QUESTION OF THE DAY: Have you missed work because you didn’t have child care?

Missouri politicians and business leaders met Wednesday in Columbia to discuss what they say is one of the biggest problems holding the state's economy back: a lack of child care resources.

Those leaders say the lack of sufficient resources costs companies and the state more than a billion dollars each year and is most felt in rural areas.
