Blunt encourages Japanese businesses to come to Missouri

Emphasizing the pro-business legislation passed by the 2005 General Assembly, Missouri Governor Matt Blunt, State Rep. Ron Richard, R-Joplin, and Director of Economic Development Greg Steinhoff met with Japanese businessmen in New York City Wednesday.
Blunt, Richard, and Steinhoff stressed the workers' compensation and litigation reform bills passed by the legislature and the Missouri Quality Jobs Act, according to articles in the St. Louis Business Journal and Kansas City Infozine.
"With its high quality of life, talented work force and low tax burden, Missouri is in a strong position to compete successfully in the global marketplace," Blunt said, according to the E-Zine article. "By reaching out to leaders in Japan and elsewhere we are positioning Missouri to create high-paying, quality jobs for our citizens."
