Governor to Call Special Session for Jobs Bill

Governor Jay Nixon’s spokesman Scott Holste released a statement to various news outlets today indicating a special session will be called to pass legislation aimed at promoting job growth in Missouri.

“By working together in a bi-partisan way, we’ve taken another important step toward passing a major job-creation package in a fiscally responsible manner.

“From day one, Gov. Nixon’s priorities have been creating jobs and keeping our state’s fiscal house in order. The Governor intends to call the General Assembly into special session to focus on passing this bi-partisan jobs package and moving our economy forward.”
