QUORUM | MPB 2-10-2010 - Law and Order

Lawmakers are debating a wide range of public safety issues during the 2010 legislative session. House and Senate have agreed on a bill designed to curb meth production. Measures on texting on the roads, boating under the influence, and domestic violence are also under consideration. But in a year when budget shortfalls preclude "business as usual", what of the business of public safety? What of the impact on district attorneys' offices, and law officers on the state and local level?. We hear from Mississippi Sheriffs Association president Willie March, Bureau of Narcotics Director Marshall Fisher, 17th Circuit Court District Attorney John Champion and legal analyst Matt Steffey from the Mississippi College School of Law in this 2-10-2010 edition of QUORUM.
