We will miss your great work on the state and wish you all the best in Alabama.

Personal update:

I'm leaving the CL this week and joining the Lagniappe Daily in Mobile AL on July 21.

It's been an honor covering Mississippi news with you over the last 4 years. Thank you to those who made my time in MS after college possible. I'll miss this place very much.

I’m not a tax lawyer like you, I’m a country lawyer from a small town, but here’s what I do know about PERS.

My wife is a PERS Retiree. Both of my parents were lifelong educators in Mississippi’s public schools and our outstanding community college system. They are both PERS Retirees. I really don’t need a late afternoon tweet on PERS or leadership from you. Trust me, I’ve got real world examples of the importance of both from those mentioned above.

True leadership is solving the stability of PERS which is why the funding for our state’s retirement system is directly addressed in the House tax plan. Which part of the Senate tax plan addresses dedicated funding to PERS?

No one denies we’ve got a $25 billion dollar deficit currently with PERS. No one denies we have to stop digging the hole. No one denies we owe it to retirees and employees to honor the benefits promised. What Mississippians, including House of Representatives members, are concerned about is your lack of leadership to address the money side of the problem you refuse to engage in: a dedicated stream of revenue directly to PERS.

You have in your Senate a House Bill that directly addresses the MONEY side of the PERS problem by dedicating $100 million dollars annually of the state’s share of lottery proceeds DIRECTLY to PERS. It’s called House Bill 1. Look it up this weekend. I’ll clue you in, it’s in Section 11.

Certainly honored to be included among the @MSTop50 with so many who are so accomplished. A fantastic evening highlighted by the great Archie Manning. Humbled.

Lost in the bizarre @luka7doncic trade, is the oddity that the Wurzburg, Germany connection to @dallasmavs is over after 27 straight years with loss of @MaxiKleber. Some guy named @swish41 started that run:)

[Mark Konradi @MarkKonradi]

Is this some some sort of karmic payback for the Herschel Walker trade that fleeced the Vikings? This @luka7doncic trade has to be the worst trade I could imagine. What were the @dallasmavs thinking?

[Mark Konradi @MarkKonradi]

This news of Madison County losing a massive number jobs comes just as @tatereeves delivers his State of the State address, where no doubt the creation of jobs will be discussed.

Is there a chance that Jerry would actually hire @DeionSanders? Would be crazy to think that JSU would have had @HeismanTrophy winner and the @dallascowboys head coach two years later.

If @Lane_Kiffin was upset over the competitive nature of the @NDFootball game vs. @IndianaFootball, wonder what he has to say about @SMUFB down 28-0 at the half. #hottytoddy, #ponyup

And we are thrilled to have you @Sam_Hutchens_

Some personal news:

I’ll be the new Ole Miss beat reporter for the @clarionledger. My bylines will start popping up in a few days and I’ll be in town soon.

Put simply, I’m thrilled. I can’t wait to meet everyone on the beat and the Ole Miss fans who make Oxford special.
