves is in disfavor with many Mississippi voters, while another survey indicates he is trailing his main Democratic opponent for the state’s top job. A poll conducted in January by the Mississippi Today media operation and Siena College shows a majority (57-percent) of Mississippians would support “someone else” over Reeves' reelection bid for the new term in January. Siena is a private liberal arts college in New York founded by Catholic friars.

Feb 7, 2012: Jackson Free Press: Sunshine Act Aimed at AG Hood
"This clarifies the process and sheds some light on it," Rep. Trey Lamar, R-Senatobia, one of the bill's co-sponsors, said. |
Republicans sitting on Jud-A had their quarry in their sights as they considered a bill that's been dubbed the Sunshine Act, which seeks greater transparency when it comes to hiring outside law firms to represent the state in lawsuits. The bill would empower state agencies, boards and commissions--from the treasurer's office down to the Egg Marketing Board--to hire their own attorneys if the agency believes a conflict of interest exists with the attorney general's office, which usually represents the state in legal matters. It also requires a legal-services contract of more than $100,000 to be forwarded to the Personal Service Contract Review Board for publication online. 2.7.12 |
