State Rep. Jason Holsman (D-45) on “Missouri Viewpoints”

Economy, taxes, health care and effort to block tax funding of stem cell research among topics discussed

(Grandview, MO) – Missouri State Representative Jason Holsman of Kansas City says lawmakers are hamstrung from the needed flexibility to address the current recession and its impact on the state. Pointing to a “…tax code that developed in the 1930’s and hasn’t been changed since…”, Holsman says the state needs to look for a long term solution to shortfalls in revenue and also takes aim at the “Hancock Amendment” that limits the amount of revenue that state government can collect.
