Unenthusiasm abounds
Regardless of what other mileposts this special session marks, it may go down as one of the least popular among lawmakers.
In short, a number of the representatives and senators aren't excited about the lack of a definitive action plan or being away from their families and businesses.
"I hope we get some things done, but I've got 1,700 claims at my agency," said state Rep. Ronnie Johns, R-Sulphur, an insurance agent in private life.
Sen. Don Cravins, D-Lafayette, was critical of the timing of the special session, pointing out that Mississippi completed its post-hurricane special session a month ago.
"We've wait too long, in my opinion, before we came into session," he said. "And I think people in the Legislature are looking for direction. We're still waiting on that."
