Shocked over Jim Hood

Maybe it is the static in his hair. Maybe he was scorned as a child by inviting wall plugs. But for some reason, Jim Hood hates electricity. At least, he is doing everything he can to make sure cheap electricity is hard to come by in Mississippi. First it was his incessant attacks against Entergy Mississippi. Now he is obstructing a $2 billion coal plant in Kemper County. Why you may wonder?

Hood says that since the law is a new one, he wants to make sure it's being followed properly and that the company has submitted documents that show the public why the project is needed.

The Mississippi legislature passed this law; the Mississippi governor signed this law. But unlike all the other new laws last year, Hood wants to make sure this one is followed properly. Its typical Hood, turning justice on its head, he assumes you're guilty and makes you prove you're innocent. Mississippi Power who is seeking to build the plant hasn't even gotten started, they haven't had the opportunity to follow or break the law, and Hood is already going after them.

Maybe he really does hate cheap electricity. Jim Hood's "leadership" will continue to push jobs out of state and require Mississippi to purchase energy generated from other states. But this begs the question, does he have any outside lawyers under contract on this deal, too?
