I spent my portion of today's @kearney_chamber lunch talking about Amendment 5 eliminating the state income tax. In short:

💵 More money in families' pockets
🎓 School funding protected
📈 Increased startups and entrepreneurship
🏗️ Increased economic growth and job opportunities

I believe the only time in history it has been done was in 2018 to consider impeaching then-Gov. Greitens. #moleg

[Brian Hauswirth @Brianontheair]

Erik, you are correct about the process and the 3/4 majority requirement, but I've never seen it happen in Jefferson City. Thanks for your interest in the story. #moleg

Per student (ADA) spending in Missouri public schools has increased 51% since 2017, more than 20% over inflation. #moleg

[Tom Estes @TheTomEstes]

Is there a pro–public school advocacy group anywhere in the country that doesn’t claim their schools are severely underfunded and near the bottom in state rankings? All of these groups follow the exact same script. #moleg #mogov

[Josh Hurlbert @JoshHurlbert]

Today, we remember and honor the sacrifice of those who defended freedom and the American Dream for 250 years.

And one final dump climbing the trees on the South Lawn.

The highlight of session is always the end, specifically when Ashley and the kids all come down to spend the day together and celebrate. The kids are excited to toss papers at the end of the day - but probably even more excited to help clean up the mess we make. #moleg

[Josh Hurlbert @JoshHurlbert]

Thank you, @photog021, for catching these moments together on the House Floor.

[Rep. Ben Keathley @benKeath]

Motor fuel is already exempted from sales taxes under RSMo § 144.030.2. Voting for income tax elimination doesn’t repeal that statute.

Wasn’t it just a few years ago that #moleg (with the support of virtually every Democrat) voted for a gas (excise) tax hike without a vote of the people anyway?

Like you said, we already tax gas. Missourians can at least end the government raid of their paychecks by voting for HJR 173.

Chris isn't the candidate in this race who will tell you what you want to hear and then vote completely different. Chris knows who he is and he's a man of his word who has the experience necessary to represent North Missouri in Washington. 4/4 #mo06

[Josh Hurlbert @JoshHurlbert]

It was an honor to help welcome everyone tonight at @ChrisStigall's campaign kickoff BBQ! 1/4 #mo06

[Josh Hurlbert @JoshHurlbert]

But I don't just support Chris because he's a conservative fighter and a constituent. He's been a friend for almost 20 years and I know the Christian character he holds dear. 3/4 #mo06

[Josh Hurlbert @JoshHurlbert]

@johncombest_com The kids and I found ping pong balls in the general direction she was throwing while picking up the tossed papers.

[Josh Hurlbert @JoshHurlbert]

Two years ago... #moleg

[Josh Hurlbert @JoshHurlbert]

Sometimes, during the pressure cooker that is the last week of session, everyone in #moleg needs to just take a moment for some necessary levity. Thank you, @Rep_BennieCook and @PoucheSean for bringing us this moment 🤣

[Josh Hurlbert @JoshHurlbert]

But shame on us if we try to implement those best practices from the "Mississippi Miracle" into Missouri early literacy education. 🙄 #moleg

[The Heartlander @HeartlanderNews]

Insiders say the "Mississippi Miracle" wasn't a fluke. It was a marathon. The transformation of one of the country's worst school systems into one of the best took years of steady, focused work.

Great night in Richmond with @ChrisStigall and @greatervision!! #moleg #mo6

[Josh Hurlbert @JoshHurlbert]

Sometimes your second grader challenges you to work "6-7" into the floor debate... 🤣 #moleg

[Josh Hurlbert @JoshHurlbert]

JJ had a special role today in the @MOHOUSECOMM - delivering the opening pledge of allegiance. Thank you to Speaker Patterson for making this a special day for him! #moleg

[Josh Hurlbert @JoshHurlbert]

Great night out at the @claycountygop Lincoln Days Dinner! Appreciate hearing from Will Scharf and Kevin Kietzman tonight!! #moleg
