For political junkies in Mississippi, the next few years could be a wild ride. Governor Tate Reeves and Lt.

Mississippi must continue to invest in its educator pipeline
Lawmakers could consider targeted strategies to incentivize the most at-risk teachers. Why are Mississippi teachers leaving their classrooms at an unprecedented rate?

Don’t be fooled: Proposed postpartum extension is Medicaid expansion

One of the most significant decisions facing the Mississippi Legislature in 2023 is whether to expand Medicaid to cover women who have ended a pregnancy within the last 12 months.

Solar subsidies will incentivize irrational energy decisions in Mississippi

It’s time for an adult conversation on what is driving deficiencies and how to responsibly fix them. Mississippi’s Public Employee Retirement System (PERS) is in trouble.
