Are these volunteer positions or paid jobs?

Don't see an appointment for Jackson District Attorney.

$40 bucks per day. You lose money to serve.

He can't make that appointment.

this sheds light on the hundreds of boards , commissions, and administrative agencies created by the legislate so politicians can hand out do nothing jobs to thousands of people . check page 6.....the ireland - mississippi trade board???

check out the ms- ireland trade board page 6 .
what da hell they do? and what does that cost taxpayers? no one seems to know.

Donkeycrat Delbert has been promising to significantly pare back these numerous boards and commissions for 20 years.

I didn’t get appointed to anything. I’m pissed!

Didn't see any Alpha Mu's on the list. KA doesn't mean what it used to eh?

Nothing but a bunch of political favors! Early on in little Kim Jong-Un Reeves’ reign he wanted to abolish all these boards & commissions. Then our dictator realized he could sell these seats for political favors. Now he relishes in the appointments, so much so that he sends them out in a press release! Just like his mentor (Boss Hog Barbour), he’s using these appointments for his own future gain. However, our dictator is missing two fundamental elements-Boss Hog had political strength beyond this poor dump state & he at least had a like ability factor, neither of which our dictator has. Appoint away, oh little one. Unfortunately for you (but great for all of us), your reign of power is coming to a close. Buh-bye.

....and why MS is the most corrupt in the nation.

Do they get a govt. car, badge, and credit card?

Pay for Play. Lil' Trump appointed a higher up from Centene, the company that settled a fraud case with the state for 55 million, to the state board of pharmacy. Centene also happens to be one of the larger donors to Reeve's campaign.

How many of these appointments were made on a napkin at Tico's?

And we still have only seven justices on the MS Supreme Court.

Finding the total number of state government employees is all but impossible the way they are reported. And, then you add appointments which usually have at minimum per diem plus travel. Makes one wonder if government(both state and federal) and their "contracts" aren't our largest " employer" which also is a source of " power" for our legislators. Give it a try KF.

There was always a bill behind it.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI:

SECTION 1. The Legislature finds that:

(a) Over seven percent (7%) of Mississippi's 2022 population is of Irish descent, making it the third largest ancestry in the Magnolia State, with more than two hundred ten thousand (210,000) citizens claiming heritage from the Emerald Isle. Irish settlers came to Mississippi in several waves of immigration, and their legacy includes business and industry, political, religious, and civic activity. Former Mississippi Governor Gerard Brandon was the grandson of Irish immigrants; and

(b) Beyond historical ties, the Irish have long been important to Mississippi's economy. Based on federal data, Ireland is Mississippi's twelfth largest foreign trade partner, representing industries such as agriculture, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals. With a stable political environment and growing economy, Ireland is poised to advance bilateral trade and investment through direct relationships with Mississippi businesses, elected leaders, educational institutions, and markets.

SECTION 2. (1) For purposes of this section, "commission" means the Mississippi-Ireland Trade Commission.

(2) (a) There is hereby established the Mississippi-Ireland Trade Commission, which shall consist of ten (10) members, to be appointed as follows:

(i) The Governor shall appoint three (3) members, one (1) for an initial term of one (1) year, and two (2) for initial terms of two (2) years;

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

(c) All initial appointments shall be made no later than July 1, 2026. After the expiration of the initial term, all terms shall be for a period of four (4) years. A vacancy in the membership of the commission shall be filled in the same manner as the original appointment was made. A vacancy occurring during an unexpired term shall be filled for the remainder of the term.

(3) Appointed members shall serve without compensation at the will and pleasure of the appointing authority. The commission shall elect a chairman and such other officers as it considers necessary from among its members. A majority of the members of the commission shall constitute a quorum for the conduct of meetings, and all actions of the commission shall be by a majority vote. The commission shall meet, subject to call by the chairman, at least quarterly.

(4) The purpose of the commission shall be to:

(a) Advance bilateral trade and investment between Mississippi and Ireland;

(b) Initiate joint action on policy issues of mutual interest to Mississippi and Ireland;

(c) Promote business and academic exchanges between Mississippi and Ireland;

(d) Encourage mutual economic support between Mississippi and Ireland;

(e) Encourage mutual investment in the infrastructure of Mississippi and Ireland; and

(f) Address such other issues as determined by the commission.

(5) The Mississippi-Ireland Trade Commission shall be authorized to raise funds, through direct solicitation or other fundraising events, alone or with other groups, and to accept gifts, grants, and bequests from individuals, corporations, foundations, governmental agencies, and public and private organizations and institutions to carry out its purposes.

SECTION 3. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after March 17, 2026.

Can Tater even count to 100 without taking off his shoes/socks? Oh wait, he has an accounting degree.

6:45 PM That's the point. They want country club folk who don't need the salary but will steer state funds to their buddies.

Exactly!

You people are crazy and obviously none of you serve on a board. There is no pay, no per diem, no car, or any other ridiculous benefit you have imagined up. A state regulatory board is a lot of extra work and no fun. But they serve an important purpose. I mean, if you want licensed professionals who are providing you and your children care to have had training based on appropriate standards and would like a mechanism for complaints and disciplinary action if you receive substandard care. Take off your tint hats.

Where do i send my check? Erm, I mean CV.
