Gov. Nixon issues statement on Governor's Amendments submitted to FY 2013
budget

 

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Gov. Jay Nixon today released the following statement
regarding the Governor's Amendments to the budget submitted by Budget
Director Linda Luebbering this afternoon:

 

"As I have from Day One, I will continue to balance our budget, hold the
line on taxes and maintain strict fiscal discipline.  We will live within
our means to keep the state's fiscal house in order and to protect vital
priorities, such as providing health care for needy blind Missourians.
These additional funds will be available to assist the Senate in fully
restoring our health care program for the blind and ensuring that 2,800
needy blind Missourians continue to receive the vital services they need.
This is the right thing to do, and I look forward to working with the Senate
to fully restore this critical program."
