The tax cuts have left Missouri with poor funding for schools, roadways and other needs that Missouri requires. This continues to be a story of the Republicans allowing Missouri to be at the bottom of the rating of states.

I would rather all Missourians be taxed fairly and public education, health care, and law enforcement fully funded. Also roads, bridges, and public transportation maintained properly.

This budget surplus is only TEMPORARY from COVID relief and stimulus funds. Taxes in Missouri are relatively low, we do not need a token tax cut.
