$66 Million Dollar Tax Package Sent to Blunt

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Missouri senators passed a $66 million annual package of tax breaks late Wednesday night. Passage of the measure came after lawmakers turned back an attempt to strip out a tax incentive for large-scale redevelopments of rundown parts of St. Louis.

Nuts, bolts and the rest are HERE.

“The Quality Jobs Act is the most important economic development tool we have had to help create family-supporting jobs with good wages and health care benefits; increasing its capacity from $12 million to $40 million will allow our state to remain competitive as we work to attract and retain quality jobs for hard working Missourians," said Gov. Matt Blunt in a statement.
