Budget troubles are ahead in Missouri
Friday, December 14, 2001
Remember the multi-million tobacco settlement money Missouri received as part of the massive federal agreement? Well over $125 million of those funds were used earlier this year to cover budget shortfalls. And Gov. Bob Holden has already withheld another $25 million that had been earmarked for a new state health lab. Today more of that money will disappear when Holden announces another round of budget cuts for the state.
