Jefferson City, MO – Missouri Governor Bob Holden wants the Republican-led Legislature to eliminate four tax breaks - primarily effecting businesses - as a way to raise money for state education.
The cost to taxpayers: $44 million for the current school year, and about $80 million next year.
But Representative Jeff Harris, a Democrat, says he believes the governor's plan is "dead on arrival in the House."
And Republican House Speaker Catherine Hanaway says no one is being helped by a second special session, considering that the issues already failed in a June special session and in the regular
legislative session.
