Senate leaders unsure about Greitens' tax cut proposal

Date: February 1, 2018

State Capitol Bureau

Intro: 

Top leaders in the Missouri Senate are effectively throwing the Governor Eric Greitens’ tax plan under the bus.

RunTime: 0:30
OutCue:  SOC

Wrap: Senate President Pro Tem Ron Richard says he does not believe the tax plan is valid.

Greitens says the plan is revenue-neutral – meaning that the cuts are offset by savings elsewhere.

At a news conference, Richard said believes the plan has some holes in it.

Actuality:  TAXCUTS.WAV
Run Time: 00:04
Description: “I think it raises taxes a couple hundred million dollars, initially.”

Asked about the tax plan, Democratic State Senator Gina Walsh, who represents part of St. Louis County, said the plan is vague and unclear.
