McGaugh Says Special Session Has Work Ahead Next Week

The Missouri House and Senate begin the real work on the Special Session – Monday morning.

The Senate Budget Committee has 13 bills to consider in answer to the governors request for a state income tax break.

The House is standing by to get the bills that pass the Senate.

Representative Peggy McGaugh of Carrollton explains:

Governor Mike Parson asked for an immediate income tax cut instead of the incremental plan that is already in place. That would take the individual tax rate to 4 point 8 percent.

Representative McGaugh says the House is ready to get going:

The House and Senate gaveled in this week long enough to submit bills and get them referred to committees.

This is also a veto session, but no vetoes were taken up.
