@tatereeves In Mississippi where Tater Tot Reeves is Governor grocery tax is killing us, not even mentioning Medicaid and Hospital Closings and its all on YOU. You got the power and means to make everything better with the swipe of a pen, but you choose not to and blame Joe Biden.
@jenaglez@RepNancyMace@Angel10061968 Really????Not worth selling out our kids and grandkids!!! I guess they're worth it when getting those NRA CHECKS, huh?! ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ
Today, one of the biggest drivers of runaway spending is so-called entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, which make up more than 70 percent of our national budget. Medicare has 5 years before itโs insolvent. Social Security has 10 years if weโre lucky.
Trends emerging. 1. Crooked ass racist governor 2. Hospitals closing 3. Stealing welfare funds for rich buddies 4. Bad water. Should I continue???? #BRANDON PRESLEY FOR MS. GOVERNOR๐๐ฏ๐ชโค๏ธ
You donโt have to look all that closely to see that a trend is emerging in Mississippi.
That trend is more learning and greater academic achievement. Itโs better jobs and higher pay. And itโs strong economic growth and more opportunity for all Mississippians across our state.
Almost a year ago, Mississippi led the way to the greatest conservative win in a generation โ the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
ย
While Iโm extremely proud of the role that Mississippi played in this monumental victory, winning a court case was never our true objective. Rather, it was building a culture of life throughout our state and throughout our nation.
ย
Today in Mississippi, we are leading the way in advancing support for moms and babies.
ย
The legislation I signed today is further proof that when it comes to protecting life, Mississippi isnโt just talking the talk - weโre walking the walk.
ย
I signed House Bill 510 which establishes a foster parents bill of rights. The legislation increases transparency for foster parents, expands communication opportunities with professionals, and makes the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services personnel more readily available for foster parents.
ย
Additionally, it helps ensure that the educational needs of foster children are being met and provides access to available resources for parents.
ย
I signed House Bill 1671 which expands the tax credit for pregnancy resource centers across the state from $3.5 million to $10 million. This is a remarkable increase that will encourage private donations for the benefit of those who are helping women with limited resources navigate motherhood.
ย
I signed Senate Bill 2696 which creates an income tax credit for qualified adoption expenses. The program will cover a maximum of $10,000 worth of adoption expenses for those who adopt a child from Mississippi and $5,000 of expenses for children outside of Mississippi.
ย
The adoption process is far too expensive, and Mississippi has many children seeking loving forever homes. This legislation is an important step forward in helping to lower the barriers to adoption and unite children with the permanent families that they deserve.
ย
I signed House Bill 1149 which established the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services as its own agency separate from MDHS. This separation will give it the ability to draw down more federal funds to support Mississippi families.
ย
I signed House Bill 1625 which gives the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services the largest budget in its history. This equips the agency with the resources needed to effectively carry out its mission and better support Mississippi children.
ย
I signed House Bill 1318 which increases the opportunities available for parents to choose adoption by authorizing safe haven baby boxes across our state. The legislation increases the age that children can be dropped off at these boxes, authorizes safety devices to be sponsored by emergency medical service providers, and authorizes any city or county to sponsor a baby safety device.
ย
And I signed Senate Bill 2384 which establishes the Mississippi Task Force on Foster Care and Adoption. The task force will study Mississippiโs laws regarding foster care, adoption, and other related areas and make recommendations for improvement to the legislature.
ย
Weโre continuing to deliver on our promise to mothers and babies โ to get them the quality care they deserve. Mississippi will always protect life. Our state will continue to be a beacon on the hill, a symbol of hope for the country, and a model for the nation.
ย
As Iโve said before, Mississippi has moved to the next phase in our pursuit to build a culture of life. That phaseโฆ is the New Pro-Life Agenda.
ย
Now, this will not be easy, and it will not be free, but it is the right thing to do, and Mississippi is committed to doing it. Iโm confident that together, weโre going to continue to get the job done and deliver the support Mississippi mothers and babies deserve.
ย
Mississippi will be relentless in its commitment to life. We will be relentless in our support of mothers and children. And we will be relentless in our efforts to advance the New Pro-life Agenda.
