Hard to argue with this.

Hard to believe Lefty Crawford wrote this.....perhaps he's "moving to the center" like so many liberals are doing to save their dumb asses.

The MS Legislature will eventually be illuminated to be as corrupt as the U.S. Government has been discovered to be.

We need a DOdGE agency to help cut waste fraud and abuse in MS. They can start with the legislature. We do not need 174 legislators.

I predict no taxes will be cut.

The structure of Mississippi state government was set in the Mississippi Constitution of 1890. That constitution had the primary purpose of disenfranchising, terrorizing, and forever oppressing the black citizens of the state. The framers admitted that. Since we supposedly have left that purpose behind, is it not about time to consider a new constitution whose purpose will be to efficiently organize this state for a better future? Or is 1890 too wonderful to actually leave behind?

Citing studies from 1932, 1950, and 1971 on the recommended number of state agencies doesn't really do much to support his argument.

There is a separate board/agency to regulate each profession, from architects to message therapist, so just looking at the number of agencies doesn't really reflect the "size of government."

It would take the MS National Guard to lock it all down to investigate, but Trent Kelley - who's in charge of them - IS one of the good ole' boys himself, and would never allow the uncovering of the grift, graft, and flim flam in the Legislature.

Of course WE need more government help. THEY need to be cut.
That's how it works.

More spam to make Democrat Delbert Hosemann appear better than the actual results.

Cut the number of counties by 2/3. The idea that every little shithole town, former railroad stop, or geographical area needs it's own court system, law enforcement, and school system is profoundly backwards and fosters corruption.

3:09 nailed it. That simple. Same with school districts. Don’t need several hundred superintendents in a sparsely populated state.

If a State Department of Tourism survives the dream and does not include state parks, it will be a shame.

Management of state parks can be visually evaluated. Tourism is imaginary and absent metrics.

A rubber-tube, counting the number of cars and 18 wheelers turning in to an interstate 'roadside park', will tell us *nothing* about tourism.

And an age old, testosterone-laced Wildlife and Fish agency will never properly manage a park system of which we can be proud.

Excellent point. Consolidate the the school districts next. Mississippi could get rid of at least 50% of it's deep state along with their bullshit regulations, and watch the state launch.

If they cut the number of agencies what will the friends and relatives of politicians do for a job? Every single agency in both the state and federal could be cut by 50% and still have too many free loaders left.

3:09 It's a throwback to the time when every white man who owned more than one horse could be a superintendent, supervisor, judge, tax collector etc. The good ole days. Do we want to change that?

I have every confidence that our politicians and bureaucrats will work together to eliminate some of their positions. And now if you'll excuse me, I'm late for my rain dancing lesson.
