Republicans look to increase gains at the county level in Mississippi
The political evolution away from Democrats has been slow but the shift is likely to continue in the Magnolia State this year. To an outsider it’s probably more than a little weird that you can drive through ruby red rural counties in Mississippi that are still represented by Democrats at the local level. More often…

Will Congress raise the debt ceiling (again)?
By borrowing, rather than raising taxes, those in Washington D.C. have been able to find money for their various boondoggles. The United States was founded on the principle that there should be ‘no taxation without representation’ – and adherence to that principle helped keep government small for much of America’s history. Throughout the nineteenth and…

Politics should not drive Medicaid expansion decision
The formula worked in those states that adopted expansion, but not in those that didn’t, including Mississippi. Once again Medicaid expansion is a hot topic in Mississippi politics. Those who oppose expansion make several arguments to support their opposition. “It costs too much. It’s socialism. It’s not a silver bullet. The whole healthcare system needs…

Accountability, real-world outcomes needed in Mississippi mental health system
At issue is whether the state’s mental health system helps people with mental illness. In 2016, seven years after issuing a letter of findings about Mississippi’s mental health system, the United States sued Mississippi, alleging the state’s mental health system violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by unlawfully segregating people with mental illness in institutions. …

Mississippi’s CON Laws are holding the state back
If Mississippians want better access to higher quality and lower cost care, it’s clear that full CON repeal is the best path. If you are doctor in Dallas and you want to open a facility to treat end-stage renal failure, you don’t need to prove to a regulator that your community needs the service. Similarly,…

Pull the Plug on Efforts to Shut Tesla Out
In the long-run, things that make life easier win, and people who try to stop those things lose. If Tesla wants to sell me a car and I want to buy a Tesla, I fail to see how that is any of the government’s business. If Tesla wants to buy a piece of land and…

Who will emerge to lead in 2027?
For political junkies in Mississippi, the next few years could be a wild ride. Governor Tate Reeves and Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann were the first two statewide office holders to qualify for re-election.

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? With one in five public school teachers in Mississippi leaving their job following the 2021-2022 school year, this question should be at the top of our minds as state lawmakers return to Jackson…
