'''Haley Reeves Barbour''' (born October 22, 1947) is an [[United States|American]] [[politician]] currently serving as the [[List of Governors of Mississippi|Governor]] of [[Mississippi]]. He gained a national spotlight in August 2005 after Mississippi was hit by [[Hurricane Katrina]]. Barbour won re-election as Governor in 2007.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.washingtontimes.com/elections/candidate/19/ |title=Haley Barbour |accessdate=2009-03-14 |publisher=[[The Washington Times]] |date=November 7, 2007 }}</ref> Under Mississippi's term limits, Barbour cannot run again for Governor in 2011 when his term ends. |
|||
Prior to being elected Governor, Barbour worked as a [[lawyer]] and [[lobbyist]], and also served as Chairman of the [[Republican National Committee]] from 1993 to 1997, during which the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republicans]] captured both the [[United States Senate]] and [[United States House of Representatives]] for the first time since 1954. On June 24, 2009, Barbour was announced as the new leader of the [[Republican Governors Association]], following the resignation of [[South Carolina]] Governor [[Mark Sanford]] as its leader. |
|||
==Early years== |
|||
Barbour, the youngest of three sons, was born in [[Yazoo City, Mississippi]], where he was raised, to Jeptha Fowlkes Barbour, Jr. His father, a [[lawyer]], died when Barbour was two years old. He attended the [[University of Mississippi]] in [[Oxford, Mississippi|Oxford]], where he was a member of [[Sigma Alpha Epsilon]] fraternity, but skipped the first semester of his senior year to work on [[Richard Nixon]]'s 1968 election campaign. He never earned a [[bachelor's degree]]. At the age of twenty-two, he ran the 1970 [[census]] for the state of Mississippi. He enrolled at the [[University of Mississippi]] [[Law School]], receiving a [[Juris Doctor]] (J.D.) degree in 1972. Subsequently he joined his father's law firm in Yazoo City.<ref>[http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/Index.aspx?sp=MS&oi=G USA Today Campaign 2004 Mississippi Governor] Retrieved May 10, 2007</ref> |
|||
==Lobbying career== |
|||
In 1991, Barbour helped found [[Barbour & Rogers, LLC]]<ref>[http://www.bgrdc.com/ Barbour, Griffith & Rodgers website]</ref>, a [[Washington, D.C.]]-based lobbying firm, with [[Ed Rogers (lawyer)|Ed Rogers]], a lawyer who formerly worked in the [[George H. W. Bush]] administration. In 1994, [[Lanny Griffith]] (also a former Bush Administration appointee) joined the firm to form [[Barbour, Griffith & Rogers, LLC]]. In 1998, ''[[Fortune (magazine)|Fortune]]'' magazine named Barbour Griffith & Rogers the second-most-powerful lobbying firm in America.<ref>[http://www.timewarner.com/corp/newsroom/pr/0,20812,667214,00.html Time-Warner article on Barbour, Griffith & Rogers]</ref> In 2001, after the inauguration of [[George W. Bush]], Fortune named it the most powerful.<ref>[http://pos.org/platform/file_retrieve.cfm?ID=33 Fortune magazine naming Barbour, Griffith & Rogers most powerful lobbying firm in America]</ref> The firm has made millions of dollars lobbying on behalf of the tobacco industry.<ref>[http://www.citizen.org/congress/civjus/prod_liability/tobacco/articles.cfm?ID=908 Big Tobacco's 1997 Congressional Lobbying]</ref> |
|||
==RNC Chairman== |
|||
In 1993, Barbour became chairman of the [[Republican National Committee]]. In 1994, during his tenure as RNC chair, Republicans captured both houses of the [[United States Congress]], taking the [[United States House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] for the first time in forty years.<ref>{{cite news |last=Wayne |first=Leslie |title=No Dice, Haley |publisher=New York Times |date=1997-07-25 |url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A06E0DE163AF936A15754C0A961958260&n=Top/Reference/Times%20Topics/People/B/Barbour,%20Haley |accessdate=2007-11-01 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Wayne |first=Leslie |title=Democrats Get to Scrutinize G.O.P.

|||
==2003 campaign== |
|||
{{main|Mississippi gubernatorial election, 2003}} |
|||
After two decades in Washington, D.C., Barbour announced in 2003 his intention to run for governor of Mississippi. On August 5, 2003, he won the Republican gubernatorial primary over Canton trial attorney [[Mitch Tyner]]. Barbour's campaign manager was his nephew Henry Barbour. |
|||
During the campaign a controversy arose when Barbour chose to speak at the Blackhawk Rally, a fundraiser for the Blackhawk "council school" in Blackhawk, Mississippi. Such "council schools", also referred to in Mississippi lexicon as "academies", were established by the White Citizens' Council movement in reaction to the demands for racial integration by the American Civil Rights movement. The Blackhawk rally was hosted by the [[Council of Conservative Citizens]] (CCC or CofCC). The key element of Citizens' Councils has traditionally been opposition to racial integration in public schools. |
|||
A photograph of Barbour with CCC members appeared on the CCC webpage, and some commentators and pundits demanded that Barbour ask for his picture to be removed from the site, but Barbour refused. [6] Barbour stated that "Once you start down the slippery slope of saying,'That person can't be for me,' then where do you stop?... I don't care who has my picture. My picture's in the public domain." Barbour's [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] opponent, Governor Musgrove, declined to be critical, stating that he had also attended Blackhawk rallies in the past, and would have done so that year except for a scheduling conflict.<ref>[http://www.clarionledger.com/news/0310/17/m16.html Barbour won't ask CCC to take photo off Web site]</ref> |
|||
Barbour defeated incumbent Democrat [[Ronnie Musgrove]] in the general election on November 4, 2003, with 53 percent of the vote to Musgrove's 46 percent. Barbour became just the second Republican governor elected in Mississippi since [[Reconstruction era of the United States|Reconstruction]], the first being [[Kirk Fordice]].<ref>[http://www.encyclopedian.com/go/Governor-of-Mississippi.html List of Mississippi Governors: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com<!--Bot-generated title-->]</ref> |
|||
==2007 re-election== |
|||
{{seealso|Mississippi gubernatorial election, 2007}} |
|||
Barbour announced on February 8, 2007 that he would seek a second term as [[Governor of Mississippi]]. He announced the beginning of his re-election campaign at a series of meetings across the state on February 12, 2007. During his campaign, Barbour signed the [[Americans for Tax Reform]] "[[Taxpayer Protection Pledge]]" and vowed not to institute any new taxes or raise any existing ones.<ref>[http://www.heartland.org/Article.cfm?artId=13792 'No Tax' Pledge Signers Win in Mississippi and Kentucky - by John Skorburg - The Heartland Institute<!--Bot-generated title-->]</ref> |
|||
He defeated Frederick Jones in the Republican primary on August 7 and Democrat [[John Arthur Eaves|John Arthur Eaves, Jr.]] in the November general election. |
|||
Governor Barbour received four notable Democratic endorsements, including [[Xavier Bishop]], [[Mike Espy]], [[Brad Dye]], and [[Bill Waller]].<ref>[http://www.redstate.com/blogs/brettk/2007/oct/17/ms_gov_haley_barbour_wins_endorsement_of_prominent_dems MS-Gov: Haley Barbour Wins Endorsement of Prominent Dems | Redstate<!--Bot-generated title-->]</ref> Bill Waller and Brad Dye are conservative Democrats who served as Governor and Lt. Governor of Mississippi. Xavier Bishop is a long-time Democratic activist and the Democratic Mayor of [[Moss Point]]. Mike Espy is a former Democratic Congressman from the 2nd District of Mississippi and served as [[United States Secretary of Agriculture|Secretary of Agriculture]] under President [[Bill Clinton]]. He noted Governor Barbour's competency and character as reasons for his endorsement.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://yallpolitics.com/index.php/yp/post/5277/ |title=Text of Haley Barbour's Endorsement Ceremony |accessdate=2008-03-28 |date=2007-10-17 |work=Y'All Politics |publisher=Jackson New Media }}</ref> |

==Governorship== |
|||
[[Image:Condoleezza Rice with Governors.jpg|thumb|Haley Barbour with [[Condoleezza Rice]] and other Governors]] |
|||
Barbour took office in January 2004. |
|||
===Barbour vs. The Partnership=== |
|||
Barbour's taxation policies have not been without contention. In March 2006 Barbour vetoed a bill that would lower grocery taxes, while simultaneously raising tobacco taxes.<ref>[http://www.meridianstar.com/opinion/local_story_078225344.html?keyword=topstory Legislature should override pro-tobacco Barbour]</ref> Mississippians pay some of the highest grocery taxes in the nation.<ref>[http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060112/NEWS010504/601120396/1263 Clarion Ledger article: Grocery, cigarette tax shift passes]</ref> The "[[Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids]]" insinuated that Barbour's lobbying-era affinity with the tobacco industry may also explain his 2006 proposal to dismantle Mississippi's controversial youth-tobacco-prevention program, called The Partnership for a Healthy Mississippi.<ref>[http://www.tobaccofreekids.org/Script/DisplayPressRelease.php3?Display=894 Gov. Barbour’s Proposal Would Destroy One of Nation’s Best Tobacco Prevention Programs, Help Big Tobacco At the Expense of Mississippi’s Kids]</ref> The Partnership is a private, non-profit group which receives $20 million annually and is led by former Attorney General Mike Moore. Moore created the organization when he, representing the State of Mississippi, settled a multi-billion dollar suit with the tobacco industry. According to the suit, the funds were to offset the extra costs incurred by [[Medicaid]] while dealing with smoking related illnesses. Opponents have consistently claimed that Moore uses the organization to further his political ambitions. The Partnership regularly offers up huge grants to political organizations such as the Legislative Black Caucus. Many point to even more facts such as The Partnership not allowing a public audit which in turn permits the group to have no public accountability of its expenditures of state funds. In 2006, Judge Jaye Bradley, the same judge that awarded Moore the annual $20 million in 2000, vacated her previous decision. Bradley claimed she did not decide against The Partnership because of its inability to perform but because she believes that the state legislature is the only body that can legally decide how state funds can be delegated. Following the decision, Barbour stated that it says a lot about Judge Bradley “...that she is a strong enough person to have the gumption to vacate her own order. The only way for the state to spend state funding is for the Legislature to appropriate it through the legislative process."<ref>[http://www.magnoliareport.com/report71.htm No Moore Partnership?] June 8, 2006</ref> |
|||
After an appeal by Moore, Barbour went on to win a [[Mississippi Supreme Court]] battle that prevented the tobacco settlement moneys from funding the program, maintaining that is unconstitutional for a judge to award state proceeds to a private organization. Barbour's lawyer stated The Partnership was "the most blatant diversion of public funds to a private corporation in the history of the state of Mississippi" as The Partnership refuses to allow a state audit of its expenditures of the state's money.<ref>[http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070403/OPINION/704030381/1285 Tobacco Wars]</ref> |
|||
===Hurricane Katrina response=== |
|||
{{seealso|Criticism of government response to Hurricane Katrina}} |
|||
On August 29, 2005, [[Hurricane Katrina]] slammed into Mississippi's coast, killing 231 people,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hurricane-katrina.org/2006/01/four_bodies_fou.html |title=Four Bodies Found Since Dec. 21; Katrina Death Toll Now 1,326 |accessdate=2008-03-28 }}</ref> devastating the state's $2.7 billion-a-year [[casino]] industry and leaving tens of thousands homeless.<ref>[http://www.cnn.com/2005/WEATHER/08/30/katrina.mississippi/ Governor: Worse than Camille]</ref> (see [[Effect of Hurricane Katrina on Mississippi]]). Barbour's response was characterized by a concerted effort at evacuation, tough-minded talk on looters and an unwillingness to blame the federal government.<ref>[http://www.sciencedaily.com/upi/?feed=TopNews&article=UPI-1-20050904-21573200-bc-us-katrina-barbour.xml Science Daily article on Barbour's reaction to Hurricane Katrina]</ref> His response was compared, favorably, to that of [[Rudy Giuliani]] in the wake of the [[September 11 attacks]].<ref>[http://www.wjla.com/headlines/0905/257055.html WJLA.com article on Katrina reaction]</ref><ref>[http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/pnoonan/?id=110007187 Opinionjournal.com article on Katrina reaction]</ref> |
|||
Barbour credited the countless government workers who helped southern Mississippi cope with the hurricane. But Barbour was praised by the coast's citizens as a strong leader who can communicate calmly to the public, and provide “a central decision-making point for when things get balled up or go sideways, which they do,” as Barbour says.<ref name=governing>{{cite web |url=http://www.governing.com/poy/2006/barbour.htm |title=Steady in a Storm: Reassuring and rebuilding Mississippi after Katrina |accessdate=2008-03-28 |month=November | year=2006 |work=Public Officials of the Year 2006 |publisher=Congressional Quarterly }}</ref> |
|||
While the reconstruction process doesn’t dictate how localities should rebuild, Barbour has touted [[New Urbanist]] principles in constructing more compact communities. “They have the chance to build some things very differently,” he says. “The goal is to build the coast back like it can be, rather than simply like it was.”<ref name=governing /> |
|||
The evacuation order was issued by local officials more than 24 hours before the hurricane hit, and Mississippi activated 750 [[United States National Guard|National Guard]] troops as of August 29, the day of the hurricane.<ref>[http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Sep2005/20050908_2648.html Defenselink.mil report on National Guard activation]</ref><ref>[http://homelandresponse.org/full_story.php?WID=13977 Homelandresponse.org report]</ref><ref>[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/03/AR2005090300646_2.html Washington Post article on National Guard reaction]</ref> |
|||
===Other actions in office=== |
|||
Barbour has been praised for translating his lobbying skills into success at winning over a legislature dominated by Democrats. He has called several special legislative sessions to force an issue.<ref>{{cite press release |title=Highlights of 2004 Legislative Session |publisher=Mississippi House of Representatives Information Office |url=http://www.peer.state.ms.us/HiLites04.html |accessdate=2007-07-16 }}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |title=Highlights of 2005 Legislative Session |publisher=Mississippi House of Representatives Information Office |url=http://www.peer.state.ms.us/HiLites05.html |accessdate=2007-07-16 }}</ref> |
|||
When Barbour took office, the state of Mississippi had run a $709 million budget deficit for the 2004 fiscal year. With bipartisan support, and without raising taxes, Barbour implemented a plan called Operation: Streamline to cut the budget deficit in half.<ref>{{cite news |last=Kanengiser |first=Andy |title=Gov. calls for cost-cutting |publisher=[[The Clarion-Ledger]] |date=2004-01-29 |url=http://www.clarionledger.com/news/0401/29/ma01.html |accessdate=2007-07-16 }}</ref> He accomplished this largely by reducing spending on social services, most notably [[Medicaid]]; the 2005 budget drastically reduced coverage for 65,000 individuals classified as Poverty-Level Aged and Disabled (PLAD), most of whom qualified for the federal [[Medicare (United States)|Medicare]] program, and also significantly limited prescription drug coverage. In 2005, the state was budgeted to spend a total of $130 million less on Medicaid than in the previous year.<ref>{{cite news |last=Berry |first=Pamela |title=Medicaid bill goes to Senate |publisher=The Clarion-Ledger |date=2004-03-04 |url=http://www.clarionledger.com/news/0403/04/m01.html |accessdate=2007-07-16 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Dewan |first=Shaila |title=In Mississippi, Soaring Costs Force Deep Medicaid Cuts |publisher=New York Times |date=2005-07-02 |url=http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/02/national/02medicaid.html |accessdate=2007-07-16 }}</ref> This trend continued in the state budget for the 2006 fiscal year. After a long special session, the legislature approved a budget that featured more social service cuts but also increased educational spending.<ref>{{cite news |last=Pender |first=Geoff |title=Mississippi lawmakers pass $4.6 million (sic) state budget |publisher=[[The Sun Herald]] ([[Biloxi]], Mississippi) |date=2005-05-31 |url=http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-8087765_ITM |accessdate=2007-07-16 }}</ref> With tax revenues higher than expected during the 2006 fiscal year, due in large part to increased sales tax revenues in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the state achieved its first balanced budget in years.<ref>{{cite press release |title=Highlights of 2006 Legislative Session |publisher=Mississippi House of Representatives Information Office |url=http://www.peer.state.ms.us/HiLites06.html |accessdate=2007-07-16 }}</ref> In the 2008 fiscal year budget, for the first time since its enactment in 1997, the state fully funded the [[Mississippi Adequate Education Program]].<ref>{{cite news |title=A Win for Mississippi |publisher=[[Rural School and Community Trust]] |date=2005-05-01 |url=http://www.ruraledu.org/site/c.beJMIZOCIrH/b.2768169/apps/nl/content.asp?content_id=%7BE45956A0-EA9B-4C0A-BEB7-D249F3037DA3%7D¬oc=1 |accessdate=2007-07-16 }}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |title=End of the 2007 Regular Legislative Session Reports |publisher=Mississippi Department of Education |url=http://www.mde.k12.ms.us/extrel/leg/2007/EOSReports.html |accessdate=2007-07-16 }}</ref> |
|||
Building on a 2002 [[tort reform]] bill passed by his predecessor,<ref>{{cite news |last=Sawyer |first=Patrice |title=Gov. signs business tort reform bill |publisher=The Clarion-Ledger |date=2002-12-04 |url=http://orig.clarionledger.com/news/0212/04/m02.html |accessdate=2007-07-16 }}</ref> Barbour also introduced a new tort reform measure that has been described as one of the strictest in the nation.<ref name=governing /> Barbour rarely made a speech during his gubernatorial campaign without mentioning this subject and was able to convert political support into law, overcoming the resistance of House Democratic leaders, who argued that further legislation would disenfranchise people with legitimate complaints against corporations.<ref>{{cite news |last=Ladd |first=Donna | last2 = Stauffer | first2 = Todd |title=Face-Off: The Battle for 'Tort Reform' |publisher=[[Jackson Free Press]] |date=2004-07-25 |url=http://www.jacksonfreepress.com/comments.php?id=3059_0_9_0_C |accessdate=2007-07-16 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Ladd |first=Donna |title=Tort Reform: Myths and Realities |publisher=Jackson Free Press |date=2004-07-25 |url=http://www.jacksonfreepress.com/comments.php?id=3061_0_9_0_C |accessdate=2007-07-16 }}</ref> Barbour then embarked on a "tort tour" to encourage other states to follow Mississippi’s lead. "We’ve gone from being labeled as a judicial hellhole and the center of jackpot justice to a state that now has model legislation," says Charlie Ross (R), the chair of the state Senate Judiciary Committee.<ref>[http://www.governing.com/poy/2006/barbour.htm Steady in a Storm: Reassuring and rebuilding Mississippi after Katrina]</ref> |
|||
Under Barbour's leadership, Mississippi has enacted some of the most restrictive anti-[[abortion]] laws in the US, including a complete ban (with exceptions only in cases where the woman's life is threatened or she has been [[rape]]d) in the event that the [[Supreme Court of the United States|Supreme Court]] overturns [[Roe v. Wade]].<ref>{{cite news |author=Associated Press |title=MS: Criminalize Abortion If R v. W Overturned |publisher=CBN News |date=2007-03-22 |url=http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/124692.aspx |accessdate=2007-07-16 }}</ref> |
|||
===Recent activities=== |
|||
In April 2009 Barbour joined a conservative policy group to discuss Republican policies in town hall meetings. The group also includes former [[Massachusetts]] Governor [[Mitt Romney]], former [[Florida]] Governor [[Jeb Bush]], [[Louisiana]] Governor [[Bobby Jindal]], and Senator [[John McCain]].<ref>{{cite news |author=Associated Press |title=GOP launches policy group outside RNC |publisher=AP |date=2009-04-30 |url=http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jzAtzeY9mKONCgUxpniciP8qM1OgD97SEODG3|accessdate=2009-05-01 }}</ref> |
|||
On June 24, 2009 Barbour assumed the chairmanship of the Republican Governors Association. This came after the resignation of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford. |
|||
==Future Plans== |
|||
Since he visited Iowa in 2009, there has been speculation that Barbour may run for president in 2012.<ref>http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/eye-on-2012/barbour-to-iowa-1.html</ref> |
|||
==Public Image== |
|||
In July 2009, a [[Rasmussen Reports]] poll indicated that 34% of registered Republicans have a favorable view of him. However, 37% dislike him, which is the highest unfavorable percentage among 5 other possible Republican candidates for 2012: [[Dick Cheney]], [[Sarah Palin]], [[Mitt Romney]], [[Mike Huckabee]], and [[Tim Pawlenty]]. Also, 21% of GOP voters would least like to see Barbour win the party nomination in 2012.<ref>http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections2/election_2012/palin_at_the_top_and_bottom_for_gop_voters_in_2012</ref> |
