The state budget is more than just a spreadsheet.
Every number represents an investment in our kids, our parents & grandparents, and our neighbors.
The budget impacts ALL of us, EACH day.
Through public services, like education, public health and safety, and transportation, we build a foundation upon which families, communities and our economy can thrive.
Missouri’s state budget is about:
The child from a low wage family attending safe, quality early education, helping to ensure she enters school ready to learn
The grandparent who is able to live independently at home because of home health services or the circuit breaker property tax credit
The neighbor who is able to access the critical behavioral health services and medication that allows her to work & care for her family
But….
The budget is a lot to digest.
