Mississippi lawmakers vote to abolish income tax but made mistakes

  • The GOP-controlled Mississippi House and Senate passed plans to eliminate the state income tax and increase gasoline taxes, with the Senate narrowly passing its plan aided by four Democrats.
  • The House passed its tax reform package with bipartisan support, unlike the Senate.
  • Experts warned that eliminating the state income tax could harm Mississippi's ability to fund services and affect low-income residents the most due to regressive taxation.
  • Both chambers will now negotiate a final agreement through a conference committee, with House Speaker Jason White proposing new revenue sources to support the budget.
