Tate Reeves in State of Mississippi secondary Archives


On Corporations: Reduce taxes and work with businesses, & jobs will follow

Reeves believes government should create an environment to encourage the private sector to create more jobs. He proposed the largest tax cut in state history through the Taxpayer Pay Raise Act, which lowers the personal income tax; allows for self- employed to increase deductions; and eliminates the corporate franchise tax. He supported helping job creators increase investment in their businesses by reducing the unemployment tax rate and boosting investment in workforce training.

On Crime: Strengthen public safety; more police officers in schools

Reeves pushed to strengthen public safety and make Mississippi a safe place to raise a family. The Legislature has passed laws to allow for the prosecution of attempted murder and to closely monitor sex offenders using GPS devices. He is committed to protecting 2nd Amendment Rights. Several new laws protect the state's most vulnerable citizens--children. Reeves' initiative to help school districts hire trained law enforcement for campus protection will place more officers in schools.

On Government Reform: Sunshine Act: transparent process for awarding contracts

He fought for transparency for how agencies spend taxpayers' dollars. Agencies are now required to post budget requests and disclose each source of revenue. Stronger reporting requirements were placed on taxpayer-funded incentive programs. He pushed the passage of the AG "Sunshine Act," which requires a transparent process for awarding legal contracts. The boards of public hospitals are required to operate in the sunlight so employees, patients and taxpayers can monitor the fiscal management.
