One year ago today, Hall of Fame QB Brett Favre said he would repay Mississippi for welfare funds he received through a nonprofit for work he didn't do.

As @ayewolfe reports today, Favre still hasn't done so.

There's a lot going on in Holmes Co. school district, which has been rated as an F for 6 straight years. The state is conducting an investigation & appointed it a financial adviser who was previously accused of fraud https://t.co/t3SPtegXVV

Gov. Tate Reeves said he wanted to promote unity. Then he declared Confederate Memorial Day.

"We felt so much hope for progress after the flag changed. This man is undoing that, and he can’t even see it."

Gov. Tate Reeves gave no explanation on why he vetoed these projects, but one is in an area represented by a lawmaker who challenged his veto authority in court.

It’s past time to expand voting options for Mississippians. Our restrictive absentee & Election Day-only voting make it more difficult to exercise our right to vote.

Let’s give MS options by offering multiple days of secure, in-person early voting. #msleg

YOUNG, WOKE, AND VOTING: YOUTH CIVIC ENGAGEMENT IN MISSISSIPPI AND THE POWER OF OUR VOTES
—- MS Votes’ response to @MichaelWatsonMS comments on youth civic engagement https://t.co/d249bGRrSQ

[Rep. Zakiya Summers @zakiyasummers]

We must remain vigilant. We must be alert and stay aware despite officials’ disdain for wokeness. Imagine if there was as much protection of the 2A as there were for voting rights. #StayWoke

[Mississippi Votes #StayVocalActLocal @MSVotes]

More than one in five Mississippians don’t have health insurance, one of the highest percentages of uninsured in the U.S. The five highest are all Southern states, none of which has expanded Medicaid.

[Mississippi Today @MSTODAYnews]

BREAKING: A nonprofit has filed preliminary paperwork for ballot Initiative 76, which would put Medicaid expansion in the Mississippi constitution.

[Mississippi Today @MSTODAYnews]

ICYMI: Lawmakers are working to finalize a nearly $6 billion state budget and reach an agreement on Medicaid, criminal justice reform and other measures.

The playbook for Gov. Tate Reeves is simple: If data show that things are bad, question the data. If experts say things are bad, challenge the experts. If reporters ask why things are bad, blame the reporters.

He dragged us in yesterday.

[Brandon Jones @brandoncjones]

In Mississippi we routinely pass taxes to benefit communities of 10 people who haven’t hosted a tourist in 100 years but Jackson can’t get a bill passed unless 30 engineers, 50 accountants, and the Queen of England sign off on the proposal. It’s a double standard and we all lose.

The latest https://t.co/EBYe54qJUc

[Adam Ganucheau @GanucheauAdam]

The big question on the House tax plan was how it would affect Mississippi's poorest residents.

At long last, we have some numbers.

New study: Bottom 60% of the state's income earners would pay more in taxes, while the top 40% would pay less.

[Mississippi Today @MSTODAYnews]

An analysis says Mississippi's economy, personal income and population would decline under Gov. Tate Reeves' proposal to phase out individual income tax over a decade.
