You got that right. Minor is a hit man for the Democrat Party and is all things Democrat. Republican hatred and prejudice just drips from most of his editorials. Sadly, he is revered in Mississippi by the Democrats.
I believe the trial lawyers of Mississippi are really gunning for this election and trying to add to their supporters by dumping large sums of money into the election of state house and senate elections.
Here in NE MS, the trial lawyers and Black Legislative Caucus (another arm of the trial lawyers) are spending inordinate amounts of money to garner the seat being vacated by Republican Travis Little. Eric Powell, a pipefitter and Union man, is ahead in the primaries and right now likely to get the seat. What is sad is that he will ignore his constituents immediately and go with the trial lawyer supported Black Legislative caucus. How does this tie in with Paul Minor? The scumbag trial lawyers want to reverse some of the laws that limit their dishonest practices that have garnered them the outrageous settlements won in the past ten years. Mike Moore controls the tobacco settlement with $10 million going to the Democrat Black Legislative Caucus yearly...(for what I have nfi). Paul Minor was just the one that got caught being sloppy in his bribes...there are several others..Langston, Farese, Scruggs, et al....that have made billions with the lax laws that let lawyers get away with massive theft.
These huge class-action awards that are parceled out in secret by crooked lawyer scum are a real problem. There is very little transparency here, and much of this money is recycled into Democrat coffers.
We should push for accurate accounting of these awards, loud and long. If we can find and publicize enough dirty laundry, it would help very much in bringing about serious tort reform. This is the single most important thing we can do to destroy the Democratic Party. A huge proportion of their financial support comes from trial lawyers. It would be a most painful kick in the nuts for the Democrats if we could bankrupt the plaintiff's bar, in addition to improving almost every other facet of American social and commercial life.

Have I got good news for y'all!
"The annual diversion of $20 million of tobacco settlement funds to a smoking cessation program was wrong, the Mississippi Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
The Supreme Court upheld a December 2006 order from a Jackson County chancery judge, who said only the Legislature could appropriate money to tobacco cessation programs."
His group, The Partnership for a Healthy Mississippi, has gone out of business, too. lol

southwest mississippi is in chaos too - adams, jerrerson and wilkensin counties are a cesspool - a friend called trent lott and he admitted that not much could be done in that area of the state
here in dallas, a federal judge siezed control of our school system for decades - and redistributed the taxes from affluent (read high tax) districts to poor districts - i don’t know how that is possible under the constitution, but he did it
mississippi needs something like that - when a judge ignores crime in adams county (vines) and allows him to continue in office - when the jefferson county judges award hundred million dollar judgments for tort lawyers (when the people suing only filled one pill of a prescription to get in on the game) - when the sheriff takes ballot boxes from a mixed race committee and allows only the blacks to access them - when houses are torched because someone dare cross the corruption in wilkenson county - - - its time for the national guard or something
