Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann issued the following statement yesterday.
Legislation passed by the Mississippi Senate today included:
-
Senate Bill 2839, authored by Chairman Josh Harkins, which
revises the SMART Business Act to provide grants to faculty and staff at
universities to develop prototypes for market.
The SMART Business Act was originally passed to encourage better
relationships between businesses and institutions of higher learning to
promote innovation and economic development in the State.
-
Senate Bill 2795, authored by Chairman Juan Barnett, which
responsibly increases earned parole opportunities and increases
educational and job training opportunities. Barnett has
worked with sheriffs, district attorneys, criminal justice advocates,
and others for months on the development of this legislation.
-
Senate Bill 2824, authored by Chairman Briggs Hopson, which
requires nonprofits or other entities receiving a line-item
appropriation from the Legislature to provide a report on
expenditures. Currently, these entities are not subject to the open
records laws like other public entities receiving taxpayer dollars.
-
Senate Bill 2621, authored by Chairman Brice Wiggins, which
establishes a task force to examine Mississippi’s current domestic and
family laws related to childcare, custody, guardian-ad-litem
and other issues.
“Our Senators are focused on
legislation which increases transparency, maximizes the use of state
dollars, recognizes ingenuity, and improves the lives of
Mississippians,”
Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann said.
The deadline for original floor action on general legislation currently pending on the calendar is Thursday, February 11, 2021. For more information on Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann, visit www.ltgovhosemann.ms.gov.

Great that’s just what we need ... more parole. You will only serve 25% of your sentence but most of that 25% will be on parole on the street. So don’t steal other people’s things again or we will put you in prison, I mean parole. You will be double paroled.
Will any measures be in place to ensure that professors are not spending half their (salaried) time inventing stuff in order to obtain free-gratis-grants for their efforts? This is the antithesis of the free market. Normally this is the end result of something called 'the entrepreneurial spirit'.
Next up, let's allow firemen to cut yards and install gutters while on the municipal clock.
Consolidate school districts Delbert, how about 20 instead of 140!! and eliminate every single useless administrative position in the MDE and higher ed, and you'll find $500 million in pocket change in the couch cushions.....stop proposing crap and start turning over the rocks where all the billions are being wasted, duplicated or stolen.
Hell there should be caps on how much executive branch administrators can make....the damn Governor only makes $122,000.....start there as a ceiling, and pare it down within a ratio....you'll find out who REALLY wants to work in public service, and fast. It's quite simple, and wouldn't cost a dime.....but you don't have the guts.
Delbert is a visionary. His vision is what we call 'tunnel vision'. And at the end of that tunnel, if you look closely, you will see.....Delbert.
More transparency huh? Oh hell yeah much much more. I’ve read a lot of bills lately, mostly because of the Legislatures treachery on proposition 65. The more I read the more I realize that the Senate nor the House have any intention regarding the will of the voters. The constant jockeying to control more and more money to pay themselves or their cronies. And it’s not just in Mississippi. The whole country seems to have elected a pack of hyenas hell bent on eating those who were stupid enough to put them in office. The crazy shit is that no one seems to notice or it’s the other political party that’s evil and ruining things. A sad state of affairs to watch the death of a nation from the inside out. But we can do one thing, a last gasp at reality, an answer of such gossamer gravity that no one will notice. Vote the sons of bitches out of office come the next elections. Maybe then we can get someone’s attention.

Your thoughts have been my thoughts since I really learned what politicians were about. I don't trust 99% of them any farther than I can throw them. They do the song and dance in public to get your vote, then behind closed doors, they plot and scheme to help themselves and those on their favored-status lists. Get some people in office that really care about all of the people, and not just special interests.
