Interesting article about the financial health of Mississippi

As the article points out, 'Mississippi is still robbing Peter for Paul.' A must-read for residents - where does the tax dollar go?

From http://www.ddtonline.com/articles/2004/0...rials/edit2.txt:
 
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour played his cards straight and to the point as he addressed the 69th annual meeting of Delta Council last week in Cleveland.
He said he hoped the state Legislature could wrap up budget work before, or by, the May 9 deadline for the fiscal year 2005 state budget.
It seems that's been accomplished. But at what cost?(...)
Even the sacrosanct K-12 education budget wasn't spared the budget knife.

Very interesting...
