White has said he would like to see the state's grocery tax cut at least in half, and the income tax eliminated.
Speaker Jason White names members of committee to explore state tax cuts by Taylor Vance, Mississippi Today June 3, 2024 House Speaker Jason White on Friday announced that 18 House members will explore ways to reduce the state’s grocery and personal income taxes ahead of the 2025 legislative session, making tax policy a top priority.
If White, who holds enormous power in the 122-member House, shows that a tax cut measure is one of his top priorities for the 2025 session, it’s almost certain he can get his fellow Republicans, who make up a supermajority in the chamber, to fall in line on the issue. But the larger question is whether he and House leadership can convince the Republican-majority Senate, led by Republican Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann, to agree to a tax cut plan along with Republican Gov.
