Wrap: After the state recently paid off a thirty year old bond issue, Governor Jay Nixon is ready to borrow in a big way again.  

Nixon says he wants to focus on improving k-12 and higher education facilities, the Fulton state hospital, and other facilities like state parks.

To pay for it, Nixon says the legislature will have to scale back tax credits.

Republican House Speaker Tim Jones has appointed Columbia Democratic representative Chris Kelly to lead a committee to look into it and Jones says he will work in a bi-partisan fashion to see the proposal through.
