    Hattiesburg says NO !!!

    SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI -- A day after seeing a bond issue for facility enhancement turned down by Hattiesburg voters, Southern Miss athletic director Richard Giannini said the university would not attempt a similar effort in 2006.

    Instead, USM will begin fundraising efforts to gather the $12 million that would have been earmarked for facility projects.

    "I never say never, but the fact is that it was that soundly defeated," Giannini said Wednesday afternoon, "I don't see any other option.

    This is not a bad idea, the thing I would do different is instead of a bond, I would add a tax to the hotel's in Ruston. This would at least provide some steady income that the athletic department could use for facilities and the people of Ruston would not have to come out of pocket for it.

    We do have politicians running things, but I have not heard of this as a possibility to improve things.

    Problem is everyone thinks we are doing great and just fine! Why would we need or want to do this?

    Something like that would not stand a chance in RUSTON.

    There are too many people here who like things just the way they are - like Pleasantville. And if there is no direct benefit to them they will not support it. Ruston high would stand a much better chance than Tech at getting something like this pushed through. BUT, if it were presented properly ahead of time it might stand a chance.
