As a surplus, it should be returned to the taxpayers.

Debbie Riffle

That money came from the taxpayers. Rather than spend it, if it's not being utilized, it should be returned.

Max

Yes, because it gives money back to the people that actually paid taxes. Not those who get the phony "earned income tax credit".

Lisa Gore

Agreed, and it should only go to tax payers...not turned into a stimulus check for everyone which I see them doin...gotta keep our heads on a swivel for this stuff.

Vernon Taylor

The issue Democrats have with this proposal is that it will go to the real working class who pay taxes.

Democrats have panned the proposal, saying it doesn't do enough to help the state's poorest residents.

I’ll never forget when my newborn was in the ER for coughing up blood. I asked my manager for help and she said “Well, I guess your husband will have to take care of her.” But he had to work too, and had a competitive job where half positions got fired recently and feared not completing his project.

Zaos Gonzolez

I would not show up to work. There is no chance I would leave the side of my wife or children for anything.

Good for state morale. Less good for state revenue. Less good for residents who wish to attend games as ticket prices soar. But it keeps MO in national eye which is good for state economy.

Zaos Gonzolez

What?!!? I only care about my own personal revenue. State taxes can GF.

Subsidizing private multi-billion dollar sports teams is not in the scope of a state government. Or any government. If progressives want to make the claim of letting billionaires, like the Hunt family, "to pay their fair share" well here's the time to make that claim.

Bill Douglas

Really? But no complaint whatsoever about the $200M for football stadium suites at the University of Missouri ?? Hypocrite!

Toasty

No, but I understand the need for 'bread and circuses'.

Bill Douglas

How many University of Missouri games you spend money going to? Being in Columbia it is practically a religious experience for you college communists

Zaos Gonzolez

Get the degenerate consumerism OUT of Missouri. Reduce taxes.
