Secretary of State Michael Watson is more determined than ever to see the state Legislature pass a law that gives his office sole control over Coastal tidelands along the Mississippi Sound and its bays, and further limits potential casino sites.
Watson said earlier this week on SuperTalk Mississippi, a favored venue for state politicians, that the proposed legislation is even more essential going forward because of a recent Supreme Court decision that his office lost.
The legislation is expected to be hashed out by a conference committee of Senate and House members shortly before the session is scheduled to end May 5.
