State fiscal context
Less than a penny for the city. Not a penny more at checkout. The Partnership's request is a paced schedule out of future collections — never a transfer from reserves. The State's own published record shows why that pacing is affordable.
Five years of closeout measures

Derived figure calculated from published inputs. Not an official reported total.

Download this table as CSV — Reported FY2027 reserve and set-aside components
Reserve and special-fund balances reported for FY2027 — $1.693 billion across retained reserve and special-fund sources — are dedicated or restricted funds, not unrestricted recurring revenue; that is why the Partnership asks for a prospective schedule from future collections and never a transfer from reserves.
The components above are reported separately and are not presented as a sum. Prior-year excesses are likewise never totalled as available cash.
What the record supports
Mississippi has demonstrated repeated revenue strength and maintains substantial reserves, while its current operating budget is tightly allocated. That record supports a prospective schedule with a revenue pause, not an immediate transfer from reserves.
The revenue pause is written into the 30 percent schedule: if actual adjusted General Fund collections decline year over year, the next uncompleted step pauses, completed steps are preserved, and the schedule resumes in the first growth year.
