The original House use tax diversion/bond bill had $50 million in earmarked projects in it. But in first action on House floor, leadership passed amendment to remove those earmarks in special session of #msleg.

!! In HB1, the Legislature would create a special fund to pump state dollars into individual local projects that seemingly benefit key chairmen. I count 48 specific local projects written right in the bill. #msleg

The state of Mississippi has been building sports betting infrastructure in preparation for this SCOTUS ruling. Should have game up in matter of days. mississippitoday.org/2017/12/18/mis… #msleg

I have set Nov. 6, 2018, as the special election date for U.S. Senate. Candidates will have to qualify no later than 5 p.m. on April 24. A runoff, if necessary, will be on Nov. 27.

Top two candidates, if no one hits 50%, would run off two weeks later, not the normal three weeks later. That’s huge, obviously, for turnout reasons. Tuesday before Thanksgiving!!! x.com/nicholascarr/s…
