During the September 11th veto session, for the 97th General Assembly did not overturn the Governor’s veto of HB 253. Now, lawmakers turn to the Governor for his solution to keep jobs in the state, since he felt HB 253 was not the answer.
“The legislature is committed to the lowering taxes for Missourians while adequately funding education and social service programs,” noted Speaker Pro Tem Hoskins. “Ultimately, this was a political battle, in which our state lost. We must find a compromise to keep Missouri business and jobs from bleeding to other states, and forcing the increased financial burden on those families and companies that loyally remain in Missouri. I have yet to hear a detailed plan from the Governor on how to grow Missouri by attracting new jobs. It is time for the Governor to join us in leading Missouri toward growth and prosperity, rather than fighting lawmakers for political supremacy.”
Missouri Lawmakers are committed to lowering taxes, and expect to introduce legislation similar to HB 253 during the next session. The highly anticipated second session of the 97th General Assembly begins January 8, 2014.
