Tim Jones on Nixon veto: This is why we need a Republican governor

(From Speaker of the House Tim Jones)

 House Speaker Tim Jones issued the following statement in response to the governor’s veto of SB 509:

“Unfortunately, I am not surprised that Governor Nixon has vetoed a bill which would have enacted meaningful tax reforms which would have helped Missouri’s working families.  This should serve as a reminder to the people of our state about the importance of having a Republican governor,” said Speaker Jones.  “Our outdated tax code is pushing businesses out of Missouri and taking too much money from our state’s families, and this bill would help provide relief for Missourians and make our state a pro-growth state.”
