On Corporations: Tax giveaways are trouble when obligations aren't met

Every agency underwent budget cuts, some as severe as 18%. These are serious cuts to programs such as emergency management and mental health. Over the past 5 legislative sessions, tax cuts totaling over $620M have been doled out to special interests on the prayer that jobs will result. It is irresponsible to cut revenue when you cannot meet your current obligations. This is the situation--underfunded schools, local hospitals on the verge of closing and roads and bridges deemed dangerous. Source: Clarion-Ledger on 2018 Mississippi Senate race May 12, 2016
