Mississippi Attorney General Releases Opinion Column

“Start acting like leaders” those are words Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood has for Legislators as he says they continue to pass unneeded tax cuts.
Hood released an opinion column to lawmakers today in part stating: “even a child understands that you can’t give away money that you don’t have. Rather than pass large, unneeded tax cuts designed only as means of pandering to those most able to make large campaign contributions, our state leadership needs to start acting like leaders. One reason Mississippi is in this current budget mess is because of the $350 million in tax breaks our lawmakers have handed out over the past few years. A mistake made more than once is a choice. In this case, it’s a bad one.”
