Lynch Chapter 5 The Contest for Speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives The elections being over, and a Republican majority in both branches of the legislature being assured, Governor Alcorn was then prepared to vacate the office of Governor, to turn over the administration of state affairs to Lieutenant Governor Powers, and to proceed to Washington so as to be present at the opening session of Congress on the first Monday in December when he would assume his duties as a United States Senator.

The legislature was to meet the first Monday in the following January, 1872.

As soon as the fact was made known that the Republicans would control the organization of the House, the speakership of that body began to be agitated.

State agencies have now submitted their budget requests for the next fiscal year to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee.

That committee, consisting of six members of the State Senate and six from the House, and chaired by the Speaker of the House with the Lieutenant Governor serving as Vice Chair, will now review these requests, agency by agency, in light of the most recent revenue projections.

They will then make their budget recommendations in the 2027 legislative session, which begins in January.

During the current fiscal year, the state's budget tops $32 billion, with a large portion coming from federal funds, much of which is already earmarked for specific uses.

We welcome Lucien Smith and Brandon Jones to our At Issue roundtable.

Lucian is an attorney, the former chief of staff to Governor Phil Bryant, and a former chairman of the Mississippi Republican Party.

Brandon is also an attorney and a former Democratic member of the Mississippi House.

I like to say I, I play in a little band, it's the house band.

It's the Mississippi House of Representatives, six of us plus me, only because there wasn't a drummer in the legislature, and they called me up-
