By Brandon PresleyJackson Advocate Guest WriterAbraham Lincoln once said, after losing an election, that he was “too old to cry and it hurts too much to laugh.” After the governor’s race, I know exactly what ole Abe meant. But, in a few days, I will be leaving as Public Service Commissioner with a heart full of gratitude for the trust, loyalty, and support that the people of north Mississippi have shown me for the past sixteen years.

Abraham Lincoln once said, after losing an election, that he was “too old to cry and it hurts too much to laugh.” After the Governor’s race, I know exactly what ole Abe meant. But, in a few days, I will be leaving as Public Service Commissioner with a heart full of gratitude for the trust, loyalty and support that the people of north Mississippi have shown me for the past sixteen years.

The legislative session just ended in Mississippi, and once again, Tate Reeves left working families behind and showed zero backbone to stand up for our rights as citizens. Like everything you and I know about Tate Reeves, there’s always plenty of money and government positions for his buddies and campaign contributors, but there isn’t ever enough money to fully fund public education or our rural hospitals. If you are regular folks, then he doesn’t know you and couldn’t care less about you.
