During my time in office, we have given millions of additional dollars to education, helped foster a better business climate through economic development, and worked hard make state government more accountable to the people. Our reforms have made certain that our children are given the education they deserve, that Missouri is viewed as a welcoming home for business, and that people are able to spend more of what they earn.
