Mississippi Senate advances tax reform bill, setting up future negotiations with House
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Senate has advanced legislation to reduce the state’s income tax to 2.99% by 2030 and lower the grocery tax from 7% to 5% by July 2025, aiming to provide financial relief amid bipartisan support. However, the plan includes a gas tax increase of 9 cents, funding infrastructure projects. While the Senate’s bill reduces taxes, concerns were raised about its impact on the state’s retirement system, which is only 56% funded. Opponents argued it could create future financial problems. Both the Senate and House have proposed tax reforms, which will be reconciled in conference committees.

Beyond the echo chamber: A conservative’s case for media diversity and why the tide has turned
SUMMARY: A Facebook friend suggested I should diversify my media sources, hinting that my reliance on Fox News limits my perspective. Although I lean conservative, I read various outlets, including the NYT and BBC, to avoid echo chambers. Liberals struggle to understand my support for Trump, but I have legitimate concerns about cultural and governance issues impacting future generations. Media, particularly the NYT, displays significant anti-Trump bias, yet I still seek their viewpoints. The media landscape is shifting, with conservative voices gaining prominence through podcasts and new outlets. Despite a liberal-dominated journalism industry, I maintain a balanced media diet.
