This week host Grant Callen sat down with Mississippi’s 36th Secretary of State Michael Watson to talk about removing barriers to opportunity, especially those related to education and work. Sec. Watson has been a longtime advocate for school choice, so they discussed why he believes giving parents more options will help kids, schools, and ultimately our whole state. They discussed why access to work is so important to Mississippi families. Sec. Watson has been chopping away at regulations and administrative bloat through his “Tackle the Tape” initiative, which aims to review all 118,000 regulations in Mississippi’s regulatory code and cut anything that is anticompetitive and that does not substantially further the safety and well-being of Mississippians.
