    @ISSUE • Legislature ends session with unfinished business • Special session ahead

    Analysts Austin Barbour and Brandon Jones join host Wilson Stribling to discuss the surprising ending of the 2025 Mississippi legislative session.

Governor Tate Reeves will surely call a special session, but what else could be on the table when the legislators return to Jackson? The team also looks at the successes and failures of the 2025 regular session, as well as the sweeping changes the tax reform bill may bring. Hosted on Acast.

    @ISSUE • Income tax cut via typo? • Sen. Josh Harkins interview • Public Employee Retirement System changes

    @ISSUE • Remembering Robert Clark • School choice • Tax reform • Presumptive eligibility • Mobile sports betting

    This week the House and Senate took up each other’s bills, and the sparks did fly. School choice and PERS reform appear dead, while presumptive eligibility and mobile sports betting are still alive. And the House and Senate tax reform bills are still on a collision course. Our @ISSUE team looks at these topics and more. We also pay tribute to the late Robert Clark, who served in the House from 1968 to 2004 and was the first Black Mississippi legislator elected since Reconstruction. Hosted on Acast.
