- Gov. Mike Kehoe vetoes, restricts nearly $500 million from Missouri state budget
Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe vetoed $53 million and restricted $441 million in the state's $50.7 billion budget due to declining revenues and a shrinking pandemic-era surplus. The restrictions blocked spending on 42 new budget items and 28 unfinished construction projects, including a Missouri Capitol renovation and a Springfield apartment complex, while allowing some infrastructure projects like a parking garage and road relocation.
