Wrap: Koster sent the letter to House Speaker Tim Jones stating if Missouri lawmakers override the veto on a tax cut bill, Missourians can collect three years of overpaid taxes.
Speaker Jones said he wasn't happy with Koster's letter.
He said his response did nothing more than parrot Nixon's talking points.
In his speech in the St. Louis area, Jones criticized Koster--a potential candidate for governor in 20-16.
Jones said Koster refused to defend Missouri against ObamaCare, among other things.
