House Speaker Jason White criticized longstanding practices, advocating for a transparent budget process, while Senate leaders expressed frustration over the House’s absence during crucial discussions. With no budget finalized, Governor Tate Reeves must call a special session to ensure funding by June 30, or face government shutdowns affecting over 100,000 employees. Special sessions incur substantial taxpayer costs, exceeding $100,000 per day.
