Wrap: Sen. Wright-Jones says Missouri's 61 tax credits is way too many.

Wright-Jones, however, says the state should be cautious in deciding which to cut.

Description: "I certainly think that they're needs to be revision. There needs to be change. There's nothing wrong with that, but we really need to stop and think about the far-reaching aspects before we cut something out completely."
Jones says Missouri should keep the tax credits that give them a good return for their investment.
