Rep. Rachel Bringer, D-Palmyra, described it as a gender issue. "This body may be 82 percent male, but the state of Missouri is not 82 percent male." She continued, "This bill, make no mistake, is an attack on Missouri's women and an attack on some of Missouri's most vulnerable women, some of Missouri's most vulnerable women who are taking care of some of Missouri's most vulnerable children."
But Rep. Rachel Bringer, D-Palmyra, said the plan is "offensive to every small business in this state" and that the legislature is focusing on the wrong part of the economy.
A portion of the bill would give real estate tax break to Bombardier, a Canadian aircraft company, and its property next to the Kansas City airport, said Rep. Rachel Bringer, D-Palmyra.
