His new monicker is R. T. Lamar. Roundabout Typo Lamar, Esq.

So...the GOP can't even " play nice" with one another. Can't wait to see what judges would do to .85% ( less that 1 percent for the math challenged) vs 85% should there be a legal challenge. That will cost tax dollars! And, that they cost us citizen $100000 a day should be our motivation to elect people who can get things done by persuasion rather than the " my way or the highway" bullies. " The Art of Diplomacy is Letting Someone Else have YOUR WAY" Sir David Frost.

In my humble opinion, I wish there was a Marine General who could come down and absolutely scream at every single legislator. They are either in front of a camera, shaking hands and kissing babies, playing the I'm-just-a-country-boy, or taking things from lobbyists.

You needed to do a budget. Its not new. But instead of handling it, they asked like little children.

You needed to fix the campaign finance laws. But that just hit a little too close to home so you farted around and blame each other.

This applies to the Speaker, the Lt Gov, and all legislators. Shut the hell up and actually do your friggin jobs. Now we have to pay for a special session. Everyone of you, drop and give me 20.

"using .85% rather than 85%, basically eliminated future thresholds the Senate had designed to slow tax cuts if future revenue growth declines"

I don't think that's a typo. I think Trey Lamar did that intentionally and snuck it through. What a complete POS.

In any event, it materially-altered the bill, and what was presented to the governor was not what the senate thought it had approved. Then Tate Reeves signed it, knowing it was very different that what was intended.

If this process were a business transaction or lawsuit, identical conduct by the parties or by lawyers would never be accepted. The deal would be nullified and the lawyers would be sanctioned, and any court order resulting from it would be revised.

But in the capital, they take the win and pat each other on the back because they got their way, and to hell with everyone else.

We need an enforceable code of conduct for elected public officials, starting with Trey Lamar.

These guys scared a lot of people with their incompetence this session. They need to understand that. Fear will get a bitch voted out faster than anything.

@12:15pm - Reading comprehension is key. Lana didn’t alter the bill, the Senate sent it over to the House with the 0.85% “typo” (instead of 85%). The Senate f’d up, and Lamar took advantage of it by bringing it up for vote exactly as the Senate sent it across. He could’ve said, “Hey guys, I see there’s an obvious typo here, I know you didn’t mean to send it across this way, let’s figure something out.” This is on the Senate leadership for letting it go to the House that way and giving Lamar the opportunity to push it through.

And TX legislators meet every other year ….It’s all on the Republicans and has been for sometime in MS… no one else to point at Reminds me of the “who’s on first skit” Morons

“The two Republican-led chambers have been at odds over most everything this legislative session,” wrote Mississippi Today reporter Taylor Vance.

Err... I think we all know the Senate isn't "Republican-led" and it hasn't been for years. (Right, Delbert?)

You people need to calm down about decimal points and other math-trivialities.

Your misplaced fear is like thinking having the number of congressional districts wrong would affect our right to legalize medical marijuana or to continue with a citizens' initiative.

Good Grief, Gertie. If your elected representatives won't protect your rights, who the hell will?

And several of them have already told you, 'There's plenty of time in the future to correct the math!' And if you don't like it, there's always a citizens' initi......WAIT.

I respectfully disagree. Its on all of them.

hahahahaha good one.

Cartoonist Marshall Ramsay cleverly captured the promises as an April Fool’s joke.

BFD. Few people in this state give a crap what Marshall thinks. That is why working for the Barksdalers is a perfect fit for him.

Absolutely on ALL of them....every single Legislator and Senator should have been screaming at Lamar back into his seat for even suggesting, "Hey, we have an opportunity....".

The Senatobia Baptist Church ought to have a few sermons on "works" that glaring apply to the Lamar criminal syndicate that their town does truly hate.

This is why so many folks hate Mississippi. They espouse the Gospel, but are raging sociopaths underneath who then say, "If you don't like it, leave. You in Mississippi."

6:16, Since the first century the New Testament has placed the onus on the church to call out its own wayward members. Where we fall short is in actually doing it.

What's relatively new is that being churchy gets votes, and bad-intentioned people and conmen can get the benefit of the doubt by putting religion on display.

MS Legislature = Dysfunctional and Useless
