Mississippi Lt. Gov. Hosemann unveils $326 million ‘sustainable, cautious’ tax cut plan
SUMMARY: Republican Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann proposed a $326 million tax cut plan that reduces state income tax and grocery sales tax while increasing the gasoline tax to fund road maintenance. Over four years, the plan aims to lower the income tax from 4% to 2.99%. Hosemann emphasized the need for sustainability in tax reform, contrasting his more conservative approach with a more aggressive House proposal that aims to eliminate the income tax entirely over a decade. The Senate plan will soon be discussed with the possibility of negotiation with the House before heading to Gov. Tate Reeves for consideration.
