About This Document: Ken Pruett, president of the Mississippi Furniture Association, said that the goal of the group is simple: Support the industry and to keep jobs in Mississippi and the US. The industry itself is still strong, he says. But they're fighting imported products. To help keep those jobs in Mississippi, MFA is working on two proposals. The first is straightforward enough -- a $2,000 tax rebate for each existing cut-and-sew and related job, and an equal amount for each job that is brought into the state. MFA members are meeting with key legislators and hope to have the legislation introduced in both the state's house and senate this month. Another proposal is a foreign trade zone to equalize tariffs on imports and exports.
