(AP) JACKSON, Miss. - Three months into the Mississippi legislative session, nerves are fraying and tempers are flaring at the state Capitol.
Two Democratic House members scuffled last week after voting opposite ways on a workers' compensation bill.
A Tea Party member angrily confronted state Rep. Reecy Dickson this week after she voted to kill a charter-school bill.
And, after the Senate Public Health Committee approved a bill to put new restrictions on abortion clinics, a bill opponent glared at the committee members and called out: "Liars! You're all liars!" A security officer stepped between her and the committee members.
