But only if his party maintains control of the House and the Senate in November's midterms. . . .Quick math puts the bill for this proposed "dividend" at more than $1 trillion. Plus, it's illegal to pay or be paid to influence voting.Francis was an inspiration for a segment of our show! One day on social media, Francis mentioned: the Posse Commitatus Act. Liz had no idea what that was. No clue. So, we started: Legal Terms on In Legal Terms. And we made a little YouTube short when Francis was on the show when we talked about “what’s in the news” That is the most watched short video on MPB’s YouTube Channel. In Legal Terms, the show where we break down the law, explain how it works, and help make it a little less intimidating for everyday Mississippians is hosted by attorney Adam Kilgore (usually).
