Senator Hoskins Pleased With New State Budget

The Missouri General Assembly met its constitutional responsibility by approving a balanced state budget last Friday. Senator Denny Hoskins, who is a member of the Appropriations Committee, says there are a number of highlights in the spending plan.

The Warrensburg Republican says including the additional funding for community colleges was key.

Hoskins says the budget also includes $10 million for a rural broadband grant program.
