WCBI – Gubernatorial candidates debate for second time

DAILY JOURNAL – Hood, Reeves spar over education, taxes in second gubernatorial debate

Attorney General Jim Hood and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves squared off in the second debate on Monday for the upcoming governor’s election, where the two candidates painted different pictures for the future of the state by offering opposing proposals for education, taxes and keeping more young people from leaving Mississippi.

Hood, the Democratic nominee, spent a large amount of his allotted time accusing his opponent of failing to fix problems that plague the state while he has been in office and for giving taxpayer’s dollars away to out-of-state corporations in tax exemptions.

Reeves, the Republican nominee, touted the state’s economic status and defended his time as the leader of the Mississippi State Senate for the past eight years while claiming Hood’s proposals are going to cause tax increases for average Mississippians.
