Comment on Bradley Arant to host UT professor for entrepreneurial seminar by David Pharr

Thanks, Clay. To clarify, $195 covers attendance both days, plus breakfast & lunch both days, light refreshments, networking reception & materials. It also looks like limited sponsorships may be available to prevent the tuition fee from becoming an obstacle.

Can you believe such a garbage statement from a Governor who kissed four killers butts because they worked on detail at the Governor’s mansion? Hard to believe that the U.S. takes no weight into a life sentence anymore. Barbour just kissed his presidential hopes goodbye forever.

Comment on Records: DHA paid Delta Council $1M for ‘administrative’ services by CuriousnMS

This entire Cochran give away (without any accountability) of taxpayer money to DHA, Delta Council, UMMC, and Allscripts (a Chicago company) stinks to high heaven. Free conversion of UMMC EHRs, if an Obama hometown company gets the contract, and a super-lavish lifestyle for the CEO of DHA going practically unnoticed for at least 6 years are the kind of things the Justice Department should be all over if they weren’t so tied up in South Carolina, for example, with the picture ID for voting issue.

It sure seems convenient that Sen Cochran’s Office has no record of either when, where, or with whom the Senator met on this subject for more than 6 years. Yet as the above article notes “Sen. Cochran is, of course, supportive of thorough oversight and accountability for the proper use of all federal funds.” (as long as the oversight does not involve him nor anyone he may have met with.) The things Sen. Cochran’s office appear to keep are the records of the press releases announcing the give away of taxpayer funds to his cronies that are, all too often, involved with causes that are designed primarily to perpetuate the Senator’s time in office.

1. DHA has about 14 experts in finance and administration according to their website. Why would they want or need Delta Council (with one or two book keepers not even experienced in federal accounting) to do their “back office” work? Perhaps “back office” has a different meaning to Mr. Morgan?

2. Mr. Morgan says he has been off of the Board of DHA since 2007. A quick (un-doctored) review of official Minutes should verify that.

3. Why have all of the pictures of Delta Council members on the Board at DHA been removed except for Cass Pennington who is the one paid person from Delta Council leadership on the DHA Board? Is their an an attempt to scapegoat this gentleman?

4. How much has Delta Council been paid between 2001 and 2008?

The only real question in this situation is to ask and see exactly what Delta Council did for these large sums of Federal dollars. To expand upon that, can they show proof that the contractual services were obtained according to Federal Rules as well as documenting actual services. If not, hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Comment on Court wants to examine new workers’ comp appeal law by L. Bouchillon

So, Mr. Ron Aldridge calls this “a lot of headache.” Mr. Aldridge, may I say that you nothing about the headache until you are the injured worker falling from an extension ladder onto concrete steps, transported by ambulance to an ER, having surgery to repair three different injuries to your shoulder, having your lumbar spine all in a mess, having injections for pain management along with physiotherapy and physical therapy, doing your dead level best to perform during a functional capacity exam only to have a severe disability rating, your employer denying you can return to work because there is not light duty work, receiving a letter from your worker’s comp carrier telling you to return to work on a certain day, you return, your supervisor accepts and tell you that everything has been taken care of thru the administrative office of your department, and you begin work. Several months later, you find out your health insurance, life insurance and drug coverage were never reinstated on your return because your human resources department knew nothing about the entire fiasco and you continue to have to be transported off campus to a local ER because your back has locked up and you are bent over and cannot straighten up. The pain is unbearable, but the ER personnel do all they can to help you get relief enough so you can straigten your legs and back up enough to ride in a vehicle and return home. You are home then until the ERP says you can return to work. Your employer continues to state that this is not work-related and bills are not paid by the worker’s compensation company because of this, yet there was never a back pain of any kind until the fall from the ladder. The financial offices of the institution call you for payment and you can only state that the worker’s compensation company is liable, but the employer continues to deny that fact. That’s headache, Mr. Aldrige.
