Hood releases “Too Late Tate” ad
Tate Reeves had 8 years but waited until an election year to release a “plan” to improve public education. The reality is, Reeves repeatedly killed teacher pay raises, fought against expanding pre-K, and cut millions for community colleges and job training. #MSgov #TooLateTate pic.twitter.com/mDTnSp5vXa

DAILY JOURNAL – Hosemann campaigns on infrastructure solutions, budget reforms
With the state’s general election less than three weeks away, Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann is campaigning to be the next lieutenant governor by advocating for the need to revamp the structure of state agencies and repair the state’s deteriorating infrastructure.
Hosemann, the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, met with the Daily Journal’s editorial board on Monday, where he said he wants to lead reforms to the way the state government treats its gasoline tax by handing a local gasoline tax option over to county government.
In Monday’s interview, Hosemann said he is still developing some of the details of the plan, but said if a local board of supervisors wanted to enact the local gasoline tax within their county, it could vote to put the tax on a ballot initiative for the county residents to vote on. If the voters approve the initiative, the county could receive 100% of those taxes.

WLOX – New interstate may impact Mississippi residents in its path
A new interstate may be coming through Mississippi. Interstate 14 is America’s newest highway. Construction has already begun in Texas and if Congress approves the remaining route, it would stretch through Louisiana and Mississippi.
The interstate would follow U.S. Highway 84 from Natchez to Brookhaven, and then connect to the current Interstate 59.
But there are some roadblocks. The Mississippi Department of Transportation said hundreds of people may lose their land or homes.
