MINOR: Thank goodness for Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney

Bill Minor: Mike Chaney is Mississippi GOP’s truth-teller

Thank goodness for state Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney.

He’s one Republican state official with the guts to tell the truth about how his fellow Republicans who control the Legislature have massacred the state’s general fund budget.

Instead of merely trimming agency budgets, the Legislature “cut down the tree.” That is how Chaney described the fiscal hatchet job done by his fellow Republicans at the 2016 session.
