    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.

Congress St. P.O. Box 136 Ja~.:k.son, MS 39205 Secretary Hosemann, In a recent letter to Governor Phil Bryant, your Chief of Staff Doug Davis made several assertions regarding Senate Bill 2362 and House Bill 878 passed during the 2016 legislative session. In the letter, Mr. Davis identifies eleven sources of funds the Secretary of State intends to draw down in order to meet the $18,000,000 transfer requirement ofT-louse Bill 878. In e-ach section, he lists services and local tumbacks that may be effected due to these pieces of legislation. Unfortunately, Mr. Davis is mistaken as tu the impact of these bills. We hope this letter will clarify any misunderstanding you have regarding these new laws: I. $2,689,459 Elections Support Fund- The Secretary's request for authority to divert $1,21 5,000 from for FY20 17 was fully funded in SB2916. This transfer will have no effect on coumies or municipalities. 2. $1,936,543 Public Trust Tidelands Assessment Fund - Because the Secretary of State's Office views this fund as an off budget fund, there was no request of the Legislature for authority to spend from this account.

  • 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.
