The special session of the Mississippi Legislature scheduled for Friday has been postponed.

Gov. Haley Barbour issued a statement Wednesday afternoon saying the company involved in an economic development project to be the subject of the special session "needs additional time to complete its preparations for executing the project..." A brief special session will be called as soon as the company is ready, Barbour said.

The governor has said the project could produce up to 500 jobs in the Mississippi Delta.

Congrats to Haley Barbour for his efforts to bring industry to our state despite the state of the national economy. It appears that this project stands a good chance of being successful and, if so, will mean four or five hundred jobs for Tunica county. Rumor has it that it's a German company that will manufacture steel pipe. I believe that after his term in office, Haley will be remembered as our best governor in terms of business and industrial acquisition. Also, I congratulate him for being a sound fiscal conservative that will serve us well as we go through this period of depressed state revenues.His actions are quite a contrast to the utter irresponsible actions of our present administration which apparently seeks to devastate our country with debt that will take generations to pay. I regret having to pass these trillions of dollars on to our children and grand children. Socialism apparently comes at a very high price to the taxpayers. How sad that have gotten ourselves in such a mess.
