Clashing agendas? Hosemann to prioritize grocery tax reduction as Reeves continues to call for eliminating income tax
SUMMARY: Mississippi’s top officials are heading into the 2025 legislative session with divergent tax priorities. Governor Tate Reeves aims to eliminate the state income tax, labeling it a “tax on work.” Conversely, Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann seeks to reduce the state’s 7% grocery tax, the highest in the U.S., emphasizing its immediate relief for residents amid rising costs. The Senate leader believes slashing the grocery tax is more manageable than eradicating income tax, which constitutes 28% of the budget. House Speaker Jason White supports both goals, advocating for a gradual tax elimination strategy. Reeves has yet to comment.
