Wrap: Republicans have veto-proof majorities in the state House and Senate, and House Speaker Tim Jones says Gov. Jay Nixon will have to understand how to negotiate.
On Wednesday, Jones said Missouri would benefit from a governor that does not play his cards so close to his chest.
When asked about his work across the aisle at a press conference Thursday, this was Nixon's response seconds after the question.

Description: "there will not be a problem with either the depth, breadth, the clarity, or the intensity of where we oughta go." |
Nixon says he does not approach his position in a partisan fashion. He says it is about where Missourians are, and not where Democrats and Republicans are.
