Missouri House approves supplemental budget, including raises for state workers
A supplemental Missouri budget, which includes raises for state workers, is a step closer to passing the legislature after the House approved it Thursday.
Members voted 114-11, with 25 voting present, for the budget that now awaits a hearing in the Senate.
The nearly $4.6 billion budget contains funds for Missouri’s Medicaid program, including its expansion, raises for state employees and almost $2 billion in federal money for public schools.
However, the bill the House passed is not the same as the proposal from Gov. Mike Parson, with one of the largest changes being to the pay raise plan.
