A lawmaker responded to an email from a Gulfport woman saying he 'could care less' about her concerns and suggested she move out of Mississippi.
When Becky Guidry of Gulfport emailed freshman Rep. Karl Oliver, R-Winona, expressing her concerns about the tax breaks being considered by the Legislature, she was shocked by his response.
"It is irresponsible of our leadership to suggest eliminating income and corporate franchise taxes when: revenue projections are already down, budgets for various services are being cut across the board, funding for public education and other critical services such as child care, foster care and roads/bridges are underfunded," Guidry wrote in an email she said she sent to most representatives. "... If and when this bill reaches the full House for a vote, again, I urge you to vote No."
Guidry is referring to a bill that passed the Senate that would eliminate the corporate franchise tax and cut income taxes, resulting in $575 million in tax cuts over 15 years.
