AP Ponders A Session of "No"

With about 24 hours left in the legislative session, Missouri's wire service notes that major initiatives are currently stalled.
***
Lawmakers have been unable to reach agreements on large bills dealing with economic development, health care and abortion.
POINTS OF CONTENTION:
  • Senators are stuck over whether to limit the amount of tax credits that can be approved to renovate old buildings.
  • Legislators are still wrestling with language that would expand Missouri's 24-hour informed consent law to have an abortion.
  • Disagreements remain on a proposed expansion of healthcare.
Session ends 6 p.m. Friday
