Looks like you are right. FOX is reporting that ole Trent will resign before the end of the year, which is seriously contrary to our interests. The reason? To get around new rules, effective in 2008, that would prohibit him from lobbying his former colleagues, for two years.
IOW, he's quitting to become a lobbyist. FOLLOW DA MONEY.
We could be down another seat in a few months if FOX is correct.
Our local (Memphis) radio is reporting that Trent is not rich and wants to make some serious money! Fits his profile perfectly.
We will hear lots about this as Northern Mississippi is considered part of Memphis.
