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 a penny more at checkout.

Confirm that collections are matched to the right city, so the existing law works as the Legislature wrote it.
Over six years, phase the cities’ share of the sales tax the State already collects to 30 percent — with no change to what anyone pays at checkout, and a pause built in to protect the State’s revenue.
Update what cities are allowed to spend the existing online-sales money on.
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.

The Partnership stores this application to verify the address, review the request, and maintain the membership record. Read the privacy notice, which includes the process to correct or delete your information.

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 briefing packet. The resolution is labeled a draft until the final version is posted at the same address; a governing authority should adopt the final version.

How to submit an adopted resolution

Download the model resolution and take it to your governing authority with the municipal briefing packet.
Adopt it in an open meeting of the governing authority.
Email the adopted, executed resolution as a PDF to resolutions@msrevenuepartnership.org.
You receive an acknowledgment that the resolution has been received.
A Partnership administrator reviews the resolution and uploads the verified document.
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.
