A bill to use the tobacco settlement money to cover Missouri's budget shortfall is on its way to the Governor. Michelle Wirth has more from Jefferson City.
Lawmakers passed a bill taking money from the state tobacco settlement fund to pay for Missouri's budget shortfall. Festus Democratic Representative Mark Abel supported the bill all along.
The House had previously voted against the bill, but several Republicans and the Speaker of the House changed their minds. From Jefferson City, I'm Michelle Wirth.
