Parson Explains Ag Tax Credit Veto, Imminent Call For Special Session
August 19, 2022 6:26AM CDT
Missouri Governor Mike Parson spent part of Thursday’s ham breakfast at the Missouri State Fair to explain his decision to veto a measure that would have extended ag-related tax credits. Calling the veto a difficult decision, Parson said the bill presented to him treated agriculture differently than other industries.
Parson said placing a two-year sunset on the programs would make them ineffective.
Governor Mike Parson has called a news conference for Monday afternoon, where he is expected to formally call lawmakers back for a special session.
