Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann issued the following statement.
From a $600 million-plus infrastructure plan to legislation strengthening our elections process, providing options for the continued collaboration of hospitals, and increasing the number of doctors and nurses in Mississippi, the Session has been an overwhelming success. The State is in excellent fiscal condition, we are paying off debt, our personal and business taxes are decreasing, and we have adopted a conservative budget which funds necessary services.
I am particularly proud of the Senate’s earlier 52-0 commitment to fully funding the education of our children. Our Senators’ leadership on this issue resulted in an additional $100 million for our schools, which will fund local supplements for teachers, classroom supplies, diesel for buses, and all the other things necessary to providing every child in Mississippi with an opportunity for a first-class education.

Uncle Joe, recently having visited Rolling Stone, will have something to say about 'Diesel'!!
In other new, Chokwe announced Jackson is in better shape than ever…
Initiative and referendum?
Delbert's failure to get any meaningful legislation passed that would actually help the small hospitals will come back to haunt him in the next election. He is dreaming if he thinks everyone will support him.
Delbert has no interest in 'the voice of the people':
1) No vote on state flag. Two-man ramrod job.
2) No interest in the people's desires regarding the capitol police district jurisdiction and related regulations.
3) No interest in the right of the people to initiative and referendum.
4) No interest in Republicans maintaining chairmanship of all appointive committee assignments. Hands many of those assignments to democrats.
Delbert is Mississippi's answer to the world's best ventriloquist - talks simultaneously out of both sides of his mouth.
In other words, Hoseman and other “conservatives” all agreed to rob us of more money to flush even more down the public education toilet.
We are so screwed. Both parties are so corrupt and now Republicans are lazier than ever when we need leadership the most. Never seen an organization so happy with status quo. Don’t even bother purging voter rolls. We won’t have any serious candidates in this banana republic for a while, maybe never.
I am so sick of this.
I’m voting for Delbert. Best Lt gov we have had in a long time. Maybe ever!
Delusional. Major public policy crises all around. What did you fix?
12:27. You are correct. Ignore these loud mouths that are sorry....stupid. Delbert gets things done. The good way. We are BLESSED to have him.
5:33,
May want to learn to count. He appointed fewer D’s than Tater Tot did when he was Lt Gov!
Try again.
No MAEP reform, watered down CCID, no water takeover, no tax cuts, population in free fall spiral with no thoughtful plan, hospitals in meltdown… but y’all did manage to pass your pork bill and leave town. Dramatic slow clap.
THere is no way to "fully fund education" . As soon as you sign on for whatever amount they are begging for, they want more. It's the state's biggest welfare recipient.
I am thoroughly unimpressed with Delbert's leadership. He's not one bit different from your average liberal Democrat.
I don’t remember ever seeing a press release or any movement from Dilbeeeert u til election time grew near and he had a more conservative challenger than his RINO record….
Are people really still whining about not having a confederate State flag? Your platform is so embarrassing.
