Gov. Tate Reeves pushes income-tax cut, says critics rely on ‘myths’
SUMMARY: Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves has called on legislators to dismiss “myths” from opponents seeking to halt the state‘s income tax phase-out. Speaking at a conference, he emphasized that eliminating the tax is crucial for the state’s economic growth, akin to neighboring states like Florida and Texas. Currently, Mississippi is reducing its top income tax rate to 4% by 2025. While some lawmakers support further cuts, caution is advised to avoid fiscal pitfalls, referencing Kansas’ failed tax cuts in 2012. GOP leaders, however, argue that significant reforms could improve the state’s financial landscape and benefit taxpayers.
