Leftenent Governor Tate Reeves issued the following response to Jim Hood's criticism of the legislature.
“In
three short paragraphs, Jim Hood managed to offer his support for
raising gas taxes, raising Internet taxes, raising sales taxes, and
raising income taxes for every Mississippian,” said Laura Hipp,
spokeswoman for Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves. “Hood also evidently supports
sole-source no-bid contracts. That’s just not right, even for Jim
Hood’s ‘friends.’
“Hood’s
support of Obamacare expansion is the one policy that could hamper
Republicans successful fiscal policy of balanced budgets, larger rainy
day fund, and less debt for our taxpayers.
“While
the Attorney General continues to take millions from his trial lawyer
friends and then spends it for personal expenses, the Lieutenant
Governor has been universally praised for leading the charge for
transparency and passing comprehensive campaign finance reform.
“Maybe
the Attorney General should spend less time in Houston criticizing our
conservative policies and more time focused on defending Mississippi’s
recently passed law making us the safest place in America for an unborn
child.”

Mississippi: a great place to be a child, until you’re born.
Taxes pay for your roads, school, bridges and your gop welfare recipients groceries, etc...if you stop letting all the Political Cronies feed at the trough perhaps Americans can see the benefit of taxes, and what about the kids that are born, seems that once they are born they aren't relevant any more to the crooked corrupt GOPedo establishment.
Obamacare, trying to take your guns, Nancy Pelosi, no family value, common core, and God bless my campaign fund. Than you tater tot
"Taxes for the common good are a bad thing," says the man who lives in a gated community. Taters got his, the rest of us are on our own.
Tate continues to show how out of touch he is with what needs to be done to change the socio economic course of the state. Trickle down doesn’t work in an economically depressed state like ours. Where is the influx of people and businesses that were to locate here because of the corporate tax cuts? The Lt Guv is a panderer to the highest degree, and he knows better. He continues of long line of weak leaders we’ve endured over our 200 years as a state. Reckoning coming for Tate in 11/2019.
I've been voting for Republicans all the way back since Wendell Willkie but not this time, no, no, no, no, I'm voting for Jim Hood this time.
The tide has turned Tate.....the scare tactics don’t work especially when your leader is a morally bankrupt heathen nobody can stand to be around.
Tort reform? Med mal prices higher than ever.
Cut taxes? Citizens maligned in potholes and falling off bridges while teachers make nothing.
Keep up the one liners....maybe you can write a book when you are done.

Two career politicians blabbing at each other. Nothing worth paying attention to.
Long time republican here. Will not be voting for Tater for Governor.
I wouldn’t vote for Tate Reeves for head tater counter. He is a narcissist. North Korea has nothing over the MS Senate. There’s probably one senator who would vote for him-Terry Burton. Ha. Dumb and dumber-MS style. Ole Hipp can keep writing her snappy press releases. Try all you can to craft a message. We still aren’t voting for Kim Jung Reeves. Sorry. Not sorry.
"I've been voting for Republicans all the way back since Wendell Willkie but not this time"
LOL LOL LOL
I've been voting Republican since 1961 but I will vote for Espy for Senator and Hood for Governor.
Republicans along the African Americans have taken this State to the number 50 position while the working class continue to go down and down. My business is worth about 10% of what is was worth in 2007.
My friends in other States who are in the same business are growing at a rate of approximately 20% a year---WOW !!!!!!! SHIT !!!!!!! DAMN!!!!!!! HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F..K!!!!!!!!!! That's all I got.
I think of Tater every single time I hit a pothole. Do nothing lt governor, do nothing legislature. Unless you’re ‘job creator’ and then it’s a buffet of giveaways on my dime. Not this time Tate. I’m not fooled. I’m warming up to mullet haircuts too.
If I was ever wavering, his idiocy on allowing a vote by the Senate on CIDs sealed it for me. I live in Belhaven, and don't know how I will vote, should it ever pass, but that ABSOLUTELY arrogant SOB once again bullied his way to kill it. Does he even have a staff that lets him do such stupid things? If they are advising him this way, he needs to adjust.
Tater fiddles while Mississippi burns.
People complain Feel is an empty suit, yet are going to give Tater Tot a shot at the job. If there has ever been an empty suit it is TaterTot. This life-long republican will vote Hood before voting for Reeves.
4:05 pm The Shakespearean lines you quoted were given by characters planning anarchy.
Even in Shakespeare's time, it was understood that the rule of law is the only thing that stands between humans and chaos.
And the idiot Reeves got a bill passed negating auto inspection stickers, allowing dangerous vehicles on the road and hurting businesses all over the state making needed repairs to same. Actually brags about it. He should have made inspection stations and stickers like Tennessee. To get a sticker allowing one to use a certain vehicle, at state sponsored stations yearly, you must prove you have insurance, prove you own the vehicle, prove it meets EPA standards, and then the usual stuff we use to require (horn, turn signals, brake lights, etc etc)
6:57....polls show a lot of people are just like you....including me.
KF, impressive reader base you have. 99 year old (or older) that can handle commenting on your site at 3:47. Voted for Wilkie and now, 78 years later is going to quit voting for Republicans. I thought my record of first supporting Ruben was goid - but since that was in the 60's I haven't decided to change. No way would I support Hood and his corrupt regiem. And will proudly stay with Tater.
By the way, if he did solely and only on his own accord kill the CID, stopping my HOA from being able to raise my taxes even higher while my SS remains mired at a 1% growth, then that's a double down reason I will be glad to support him in 2019.
Educate yourself 10:00 AM. Google Community Improvement districts and WOW you will find property values increase much more that the $200 to $300 a year you will be assessed. and last time I checked we have separation of powers for a reason. We have committees and floor debates for a reason. We have 2 houses of government for a reason.
Most importantly Mississippi is last L.A.S.T. in all things good for a reason, that being shortsighted, self centered, pandering "leaders" like Tate Reeves.
Finally, 12.23 explains the theory behind CIDs....
If we would just raise our taxes by 6 more mills in Jackson, then our property values would increase substantially!
Never mind that I pay 4 times what my friends in Madison and Flowood pay...
If that mean 'ol Tate Reeves would just let the rich liberals get 6 more mills of my money (because, after all, they know better how to spend it than I do)....then I can get rich too because of soaring property values!
NO THANK YOU to that BS!!
Keep piling on. Meanwhile, I live in Jackson and love it here.
Leland and Ben have been busy here......
