Reeves: Mississippi in good financial condition

The Sun Herald, 5/5/8

State Treasurer Tate Reeves says Mississippi is in good financial shape and that could help with national financial markets.

He is praising budget writers for filling the rainy day fund, which provides a financial cushion in tight times, and for limiting long-term debt.

He says he wishes lawmakers had planned to spend only 98 percent of projected revenues instead of 100 percent.
