Governor Mike Parson has been very vocal about two main priorities for legislation since he took office last June – infrastructure funding and workforce development.
“Infrastructure for the state of Missouri and workforce development is the future of this state, it is the future of our men and women. It is the future of our kids and your grandkids to make sure they are prepared for the workforce,” Governor Parson said.
