KY3 NEWS @ 6: HULSHOF SAYS MISSOURI'S ECONOMIC CLIMATE "IN A GOOD PLACE," CITES THIS BALL STATE UNIVERSITY STUDY

ALSO: SAYS NIXON WILL UNDO TORT REFORM

TEAM NIXON RESPONDS TO TORT:

"Jay Nixon supports reasonable limits on law suits, but our economy is in shambles right now and we need to think bigger," said spokesperson Oren Shur. "The economic policies coming down from Washington have caused Missouri families to worry about paying their bills and keeping their jobs. In this campaign, Jay Nixon is focused on putting forward ideas to turn this economy around."

UPDATED 10:27 P.M. . . . SHUR RESPONDS TO HULSHOF STATEMENT:

"In Washington, Congressman Hulshof continues to vote for the failed economic policies that helped create this economic mess. Then the Congressman comes back to Missouri and runs around the state telling everyone the economy is doing just great. It’s as if Congressman Hulshof is completely unaware of the 45,000 Missourians who lost their jobs after he voted to help corporations outsource jobs to China. Or completely oblivious to the fact that families can’t afford gas or health care or college. Congressman Hulshof certainly does not represent the kind of change we need here in Missouri," Shur e-mailed The Notebook at 10:27 p.m., after viewing what Hulshof said Wednesday.
