House panel seeks over $184 million JACKSON — House committee members want the state to borrow more than $184 million, mainly for new buildings at Mississippi’s community colleges and public universities.

JACKSON — Paul Minor, who was one of Mississippi’s most prominent civil lawsuit attorneys before going to prison in a judicial corruption scheme, is scheduled to be transferred to a halfway house Wednesday, his father said.

release date as Aug. 20. The Federal Bureau of Prisons doesn’t comment on transfers until they have taken place. Minor, 66, was a decorated Vietnam veteran who built a small law firm on the Mississippi Gulf Coast into one with a national reputation and made millions of dollars in tobacco, asbestos, medical-malpractice and car-safety lawsuits. He was convicted on corruption charges in 2007 along with former Harrison County judges Wes Teel and John Whitfield. Minor was convicted on charges ranging from racketeering to bribery and Teel and Whitfield were convicted of mail fraud and bribery. However, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals later threw out the bribery convictions and the men were resentenced in June 2011. Minor, who was serving the longest sentence, was resentenced to eight years, down from 11. Teel has already been released from prison. Whitfield is in a halfway house in Montgomery, Ala., and scheduled for release in June, according to prison records.
