Senate, House plan hearings on Boeing incentives
The Associated Press
December 3, 2013 Updated 20 minutes ago

JEFFESON CITY, Mo. — Committees of the Missouri House and Senate have scheduled hearings on incentives aimed at helping to persuade Boeing Co. to build its 777X commercial aircraft in the state.

Lawmakers on Monday opened a special session called by Gov. Jay Nixon to consider a package of up to $150 million annually in incentives for Boeing.

On Tuesday, a Senate committee plans to meet at 5 p.m. to consider the proposal. The House Economic Development Committee is scheduled to consider that chamber's legislation following the conclusion of the Senate hearing.

Missouri is among several states seeking to win the 777X. Nixon says the state is facing a Dec. 10 deadline to submit an offer to Boeing.

.... safety standards, corporate taxes and the right of labor to organize.

'Cause it'll be good for the State. Yeah, that's it.

Education? Infrastructure? Medicaid (Mo not wanting expansion?)

One thing I'm sure of, the incentives will NOT come from taxing those who will benefit most, Jay Nixon and his pals!
