As the Missouri legislature moves into its final weeks, the LMC is reminding legislators of its positions on outstanding issues, including:
•Opposition to the "TABOR" (taxpayer bill of rights) proposal
•Opposition to tax cuts until budget cuts of recent years have been restored to programs that foster economic development and provide critical services such as Medicaid, education, the arts, childcare subsidies for working parents and others.
•Support reasonable and effective economic development incentives, such as the expansion of the Quality Jobs Act
•Support prevailing wage in its present form, and thanks fot he legislature and the governor for signing legislation that established rules for public sector project labor agreements and strengthened prevailing wage enforcement.
The LMC appreciates that the Kansas legislature did not pass any TABOR legislation.
Please contact Bob Jacobi with any questions.
