The Partnership

Join the Partnership

Membership is nonfinancial. Individuals sign a statement of support; municipalities join by an adopted resolution of the governing authority.

The statement of support

A Supporting Member signs a statement of support for the Partnership's policy position, the Mississippi Municipal Revenue Modernization Plan:

Less than a penny for the city. Not one penny more for taxpayers.

  • Confirm that collections are matched to the right city, so the existing law works as the Legislature wrote it.
  • Over six years, raise the cities’ share of the sales tax the State already collects to 30 percent. Nothing changes at checkout. And if State collections fall, the next step pauses.
  • Update the list of things cities may spend their existing online-sales money on, including police and fire equipment.
  • Require every city to publish what it receives and how it is used.

Signing is an individual act. An official's individual membership is individual support, and it is never presented as municipal action.

Municipalities: the resolution route

A city or town becomes a Member Municipality when its governing authority adopts a resolution supporting the Partnership's policy position. The municipality is published only after the resolution is received, verified, and posted.

The model resolution is published alongside the municipal support packet. A governing authority may adapt it to local requirements, such as formatting, numbering, and local recitals, so long as the resolution it adopts remains substantially the same.

How to submit an adopted resolution

  1. Download the model resolution and take it to your governing authority with the municipal support packet.
  2. Adopt it in an open meeting of the governing authority.
  3. Email the adopted, executed resolution as a PDF to resolutions@msrevenuepartnership.org.
  4. You receive an acknowledgment that the resolution has been received.
  5. A Partnership administrator reviews the resolution and uploads the verified document.
  6. The municipality appears in the member directory with its resolution number, adoption date, and a public link to the resolution.

Questions about the route can also go through the secure contact form.

Adopt the model resolution, become a Member Municipality, and have your resolution included in the statewide public record of support.
