Chamber leaders discuss good and bad of legislative season
JACKSON, MS (Mississippi News Now) – While lawmakers were busy passing protection bills like the back the badge and new trooper school, there are a few big items still left to be discussed.
One of those items is the new public education funding formula.
When asked about this bill, Lieutenant Governor Tate Reeves said “We continue to have conversations as it relates to the new school funding formula. I believe there is still commitment on the part of members of the house, members of the senate to continue to have those conversations.”
