Some Mississippi politicians debating whether some positions should be appointed instead of elected
SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves is aware of the ongoing debate in Jackson regarding whether some elected officials should transition to appointed positions, but he is inclined to let the legislature decide. State Insurance Commissioner Mike Cheney advocates for his role to become appointed, yet faces opposition from Public Service Commissioner Chris Brown. Brown argues that such a change would concentrate power away from voters, transferring it to a select few bureaucrats and lobbyists. The discussion continues as stakeholders navigate the potential implications of these proposed changes.
