“The hospital is so large that if it were to close, we’d have to have seven Toyota-sized manufacturing plants to replace the economic value and salaries (of the hospital), which means it would never happen in our lifetime. Values of homes would drop 15% overnight.”

A Kaiser Family Foundation report notes there have been more than 400 studies on Medicaid nationwide. A majority of studies conducted about Medicaid expansion in Mississippi project net positive benefits economically, health-wise or both. buff.ly/3DXGOfh

“These are very legitimate questions of whether or not this money is really going to end up doing anything.” BP oil spill funds in Mississippi haven’t created many jobs. ⁦@CAnitaLee1⁩ ⁦@sunherald⁩ propublica.org/article/gulf-c…

$1.8 billion in federal funds gets sent to Mississippi lawmakers. They appropriate less than 2% to Jackson for water/sewer fixes we estimate would cost $1.7 billion. Here's a thread on Jackson's water crisis that some elected officials still aren't taking seriously. /1

A 3OYS investigative series estimated the Capital City’s water/sewer expenses at over $1.7 billion. wlbt.com/2022/04/08/law…

Apropos of... well, a lot: I talked in 2017 to several Republican lawmakers in Kansas who voted to eliminate their state's income tax. After their economy suffered, they all but begged Mississippi not to do the same. "Use us as a cautionary tale..." mississippitoday.org/2017/07/05/kan…

Just some factual context: Hospitals have been begging Gov. Reeves for CARES Act money bonuses to help keep nurses and other health care workers from leaving the state at alarming numbers. Reeves has been mostly silent on the request. (@MSTODAYnews stories below)

Gov. Tate Reeves announces $1,000 hazard pay (essentially a holiday bonus) for all state employed sworn law enforcement officers (about 1,750). Coming out of his office’s CARES fund dollars.

Think teacher salaries in Mississippi are low? Try deducting taxes, retirement contributions, and insurance premiums. According to new data from @srebeducation the average FIFTEEN YEAR VETERAN is taking home just $28k a year

How many times have we heard MS’s leaders say they don’t have the money to (fix roads/fund schools/expand healthcare)? Well, now they have the money, but things still aren’t getting done. mississippitoday.org/2021/09/20/mis…

Today the state has surpassed all previous highs in Mississippians hospitalized for COVID-19. Hospitals are operating at emergency capacity to cope with the incoming flood of COVID-19 patients. Of the nearly 1,500 now in a hospital for COVID-19, more than 1,300 are unvaccinated.

Unvaccinated Mississippians are 40x more likely to be hospitalized and 28x more likely to die than the vaccinated -- which actually understates the disparity since the vaxxed population skews much older than the unvaxxed. Please, please get your shots. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

There were ZERO available ICU beds in Mississippi as of early this morning. None. That means hospitals across the state may not be able to provide the level of care needed to you or your loved one. Not just for COVID-19 but FOR ANY EMERGENCY CARE.

Today's 3-day total of new reported #COVID19 cases sends Mississippi's 7-day average to 1,673. Look at how much faster that average has climbed in this surge compared to last summer. Our test positivity rate is now 19%, based on new weekly test numbers released today. #wlbt
