With schools closed in Jackson and water out at the Mississippi state Capitol, the state is struggling through a different scandal about broken government services.
Mississippi Wasted Welfare Funds on Brett Favre Speeches he Never Made.

Brett Favre earned nearly $140 million as a star NFL quarterback over two decades and millions more in product endorsements," NBC News reported. "But that didn’t stop the state of Mississippi from paying Favre $1.1 million in 2017 and 2018 to make motivational speeches — out of federal welfare funds intended for needy families. The Mississippi state auditor said Favre never gave the speeches and demanded the money back, with interest."
The payment was reportedly directed by former GOP Gov. Phil Bryant.
"Favre has repaid the fees, although not the $228,000 in interest the auditor also demanded," NBC News reported. "But the revelation by the auditor that $70 million in TANF welfare funds was doled out to a multimillionaire athlete, a professional wrestler, a horse farm and a volleyball complex are at the heart of a scandal that has rocked the nation’s poorest state, sparking parallel state and federal criminal investigations that have led to charges and guilty pleas involving some of the key players."

No wonder Trump was allowed to happen. The rot has been very deep for quite awhile.

Handouts to the rich are commendable, while handouts to the poor are despicable - the Repugs' mantra.

Jackson is majority black, so the state doesn't give a shit. The state should have provided the funds to fix it. Nothing but politics.

This is just part of a larger story—money meant to go for welfare to MI’s poor was taken by many rich in MI, not just Favre

These types of things will become more common if Republicans are elected. They are ANTI clean water. ANTI clean air. ANTI regulations that keep those and some many other things, ample and safe.

Nothing will happen.
A present or firmer GOP governor of Mississippi can set a black person on fire and drag them behind a truck and nothing will happen to him.
Ok, maybe he’ll be ordered to pay a fine. And he’ll get it dismissed when no one’s looking.

Of course the federal government will have to fix it with federal money. That’s how this racket works in the confederacy.

Louisiana and Mississippi are big sucking black holes, sewer sludge, all the rest of you pay for both, at least you get the oil and gas out of it, better than foreign I guess.
