Title: QUORUM | MPB 3-24-2010 - Focus on Jobs
Runtime: 58:09
Date posted: 17 years ago
Description: The March 24th edition of QUORUM on MPB focuses on the state's economic and employment prospects.

Thousands of state workers now face furloughs as agency heads look for relief from the budget crunch. Lawmakers have little choice but to cut funding levels across the board, as Mississippi faces some its lowest revenue levels in years. From the Governor's Mansion to the Capitol rotunda, there's wide agreement that solid job growth offers the best hope for reinvigorating the state's economy and refilling state accounts. But is the private sector ready to bring life to that hope, and chip away at our rising unemployment rate?

Our panel consists of Gray Swoope, executive director of the Mississippi Development Authority; Mississippi Economic Council president Blake Wilson; and Maury Granger, chairman of the Department of Economics at Jackson State University. We also have excerpts from an interview with Rep. Rufus Straighter (D), House Labor Chairman, who re...

QUORUM | MPB 3-10-2010 - Education Pressures

Title: QUORUM | MPB 3-10-2010 - Education Pressures
Runtime: 55:52
Date posted: 17 years ago
Description: State lawmakers have put 2010 budget talks behind them, but they have yet to write the 2011 budget. Revenue has fallen for 18 straight months, and educators are among those planning for deep cuts in state support. Teachers may have to make big sacrifices, in the form of furloughs, pay cuts and larger class sizes. Meantime a governor's panel considers the complicated task of streamlining Mississippi's system of school districts -- but even this work offers little relief for hard-pressed schools.

In this 3-10-2010 edition of QUORUM, we bring three unique voices into the discussion on Mississippi's efforts in public K-12 education. Our live panel includes Kevin Gilbert, president of the Mississippi Association of Educators; Executive Director Sam Bounds from the Mississippi Association of School Superintendents; and Susan Womack, Executive Director of the Parents for Public Schools/Greater Jackson.

Title: QUORUM | MPB 3-3-2010 - On The Move
Runtime: 56:57
Date posted: 17 years ago
Description: In a state as sparsely settled as Mississippi, transportation matters are critically important. Our highways, railways and bridges form more than infrastructure -- they support our economy and they help delineate and define our society and our culture. But much of our existing transportation system is worn at the edges, and serious warnings about bridge and road safety compete with budget concerns for the attention of Mississippi's lawmakers. Federal stimulus efforts have pumped millions of transportation dollars into the state's economy, but Governor Barbour complains of an inefficient process by which job creation fetches a high price. Can Mississippi provide the links needed by prospective industries to get their products quickly to market? We'll also review a wide range of safety concerns and associated legislation on the 3-3-2010 edition of QUORUM. Guests include Mark cConnell, asst. chief engineer for MDOT Field Operations; Bethany Stich, asst. professor of public administr...

QUORUM | MPB 2-24-2010 - Healthy Choices

Title: QUORUM | MPB 2-24-2010 - Healthy Choices
Runtime: 57:30
Date posted: 17 years ago
Description: By many measures, Mississippi remains the least healthy state of the union. Issues of affordability and access too often keep our citizens beyond the reach of quality health care. And for lawmakers who seek to help these folks, the task is more challenging than ever.

Medicaid serves one in four Mississippians today, and the economic downturn may drive that number higher yet. But the program faces budget cuts and a resulting loss of matching funds from the federal government. Will reform efforts in Washington help the cause of coverage? Does Governor Barbour have a cure for what's ailing the state's health care services? We consider these questions in this 2-24-2010 edition of QUORUM.

Panelists - State Economist Marianne Hill, Mississippi State Medical Association president Randy Easterling, and Mississippi Health Advocacy Program executive director Roy Mitchell.

Measures on texting on the roads, boating under the influence, and domestic violence are also under consideration. But in a year when budget shortfalls preclude "business as usual", what of the business of public safety? What of the impact on district attorneys' offices, and law officers on the state and local level?.

Title: QUORUM | MPB 2-3-2010 - K-12 and Beyond
Runtime: 56:57
Date posted: 17 years ago
Description: Time and again, education is cited as a key factor behind everything from economic prospects and revenue growth to health issues and safety. But, even as state education leaders cite progress in standards and accountability, they face pressure to do more in the classroom with fewer resources. How will the state's K-12 and higher education systems cope with hundreds of millions of dollars in lost state funding? And how might proposed consolidation efforts affect quality and access in Mississippi education? We consider these pressing questions and more with a panel of Mississippi's top education officials: Dr. Tom Burnham, State Superintendent of Education; Dr. Eric Clark, Executive Director of the State Board for Community and Junior Colleges; and Dr. Hank Bounds, Institutions of Higher Learning Commissioner.
