Zach Wamp drops by Dino's Restaurant to express support for the owner, House Speaker Kent Williams. Huh? ... Contentious issues remain in the last weeks of the legislature. Will they cut the budget or spend from the Rainy Day fund or both? ... Mental health and children's services brace for big drops in funding. ... Cyber-bully bill goes to the governor. ... Four states adopt "no smiles" policy for driver's license pictures. ... A.C. Kleinheider on the state's abortion fight: "This cultural war is not over, it's just begun." ... Liz Garrigan urges the mayor to say something about Bells Bend. ... The Commercial Appeal gives thanks:
