WSJ rips AG Hood
The Wall Street Journal comes out swinging against Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood and his penchant for outsourcing legal work…
“The Mississippi Senate recently passed a bill requiring Mr. Hood to pursue competitive bidding before signing contracts of more than $500,000 with private lawyers. The legislation also requires a review board to examine contracts, and limits contingency fees to $1 million. Mr. Hood is trying to block the law in the state House, and no wonder considering how sweet this business has been for him and his legal pals.”
