Mississippi 2014 Legislative Roster MISSISSIPPI 2014 LEGISLATIVE ROSTER The mighty Mississippi River, as it flows down our western border, is but one of many majestic sights in our great state. For 48 years, the covers of our annual legislative rosters have displayed the beauty Mississippians hold dear and tourists come to see. We take pride in the rich traditions and resources our state offers. Our greatest resource, however, is our people. This roster includes hundreds of dedicated servants who have chosen to represent us in state govern - ment. They spend untold hours using their skills and talents to move Mississippi forward. We convey our thanks to each of them for their valuable contributions in serving our people. We are the Electric Power Associations of Mississippi, a statewide association committed to common goals to ensure all Mississippians enjoy the benefits offered by another great resource, electricity. In a collective and cooperative manner, more than 2,850 dedicated employ - ees of 26 electric power associations use their unique skills daily to maintain a complex electrical system that serves more than 85 percent of the state’s land mass. We provide the outlet to power the homes, farms and businesses of more than 1.8 million people who call this state home. Because we are electric cooperatives, our consumers are our members. They attend annual membership meetings to elect local people to represent their interests on their cooperative’s board of directors. We encourage our members to stay in touch with us; listening and respond - ing to those we serve are among the most vital of our traditions. We look forward to working with all Mississippians in 2014 to ensure our traditions continue to move Mississippi forward.

MISSISSIPPI 2014 LEGISLATIVE ROSTER Any bridge spanning a waterway as powerful as the Mississippi River must be strong, durable and designed to serve our needs far into the future.

    A Measurement of Progress on Issues of Equity and Inclusion in Mississippi. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 3 2015 Legislative Score Card 7 Commitment to Criminal Justice Reform 8 Extend Equality to All Mississippians 11 Guarantee Freedom of Speech, Expression, Protecting Privacy & Public Access 17 Other Legislative Actions 18 Other Resolutions 18 The Scorecard 19 House of Representatives 20 Senate 25 Notes 27 Introduction Mississippi’s statistics about disparities in education, employment, health, incarceration and other equitable opportunities are all too familiar. Familiarity with the dismal indicators, however, cannot breed acquiescence. This does not have to be the legacy of our state. We do not need governmental leadership nor Mississippi’s citizens to accept being last. Instead, we need courageous leadership with an intentional commitment to equity, a willingness to change the narrative and genuine community engagement. Mississippi is Failing to Thrive. It is time we stop being last. www.aclu-ms.org 3 Mississippi has some of the highest equity disparities in the country. Poverty Mississippi continues to be the poorest state in the nation. • “While working hard, many of Mississippi’s families fall short of economic security. According to an analysis of data from the U.S. Census, approximately 42% of Mississippi’s working families are low-income and 22% of residents live in poverty.” (http://mepconline.org/category/policy-areas/income-working-families) • Alongside poverty, disparity continues to loom. For children the poverty rate is 35%, for senior citizens the poverty rate is 18% and for women the poverty rate is 25.9%. There are 253,000 Black children below 200% poverty.

  • Speaker Ryan and Leader Mcconnell: We Write to Share Some
    Speaker Ryan and Leader McConnell: We write to share some of our reactions and concerns about the recently introduced American Health Care Act. First, we share your goal of repealing and replacing Obamacare as quickly as possible. Americans deserve the right to affordable and accessible healthcare and significant change is needed to reduce healthcare costs, making it affordable to be and stay healthy so that they can pursue a living, keep more money in their pockets, and focus on the priorities in their lives. There are many elements of the proposed bill that are encouraging as they address decades-old problems in our healthcare system, and embrace proven solutions like the expansion of HSAs. We especially applaud efforts to reform Medicaid. As state leaders that must balance our budgets each year we know first-hand that Medicaid has been growing at an unsustainable rate and is crowding-out spending on other priorities like education and public safety as well as hindering tax relief in our state. We look forward to continued conversations about the additional state flexibilities that must be incorporated into any Medicaid reform in this bill, in addition to future legislation. We affirm your goal of converting an open-ended entitlement to a program with a budget. This would be one of the most significant entitlement reforms in the nation's history. This bill offers a historic opportunity for reform, but without some changes to the bill we fear the opportunity might slip away. To fulfill the promises we made to our constituents in our states, we worry that the bill as introduced does not go far enough to address the immediate needs facing us in our Medicaid programs.
