State of Mississippi Boundaries Scandal

( Remember to hit the back button to return to this page )

 

In 1990 ( Back in the dark days of Mabus and Molpus ) , a bill was introduced by MS Senator Hobb Byron

Senate Concurrent Resolution ( SCR ) ,  SCR 520 to remove the boundaries for the entire state of Mississippi.

 

 

There was never any official motive given for introducing this legislation. The legislation was simply batched up with a lot of outdated legislation that could be easily purged and passed with a voice vote. The sad thing about this was that there was never any opposition from any of the legislators on the boundary removal.

 

 

All the batch processed legislation was put on the November ballot as constitution amendments to be voted on. The MS Boundary legislation was Amendment Number 5 on the ballot. Naturally as people starting checking off the YES  to the (no brainer) legislation;  When they came to No. 5,  they inadvertently checked it off as well.

 Additionally, correspondence was sent to Senator Byron regarding his motives for introducing legislation of this nature.

Some would say so what  ?

 

Others would say that loss of a state’s boundaries is a major tragedy.

It is a major step towards loss of state sovereignty.

It would make it easier for the state to be merged into some Federal region or UN Province.

How would a state claim to enforce any state laws if it didn’t have any boundaries ??

Federal laws would be needed to replace the state laws since there were no state boundaries for the state laws which they pertained to.

 

 

The frightening thing is that most states have found some reason to renounce their boundaries.

In 2001 the state of Alabama had legislation introduced to eliminate their state boundaries, but luckily it was defeated. Research needs to be done on the legislation in each state regarding their boundary removal assaults.  

 

 

The proper course of actions is to demand that Hobb Byron answer the state boundary correspondence that he received in 2007

and additionally legislation needs to be introduced to reverse the action taken in 1990.

I think that it would be most appropriate if an MS State initiative 

were introduced to accomplish this goal.
