I’m all for bringing revenue and good-paying jobs to our state, but if our elected officials are going to safeguard taxpayer money, they must be allowed opportunity to review the details and debate the pros/cons. I’m pleased to see the bipartisan call for accountability.
If you believe this “aluminum” plant is going to open, employ thousands of Mississippians, and be a sound investment of public money; I have a beef plant, a clean coal plant, a family resource/volleyball center, and some oceanfront property in the “Golden Triangle” to sell you.
jim_sinclairjr It isn't the same Russian dude who backed out of a plant deal in KY🤔
Can you say ANOTHER MAGAt GRIFT, Boys & Girls? 🧐 KKKorrupt Gov Reeves caught red-handed STEALING more money from the taxpayers & poor just to pay for his current scam. He's in cover-up mode now. 🤣😂🤣😂😜
'...Reeves said, adding he is moving quickly to pass the project at the behest of the company.' When you say the quiet part out loud
The only reason they have problems is because the Republicans & Democrats did not have a chance to get there greedy hands in the pot. Like what they have done with medical marijuana.
The faster it goes through, the more money that Tater’s buddies get.
Ssimms777 Look for the kick backs and big donations direct and as dark money.
Democrats and republicans in the legislature…need to join forces and help us find our next governor, preferably one that understands his position and duty.
Great Air pollution from fossil fuels and when the aluminum is melted. The melting process releases furans, dioxides, hydrogen chloride and particulate matter. Furans may be one of the worst toxic pollutants in the air. dontdirtymymississippi
This is from a member of the MSGOP 'He said that is dangerous because there have been instances when the companies did not meet commitments they made, “leaving taxpayers on the hook” for those funds.' So you know this deal tatereeves cooked up is crooked!
Truth, honesty, and transparency can never be attributed to this governor. He will call a special session to give away millions in corporate welfare but is unwilling to address healthcare in a state that’s at the bottom in most all rankings.
Haven't we been down this road before...
Question and question again. It’s the right thing to do. Nobody should be upset about transparency.
When will we ever learn?
So Tate has been working on the biggest ED deal in MS history for 4 months but he didn’t tell anyone about it and now he wants it passed in a day because the unknown company he’s been talking to is really in a hurry to get it done. Hmmm
