Mississippi lawmakers fail to beat budget deadlines, making special session a possibility
SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers are struggling to finalize a budget for the state government after missing deadlines for funding that begins July 1, 2025. While the Senate convened for negotiations over the weekend, House Speaker Jason White allowed House members to leave, advocating for early budget discussions to ensure transparency and thorough review. Senate leaders criticized this decision, claiming it jeopardizes state services and accusing the House of delaying negotiations, as they sought agreement on around 70 budget-related bills. The failure to agree has led to two funding options: extending the current session or calling a costly special session.
