House Opens the Door for Credit Card Companies

Bring jobs back to Missouri. That's the message the House of Representatives sent to credit card companies when they passed a bill lifting percentage rate caps. Conrad Jungmann has that story from the state capital:

The measure will not compile interest as it heads to the governor's desk for final approval. From Jefferson City, I'm Conrad Jungmann.
