“This settlement is the culmination of years of hard-fought litigation against an industry giant,” said Attorney General Hood. “The result is historic because it finally and indisputably holds S&P accountable for its role in the financial crisis. The size of the settlement and the successful partnership between the States and the Department of Justice send a strong message that no company is above the law.”Hood's leadership on this issue is a landmark achievement, and proof that while some statewide leaders look the other way from problems (or worse, exacerbate them), Hood continues to be a voice for working Mississippians.
If only state Republicans took their jobs seriously.
