Cooperation has been in short supply for the last three years, as the Republican leadership of the two chambers has sparred over nearly every major issue, including the budget.
The 2026 Mississippi legislative session is getting down to the short rows, scheduled to wrap by the first week of April.
That means it’s time for lawmakers to bear down on setting an over $7-billion state budget, the main job of a legislature.

Below is a religious opinion column by Matt Friedeman:
Charles Spurgeon said that “Cheerfulness is next to godliness!” I am beginning to think he was right.
So we laughed and laughed and laughed. Spent the better part of two hours sipping our Cokes and escaping reality.
And it got me to thinking about the vital importance of it all.
I visited Lexington, Kentucky this week. My son wanted to take his dad out for a fun evening and got us tickets for a comedy show.

On April 10, 1925, the little-known writer F. Scott Fitzgerald quietly published a novel that went largely ignored. Despite letters of praise from esteemed writers like T.S. Eliot, Willa Cather, and Edith Wharton, "The Great Gatsby" was largely misunderstood and by the conclusion of the year had only sold around 20,000 copies. Even the stage adaptation and silent film, could not save the work from leaving the Twenties under the aegis of a "Jazz Age commercial failure."
