SHERIFF MCGEE FINALLY GETS NOTICED

You can read here my previous notes on Sheriff Billy McGee of Forrest County, Mississippi, who with two deputies commendered trucks of ice and water for the benefit of some area residents in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and the local newspaper's supportive editorial last weekend asking the federal prosecutor handling the case not to file any charges.

Tonight, the story will be one of the featured pieces on CNN's programme Anderson Cooper 360, and he gave it some mention on his show blog. The journalist and crew recently visited the Hattiesburg area to report on this story. I truly hope this helps in the effort to prevent this case from going forward.
