Cindy Hyde-Smith on Jobs |
Cindy Hyde-Smith: No. Says state and local leaders are best suited to determine wage policies.
Mike Espy: Yes. Supports a $15-per-hour minimum wage.
My family raises beef cattle and operates the local stockyard auction market in Brookhaven. I know what it means to run an agricultural business. Being well aware of regulations by both the state and federal agricultural departments, I understand the fine line between food safety and sound environmental policies without over-burdensome government regulations.
Agriculture is a driving force in our economy with one in four jobs in Mississippi being agriculture related. I will do everything in my power to protect the jobs we have and create more agriculture-related jobs by making sure Mississippi has a favorable business climate.
