Hall of Famer Brett Favre repaid most of what he owed the state of Mississippi after accepting improper welfare funds in 2020 earlier this week, but he isn’t backing down on the interest he still owes.
The longtime Green Bay Packers quarterback got into a Twitter feud with Mississippi’s state auditor over the remaining $228,000 in interest he still owes and the paid speeches the state said Favre didn’t show up to give.
How speeches would have helped the at-need Mississippians still isn’t clear. Mississippi has said that if Favre doesn’t pay the remaining interest he owes by mid-November that they will pursue a civil lawsuit.
