This reeks of Brice Wiggins politics.

That guy loves power plays.

Reform for the sake of reform, always leads to the need for more reform.

They'll pass some youth court bill that will accomplish nothing, yet pass the costs of it to the local taxpayers as an unfunded mandate, and cause property taxes to go up. Property taxes are what funds these unfunded mandates passed down to counties by the legislature. They'll pass a bill, but send no money with it to cover what the bill costs to implement on the local level.

Nothing can be accomplished on the voter intiative idea, huh Tater. In the spirit of America 250 our forefathers fought and died fighting despots who cannot hold a candle to the narcissist power hungry Politicians we have today locally and nationwide 🤔

On the very last day of the session, House leadership adjourned and left the Capitol for the year around 4:00 PM. Meanwhile, on the other side of the building, Senate Judiciary Chairman Brice Wiggins was literally standing at the podium presenting the bill, completely unaware the House had already packed up and gone home. Because the House had adjourned, the bill instantly died. We need to start docking pay for not doing your part-time, seasonal job.

That's about as clear as mud....why can't they just explain it in simple terms?

Who pays for this? If the governor wants it then let the state pay for it. It better not come back to my county property taxes bill! ! What these little nut heads need is a butt whipping not an another judge! Lots of talk of less government. Actions show otherwise

Confusing to those of us who are not among the elite. But, since Brice Wiggins is involved...a call of High Alert is issued. It's also suspicious when Tate's writer gets wordy.

What we need Pappy is to get ourselves some of that there re-form

There is a real problem to be fixed. Let's just say the fiasco wound up protecting child molesters. Leg is having to come back and fix the law. Mississippi Today has two good stories on it. I linked one of them.

For years, Mississippi colleges and universities didn't have BSWs and MSWs degrees and as a silly policy wouldn't recognize the experience or degrees of those moving here because their lack of qualifications here wouldn't pass muster in other states.
I hope too, like in other states, those in Child Protective Services have to be the most experienced social workers and there needs to be a good relationship with the Sheriff's department in every county. Those sheriffs and their deputies may be going with the social worker to protect her when she has to remove a child from their parents. I'm still not sure the department has gotten rid of all the employees who had " years in" but no " experience" as I was recently appalled by a placement. Indeed, some foster care placements have appalled me as well. It's a bit of culture shock to move children from poverty into a wealthy home where the adults have zero education in or understanding of the cultural, social and economic adjustments the child will confront.

7:18 am, Brice Wiggins personifies why people hate politicians.

He has a history of acting without regard for the people who actually have to live with the repercussions of his personal agendas. His word means nothing, and he’s drunk on the power of his “elite” position.

And your implication that those of us who call it out are simply ignorant or illiterate makes me suspect you might actually be Brice Wiggins.

Not their fault….had to get to Tico’s you know.

The Twitter Yappy Dog loves him some Brice Wiggins.

The word Buffoonery, in any American English dictionary compares Wiggins and J. England, both who foolishly see themselves in the Lieutenant Governor's chair one day.

And that is how we run this state boys. . Deny, delay and eventually it doesn’t matter so it continues to snowball. For instance, hinds county supervisor Archie/Smith. That is so corrupt, it is like low hanging fruit that is easy to be seen and corrected. It isn’t a difficult case. But the governor is as bad as the hinds county DA office has always been in releasing career criminals. The king in charge delays until it doesn’t matter any more. No action causes the same damage the wrong decision does. The problem still exists unattended. The simple truth outside the character noise is that this case could be the beginning of something new and unheard of here. You know where the leaders and election forces are held accountable and it forces transparency so that corruption cannot proliferate. When left unattended, corruption morphs and snowballs and you end up with the current results: capital of the state is a mess, prior leaders in prison or should be, crime out of control, state ranked low in all quality of living standards and medical care in this state is 5-10 years behind he national standards. I could go on and on but if YKYK. I see absolutely no difference between the political parties here. They all have the same color: murky, dark where greed is clothed in darkness.
