“The Mississippi Economic Council is thankful for Governor Tate Reeves’ commitment today to sign a state flag change bill. We applaud Governor Reeves’ announcement and appreciate his recognition of the importance of this issue to all Mississippians. Recent days have seen thousands of Mississippians from across our state coalesce around the belief that now is the time for this important change,” said Mississippi Power President and CEO Anthony Wilson, who serves as Chairman of MEC. “Along with the great leadership on this issue of Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann and Speaker Philip Gunn, Mississippi is fortunate to have all three of its key state leaders and many Legislators committed to this important work.
