MBJ is off base when it comes to IPP highway

For the MBJ — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 06:01:49 +0000

Editor, In your recent article, “Entergy agrees to give up control,” writer Amy McCullough states that some officials “believe that Entergy has neglected transmission system improvements and purposefully engaged in keeping IPPs off its energy transportation highway.” What is left out of this point is that, in general, the independent power producers (IPPs) cannot [...]

Government should stay out of oil recovery

For the MBJ — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 06:01:52 +0000

Editor, I understand all the anger and devastation this oil spill has brought. But if the government “seizes” BP, it will then be the taxpayers who have to pay.

Editor, Thank you for your story on the downtown river project last week. We need for our leaders in Jackson to step up, as you say, to the plate to take care of our business for the next 30 years. If we keep working hand to mouth nothing will happen. Jackson leaders, I hope will [...]

The gun owners I know do not cause me fear

For the MBJ — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 06:01:00 +0000

Editor, Your response to Sen. Merle Flowers proposed bill has little to do with being anti-business and nothing whatsoever to affecting or not affecting a recession.
