Show Notes
The Missouri House approves a $50.3 billion budget for the next fiscal year, $1.7 billion less than Governor Kehoes recommendation. The budget sets aside $4.2 billion for K-12 schools and $360 million for transportation, but neither is fully funded. It restores $80 million for disability care programs and reshapes higher education funding. The budget faces criticism for shortchanging school funding and childcare subsidies, with heated debates and narrow votes. The budget picture looks bleak with federal aid spent and potential cuts to SNAP and Medicaid looming. The bills now head to the Senate for further changes.
