Rats, I have to babysit. If I send you a statement, could you read it, or is that allowed?

Good luck with your important mission today. I wish I could be in Jackson to show support. Building the museum downtown is of crucial importance to the area. Carry on1

the Governor..March 11(at the Woolfolk building) is the proposed vote on the "recommendation" The Guv then has to approve or deny it. But seeming as though the commission is full of his supporters from the African American community(the tougaloo grads)..You do the math...Thus the outrage.
