SUMMARY: The governor of Mississippi refused to approve a recent revenue estimate, which some critics believe is because he wants to remove the state's income tax and is worried about a projected downturn in tax collections. State economist Corey Miller predicts a downturn in the state's economy next year due to higher interest rates and a low workforce participation rate. Governor Tate Reeves wants to reduce the state's personal income tax in 2022, but some lawmakers are skeptical due to the potential cost. The governor's deputy chief of staff disputes Miller's projections and believes the economic outlook is strong. Lawmakers are cautious and want to see revenue projections before making any decisions on tax cuts.

SUMMARY: The Mayor's office is disputing social media reports claiming the state has repossessed the stadium, suggesting that Republicans in the state legislature may be attempting to take control of city-owned property. The CEO of the venue was caught off guard by this possible power grab, as the land under the stadium was donated to the city for recreational and sporting events. A new state bill requires the state attorney general to determine if the city is using the land properly. The Mayor's office views this as a deceptive maneuver and is prepared to contest any attempts to repossess the property.
