“As long as I’m governor, Mississippi will always back the blue,” said Governor Tate Reeves. “Throughout the pandemic, our state law enforcement officers stepped up in a big way. They put their own health on the line and risked increased exposure to COVID-19 to do what they’ve always done – selflessly protect and serve our communities with honor and professionalism. They’ve earned every penny of this hazard pay, and I am proud to have authorized it. My administration will continue to do everything we can to ensure our state’s law enforcement officers receive the support and recognition they deserve.”
Governor Reeves made the announcement during a press conference that was broadcasted on Facebook Live. The full press conference can be viewed here.
It’s great news that law enforcement will receive the hazardous pay that they so deserve. However what about the teachers? We are at the forefront daily as well. We receive snippets of pay increases that disqualify, those of us that are single parents, from any governmental assistance; resulting in decreased pay due to having to pay high insurance costs. Teachers sacrifice themselves as well as time with their families for the sake a making sure that children within the communities receive a quality education.
What about Grocery Clerks? They are still working through pandemics and putting their lives at risk.
Gov Please Help your elderly people on social Security and retirement we cannot compete with the high cost lights and gas with the little money we get every month we need a stimulus check are some way to exempt us from paying something
What about factory/warehouse workers? We haven’t received anything when we’re out with Covid or during this pandemic. We can’t even get our benefits we are entitled to where I work. Factory/warehouse workers need help as well.
