Hooray for the Governor who finally sees the truth!!!!

With the veto, "Haley Barbour looks like he continues to protect the interest of big tobacco," said Sharon Garrison

Of course!  Anytime someone on OUR side speaks up, we are working for Big Tobacco!  More spin and lies from Sharon Garrison who doesn't want to "lose the money!"

In addition, the group helps pay for school nurses and offers tobacco treatment services.

Oh wow!  $20 million for THIS!!!!  How about all of your pet programs, Sharon?  You sure fail to mention THOSE!!! 

Barbour said the Partnership has received $100 million since 2000, but there's no public accounting of how the money was spent.

NO PUBLIC ACCOUNTING OF HOW THE MONEY WAS SPENT????!!!!!  That says a MOUTH full!!!

The truth comes out!

All these anti-tobacco groups are just more self-interested non-governmental organizations.

Not one NGO should receive a dime from the taxpayers for any purpose. If they are popular worthwhile causes, folks would voluntarily send them all the money they need.

With the veto, "Haley Barbour looks like he continues to protect the interest of big tobacco," said Sharon Garrison, the Partnership's communications director.

The Big Nannies see the spectre of having to get an honest job looming on the horizon.

Must be scary.

We do know the Black Legislative Caucus has received several million dollars from the Tobacco Settlement under Mike Moore's management. That is why when I see a black legislator spouting how bad Barbour is on TV I just know he's a sellout crying because his teat is about to be cut off.
