Don’t be fooled: Proposed postpartum extension is Medicaid expansion
The idea is cleverly conceived. It doesn’t look like an expansion. And it applies to moms – and who doesn’t like moms? 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. This would constitute…

Solar subsidies will incentivize irrational energy decisions in Mississippi
The end result of the subsidies will be higher electricity prices for Mississippi families and businesses. In August 2022, President Biden signed the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act,” a $370 billion spending package that will do little to reduce inflation, but it will do a lot to subsidize solar power production.

Two-thirds of funding bill goes to national security, law enforcement
Passing yet another CR would have continued to waste money and weaken our military. Shortly before Christmas, Congress passed major legislation to keep the government open through fiscal year 2023.

McCarthy’s politically expensive election as House Speaker leaves a hard road forward
It was the most protracted battle to elect the U.S. House Speaker since 1859.

Mississippi’s Public Pension in the Danger Zone
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.

Process to elect new Speaker of the U.S. House worked as it should
Individual lawmakers have regained a measure of influence that hadn’t existed under the previous majority. Thirteen times between the 1st U.S. Congress and the 36th did the vote for Speaker of the House of Representatives go to multiple rounds of balloting.

A Calling, the Ultimate Sacrifice and the Responsibility of a Grateful Society
A reflection upon and recommitment to appreciating law enforcement. A little over a week before Christmas, two men were murdered in Mississippi.

Governor Delbert Hosemann qualified to run for re-election on Thursday. This was not in doubt.
