The Mississippi Road Builders Association Board met yesterday and before the meeting had an opportunity to visit with Lt. Governor Phil Bryant on the recently signed $300 million bond bill. This is a monumental piece of legislation and we now look forward to working with the State Bond Commission on the approval of the release of bonds to make the state's infrastructure more efficient and safe.

Supreme Court Justice Jess Dickinson spoke on the duties and functions of the Supreme Court. It seems like just yesterday (seven years) ago when he announced his candidacy and won the Supreme Court District 2 seat (South Mississippi). Also, Appellate Judge Donna Barnes spoke on the functions of the Court of Appeals. She will be running for re-election in a district that covers the northeast part of the state. I will keep you posted - May 7 is the deadline for challengers with the election in November.
