Message: Dear GOVENOR
My concerns are for the well being of the people
of mississippi related to the ill effects of the lack of tort reform in this state. I presently own 4 grocery stores in the state of ms flora,bassfield,sumrall and stonewall. In stonewall where burlington is leaving after a long and healthy relationship with that town and the state mainly because of overseas competition but also because of high insurance but if something is not done great things like the nissan plant will be a thing of the past and small
factories will also lie in that past. The negative effect that has on small towns is devastating, also my concerns are health related because I used to be able to offer health insurance to my employees I had to make a decision based on the inabillity to obtain reasonable coverage after blue cross and blue shield has rated us up more than 57 % in two years I had to make the decision to not offer this to my employees I only employ around 200
people but that is 200 that i feel like needed insurance badly also my general liability has almost doubled with absolutly no claims in over 7
years they say the mississippi buisness climate is
not where they wont to be. MR GOVENOR i emplore
you to take a look at this issue and to take a stance for the people of ms for without buisness
there would be no jobs. My stake in this is strickly personal for if this continues my career
as i chose it is in jeopardy and my dreams for my kids are too.
