Senate approves 40 million capital improvements bill
The Missouri Senate passed a 40 million capital improvements bill, sending it to the governor by a 29 to 2 vote. The package funds Jefferson City construction for state agencies, a highway patrol academy, and Lincoln University projects, with other major allocations in Jefferson City including repairs, new floors, and planning for a new state office building.
