Missouri's legislature is headed out on spring break--but without debating several key issues.
Johnathan Woodward has more from Jefferson City.
The legislature's spring break is later than usual this year.
But the state's operating budget hasn't made it to the floor of the House.
House Republican Leader Catherine Hanaway says while the delay is an issue--it might not be a problem:
But Republican leaders in the Senate are concerned. They say leaving for Spring Break rather than finishing the budget means the House is behind the game.
The budget isn't the only major issue that hasn't seen debate. The Cardinals stadium bill, the governor's rainy day fund proposal, and a transportation funding package haven't made it to the floor of either chamber.
In Jefferson City, Johnathan Woodward.
It's time for spring break at the Capitol...but the budget and several other key bills are falling behind.
Johnathan Woodward has more from the State Capitol.
The legislature's spring break is later than normal this year.
But lawmakers are leaving town even though the state operating budget hasn't made it to the floor of the House yet.
Republican leaders in the Senate say they're ready and waiting.
Senate President Pro Tem Peter Kinder says the budget delay is more than a small problem:
The operating budget isn't the only bill that's
behind. The Cardinals stadium bill, the governor's rainy day fund proposal, and a transportation funding package haven't been debated in either chamber.
But House Republican Leader Catherine Hanaway says despite the delay, if more attention is being given to the budget--it's not a problem.
In Jefferson City, Johnathan Woodward.
