SUMMARY: The per capita personal income for residents of Mississippi has increased by almost $9,000 since 2019, representing a pay raise of over 22%. This growth is more than double the increase seen in the previous four years.

Mississippi has also exceeded revenue expectations, collecting an excess of nearly $700 million in Fiscal Year 2023. This economic growth is credited to over $6 billion in new economic development projects, including the largest project in the state’s history.

Gov. Tate Reeves vetoes legislation reforming CON laws, cites willingness to negotiate with lawmakers
SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves has vetoed House Bill 569, intended to reform Mississippi’s certificate of need (CON) laws, which require healthcare providers to obtain government approval for significant expenditures. The bill aimed to raise the expenditure thresholds and assess exemptions for small hospitals regarding dialysis centers. Reeves opposed it due to a late amendment by Senator Hob Bryan, which he argued violated the separation of powers and interfered with ongoing litigation involving specific hospitals. While Reeves supports CON reform, he insists that any changes must be equally applied. He may address the issue in an upcoming special session focused on the state budget.
