They waited until the last few hours of the session before trying to forge an economic / jobs creation plan for the State. Their last minute attempt to strike a deal on a jobs develop package backed by the governor failed. Read more on Economic Problems not addressed by Missouri Legislators…

VAGUE sound bites on cutting taxes and removing regulations
