The Columbia Missourian has an op-ed from the Show-Me Institute’s Joe Haslag and David Stokes. It addresses the question of what legislators should have done with the federal stimulus money coming to Missouri.
Haslag and Stokes recommend using the funds as an opportunity to reduce taxes, rather than increase spending. I enjoyed the piece — it makes a good case for something I briefly blogged about before.
