GUNN REEVES By Bobby Harrison Daily Journal Jackson Bureau JACKSON – The fight over how and whether to provide additional funds for the state’s roads and bridges has led to the specter that the Mississippi Department of Transportation will not be funded during the 2017 session for the upcoming fiscal year that begins July 1. On Monday, as legislators worked to meet a midnight deadline to fund state government, the House and Senate leadership disagreement on additional funds for the state’s transportation needs led to the demise of the bill to provide the regular, annual funding for the Department of Transportation. House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, and his leadership team spoke of the need for a special session to fund the Department of Transportation before the new fiscal year starts.
Comment on Special session may be on horizon
