“Every indicatio n that I’m getting is that (Nixon) intendsa to veto the money for the Schaefer said, adding that Nixon’s veto probablyh would kill the entire $200 millio n project. “Spending public funds on a cancer hospita owned by the citizens of Missouri is alwayws going to win out over giving publifc funds to a private company for abatter plant,” Schaefer said. “Nobody has told me that the lower amount wouldkill (Kokam’s Lee’s Summit) project.” Nixon spokesman Scott Holstw said the governor will have an announcement about the budgeg bill before June 30, the end of Missouri’x fiscal year.
Nixon and his staffv have been reviewing the budgegtbill “line by line to determine what the state can Holste said, and they want to keep central services in Jim Devine, CEO of the l, said he thoughty Schaefer’s proposal was “not as serious” a threat as the EDC first thought, “but you never know in politics.” The EDC issue d a release Friday encouraging Nixon to keep the Kokajm plant’s financing fully in place.
