he is with us tonight and we should all thank my friend joe sanderson. joe, thank you. [ applause ] >> so now we have a decision to make. how do we generate revenues to ma maintain and not place an undue burden among the working people of this state? both joe and i have offered a recommendation. there's no reason we cannot balance and increase in fuel tax if there is one with an equal and sufficient tax reduction. this tax cut does not need to apply to large corporations, they are and have been receiving the reduction in fuel costs for sometime now. it is the working families of mississippi i am concerned about. now i have full confidence in your ability to find common ground. i will work with your leadership to help do so for this session's end. i would be remised if i did not mention the 11 people in north miss mississippi, the 11 mississippiens that lost their lives in the tornados of december 2013. our prayers are with those affected by those terrible storms that struck just two days before christmas. i have directed the mississippi morning managemen
