Southern Blog Roundup
Some highlights from today's progressive blogging south of the Mason-Dixon Line:
Arkansas Daily Blog links to a new report that finds branches of their home-state mega-retailer Wal-Mart are "unequivocally associated" with higher poverty rates in the community ... and the National Council of Women's Organizations will be pushing a resolution at WM's June 2 shareholders meeting about the company's glass ceiling.
North Carolina's own Pam's House Blend covers the face-off between Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue and Fulton County Superior Court Judge Constance C. Russell, who recently declared a ballot initiative on same sex marriage and civil unions is unconstitutional. Plus, about those faith-based virginity pledges ...
The Orlando Sentinel blog Central Florida Political Pulse reports that "Florida hunters and anglers, who overwhelmingly supported Republican George W. Bush in 2004, are decidedly unhappy" with the president's energy policy. How unhappy?
And live from New Orleans, NOLA Rising links to a Times-Picayune story that says rebuilding of the city's levees is underway, but the Army Corp of Engineers admits "the system still won't be high enough to prevent flooding by a similar storm this year."
