TL;DR: Mississippi has had lots of federal money to help the poor. It was mostly stolen. They’re jailing the reporters who exposed this instead of the theives
Brett Favre (Former NFL QB) was part of the theft. He stole $1.1 million from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program to build a volleyball court. Everyone that stole money deserves jail time.
They included a volleyball facility that cost more than $5 million at the University of Southern Mississippi, a project championed by former NFL football star Brett Favre, whose daughter happened to be on the volleyball team there.
Favre, who has not been charged, also received $1.1 million for purported promotional efforts. And a drug company in which he owned stock, Prevacus, received $2.1 million, according to public records. Favre lobbied the governor to help secure the money, according to text messages obtained by Mississippi Today.
“It’s 3rd and long and we need you to make it happen!!” Favre texted Bryant on Dec. 26, 2018. Bryant replied, “I will open a hole.”
He has to know he sounds stupid when he says “it’s 3rd and long” no matter what job you used to have, unless you’re coaching little league it makes no sense. Also what is the difference between lobbying and just texting someone? I always imagined lobbying as how the stock exchange is depicted in movies, with people yelling and gesturing wildly.
Louisiana likes to give them a run for their money occasionally. Both of those states have areas that are like third world countries, and the average education level is lolcow low.
The unofficial motto of Alabama is “thank God for Mississippi” because in most statistics Mississippi is the only thing keeping Alabama from being at the bottom with regards to anything positive and at the top with regards to anything negative 😄
SNL has all the debates except the one with clinton vs bush snr and perot where they say some stuff about arkansas and I swear he makes a comment about them being better than mississippi.
