Jackson, Miss.— The following is a statement from Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann on the passage of House Bill 1.
“Today is a defining moment in Mississippi’s history in providing transformative tax relief for Mississippi citizens. After countless hours, we have reformed our tax structure to reward hard work, reduced the burden of grocery costs, fostered economic prosperity through stronger infrastructure, and initiated the long-term solvency of our retirement system for generations to come, a critical change that has been years in the making.
Historic pieces of legislation such as this do not come by a road easily traveled. The path is often rugged with many turns, requiring long debate and deliberation. Yet it is through the legislative process, driven by a shared vision for a more prosperous Mississippi, that we achieve these results.
While there is still work to be done, today we celebrate this step forward for our state and its future for generations.”
