“I believe that, in the long term, our economy will grow if people have more money in their pockets,” Reeves said. “And that’s one of the things we’re going to continue to work towards and we made tremendous progress with the largest tax cut in Mississippi history.”
Still on the topic of spending, Reeves thinks Hood’s proposals are costly.
“Quite frankly it’s typical Democrat playbook: Propose and make promises to as many people as you can and don’t worry about who’s going to pay for it,” Reeves described.
“I’ve set priorities on what we need to do on roads, education, health care, cleaning up the legislature, giving a grocery tax cut,” Hood added. “I know we can’t do all those the first year. I think we can do Pre-K education. I think we pass a road bill and I think we can do health care expansion.”

The announcement came from the current Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce Andy Gipson.
He plans to open the Coast’s first International Trade and Commerce office to focus on imports and exports.
That could open a lot of opportunities.
“We’ve never had an office on the Gulf Coast, but this is a way we can support what my duties are as commissioner to expand export opportunities for us around the world,” Gipson said. Gipson made the announcement at the Harrison County GOP Club meeting.
The idea is so new, he’s just now looking for office space.

Mississippi has had an AA rating from Fitch since 2016, when Fitch downgraded Mississippi from AA+. That same year, Moody’s gave a “negative” credit outlook.

Democrat State Rep. Anderson thinks Planet Fitness should be “required” to show CNN if they show FoxNews

In a statement to Politico, Cruz said he believes the seat should be filled by “someone with a strong, demonstrated record as a constitutionalist,” and that Ozerden’s judicial record doesn’t meet that standard.
“I have significant concerns that Judge Ozerden’s judicial record does not indicate that he meets that standard. For that reason, I do not believe he should be on the court of appeals, and I will oppose his nomination,” Cruz said in the statement to Politico.
Ozerden’s nomination was announced in June. His confirmation hearing began in July, but a committee vote has not yet been held. In introducing Judge Ozerden to their colleagues, Mississippi’s U.S. senators delivered high praise of the Gulfport native.
“Judge Ozerden has impeccable credentials, and it is clear he is very well qualified—by ability, education, and experience—to serve as an appellate judge,” Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith said.
