From The Mississippi Link:
Days after Mississippi’s Republican Governor Haley Barbour said that Mississippi would join a lawsuit challenging the new health care overhaul, the state’s Attorney General Jim Hood said he would not stop him.
In late March, Barbour asked Hood, a democrat, to sue on behalf of Mississippi, joining 13 other states in their lawsuit against the historic overhaul of the U.S. health care system signed into law last month by President Barack Obama.
The lawsuit was initiated by Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum.Hood originally said the governor needed the attorney general’s permission to file the suit, and Hood gave that clearance Friday stating that he would not stop Barbour from pursuing the lawsuit.
