Favre remains in Mississippi welfare lawsuit, judge rules


JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Retired NFL quarterback Brett Favre will remain as a defendant in a civil lawsuit that seeks to recover millions of dollars of misspent welfare money that was supposed to help some of the neediest people in the United States, a Mississippi judge ruled Monday.

Circuit Judge Faye Peterson wrote that Favre's attorneys made “unpersuasive and inapplicable” arguments in seeking to have him removed as one of more than three dozen people or businesses being sued by the Mississippi Department of Human Services.

“Obviously, Brett Favre is disappointed in the court's ruling,” his spokesman, Alex Pfeiffer, said in a statement Monday. “His legal team is exploring their options.”

Millions of federal welfare dollars for low-income Mississippi residents were squandered on projects supported by wealthy or well-connected people, including projects such as a college volleyball facility backed by Favre, prosecutors say.

1. I hope they get all their money back. MS desperately needs it. nt

2. You want out of the lawsuit, Brett?

Sign a confession of judgment, write a check, and go on your merry way. Oh, and make a note to yourself not to steal money from poor parents and children. Difficult to fathom how you haven't learned that lesson by this point in your life.
