While the nation waits for a winner in the federal budget battle, Missouri State Agencies are losing money by the minute. Karen Fogg reports from the Capitol.

Richard Hanson, head of the office of Administration, oversees the budget and planning for the State. Hanson says labor and the Natinal Guard are the two major deparments that will be hit soonest and hardest.
