Mississippi 2013 Legislative Roster MISSISSIPPI 2013 LEGISLATIVE ROSTER A portrait of Mississippi should include autumn leaves coloring the Natchez Trace, crops ;ourish- ing in rich Delta soil and Gulf Coast beaches gleaming in the sun. Old Man River and cypress swamps. Historic homes, courthouse squares and country stores. Mississippi is a beautiful place with a wealth of traditions. 8is is a place I am thankful to call home. As electric service providers, electric power associations take pride in powering the homes, farms and businesses of more than 1.8 million people who also call this state home. We are also proud to call them our members. Because we are electric cooperatives, our consumers are our members. 8ey attend annual meetings and elect local people to represent their interests on the cooperative’s board of directors. We encourage our members to stay in touch with us; listening and responding to those we serve is a part of our tradition. A portrait of our membership would depict hard-working people, strong in values and courageous in their e9orts to ensure Mississippi continues to be a great place in which to live and work. It is with this commitment that we join forces with them to be the collective voice for all 26 electric power associations. We are the Electric Power Associations of Mississippi, a statewide organization committed to common goals to ensure all Mississippians enjoy the bene:ts o9ered by one of our greatest resources, electricity. In a collective and cooperative manner, we have the power to move Mississippi forward. Just as a skilled artist paints a portrait, we will continue to blend the voice of our membership with the skills of our more than 2,850 employees to paint an even brighter portrait of our great state.

MISSISSIPPI 2013 LEGISLATIVE ROSTER The work of an elected official is not unlike that of the portrait artist. Both employ specialized skills and knowledge in problem-solving. Essential to the success of their efforts, whether legislative or artistic endeavors, are innovation, functionality and appeal. The Electric Power Associations of Mississippi presents the 2013 Legislative Roster as a tribute to Mississippi’s elected officials, who serve for the benefit of all Mississippians.

  • ACLU of Mississippi Is Proud to Present the 2015 Legislative Score Card
    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.
