AP Analysis: Bryant seeks limited government role
First-term Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant makes no apologies about his belief in small government and his pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps philosophy.
That’s made the Rankin County Republican popular with tea party groups his first seven months in office but could cause heartburn for people who believe government can play a substantial role in making life better.
Lawmakers might want to keep Bryant’s outlook in mind as they look ahead to the 2013 session, which is likely to include debates over merit pay for teachers – which Bryant supports – and a possible expansion of Medicaid, which he opposes.
