Welcome...

We have finally concluded the 2010 Legislative Session. In At A Glance, I have included some highlights from the Session.   

The following is a link for a recent press conference of the Mississippi House Republican Conference outlining  our budget principles that House Republicans adhered to throughout the Session:

With these principles, House Republicans played an integral role in insuring that the FY2011 budget did not include tax increases or require us to borrow against future generations to pay for current recurring expenses.  In difficult financial times, the challenge is to reduce the size of state government.  House Republicans were prepared to, and did, combat the impulse to raise additional revenue through increasing taxes.  While the FY 2011 budget is not painless, it is fiscally sound and serves to position the state toward economic recovery in the coming years. 

If you have any questions about any past, pending or future legislation, please do not hesitate call or write.
