MDOT: Meet the new King, same as the old one

It seems that Southern District Transportation Commissioner Wayne Brown (D-Lucedale) may not run for reelection, and Senator Tom King (R-Petal) may run for the seat.

The key to MDOT politics is not partisanship, it usually comes down to one issue: Butch Brown, Executive Director of MDOT. He is hired by a majority of commissioners so to maintain control he needs 2 votes. He doesn't care if those votes are Republican or Democrat.

Wayne Brown has been a supporter of Butch Brown. And the word is, Tom King would also be on the Butch Brown team.
