A tax-cut for Missouri residents is put on hold for a few days.
State lawmakers will not gavel into session next Tuesday to consider cutting state income taxes.
Instead, they will start the session on September 14th. That will give legislative leaders time for more wheeling and dealing behind closed doors. The governor vetoed the idea of a one-time tax rebate; he wants a tax cut. So, lawmakers have to decide to either override the governor on the rebate — or go along with him on reducing the tax rate.
