Mississippi's lieutenant governor released from hospital

AP reports: Lt. Gov. Amy Tuck was released from a hospital Wednesday night after doctors determined she had pneumonia but could recover at home. 'She's under strict orders to rest as much as possible,' said Tuck's chief of staff, Ben Thompson. He said she was feeling 'a little tired and weak.' Tuck, 41, was admitted to the University of Mississippi Medical Center on Saturday complaining of nausea and severe headaches. Thompson said he didn't know when Tuck would return to the Capitol, where lawmakers are holding budget talks that usually include her. The House and Senate must agree on budget bills by May 1.
