Mississippi House passes mobile sports betting + Highlights from the FY2025 Budget

Mississippi House voted 97-14 to allow sports betting via mobile device, as long as DraftKings, et. al. partners with a Mississippi casino. Expected to bring in $25-$35 million per year.
The Governor's FY25 Budget Proposal Highlights:
1. Implementing the following income tax schedule:
2026: 3%
2027: 2%
2028: 1%
2029: 0%
2. The proposed budget appropriates $30 million to airports, ports, and railways for modernization.
3. Create a Parents' Bill of Rights in education
4. Appropriate $5 million towards a Patriotic Educational Fund. MDE would issue local grants for patriotic educational programming.
5. Governor Tate Reeves wants to increase Capitol Police funding by $10.35 million as its jurisdiction expands this year.
6. The Governor wants to establish a "Women's Bill of Rights." The supporting legislation would recognize and codify the biological differences between men and women.
7. Cut $81 million for higher ed, $37 million for IHL (4 year colleges), $44 million for community colleges

On one hand I don't like this idea. On the other, I'm sure there's $5 million in waste at each state university.

One thing is for 100% sure, if they have 5mil more than they needed, they ain't saying it and ain't giving it back. In fact, probably would say they need more money just to prepare for next the next allocation.

Or use it an an excuse to raise tuition instead of laying off a few assistant associate deans.
