Mississippi Stories: Jeff Good
In this episode of Mississippi Stories, Mississippi Editor-at-Large Marshall Ramsey sits down with Jeff Good about how Jackson's continuing water crisis is pushing local independent restaurants to the brink.
Water is a huge part of a restaurant's operation from drinks to food preparation to hand washing to ice and when drinks and ice have to be bought, dwindling profit margins (down 75% due to inflation) are stressed. Good speaks on behalf of other restaurants in Jackson and how leadership needs to start communicating to find a solution.

SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers are facing final deadlines in the 2024 Legislative Session this weekend. The key issues in negotiation include Medicaid expansion, education funding, and the Public Employees' Retirement System. House Speaker Jason White has stated that the House is firm on expanding Medicaid to 138% of the federal poverty level to take advantage of the Affordable Care Act benefits. The Senate plan would expand Medicaid for those making up to 99% of the federal poverty level. The House and Senate conferees plan to meet in public to discuss these issues further. Medicaid expansion has been the ruling issue of this session, impacting around 200,000 Mississippians.
