Gov. Nixon withholds $115 million from new Missouri budget - Diana Barr, Missouri Business Journal

“In order to protect our shared priorities like public education, college affordability and mental health, a number of new and expanded programs will have to be pared back or put on hold,” Nixon said in a statement. “These modest restrictions are being applied to new programs or increased spending for existing programs, so as to minimize the impact on the priorities we share: investing in our local schools, holding down college tuition, and helping Missourians with mental illnesses and developmental disabilities live more full and independent lives.” http://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/news/2016/07/07/gov-nixon-withholds-115-million-from-newmissouri.html
