Today's Poll!Missouri Gov. Nixon outlines jobs plan
Monday, January 9, 2012
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon is proposing additional training efforts and boosting exports to spur job creation.
Nixon traveled Monday to western Missouri to discuss a development plan he called “Missouri Works.” The proposal includes setting up an online information center for Missouri businesses seeking to expand exports. It also suggests opening export offices in Asia and South America.
It also calls for maintaining funding for job training and for helping military veterans by reimbursing employers a portion of new workers’ salaries while they complete training.
The governor also wants $4 million for the Missouri Science and Innovation Act to offer incentives to science and technology companies. And he wants to help existing automotive suppliers expand.
Nixon was to provide more details during next week’s State of the State speech.

Great. Another Democratic plan for Big Government to Create Big Jobs. Problem is it NEVER works. The only people who get employed are the friends and relatives of the politicians and the companies they get contributions from get kickbacks of our money. Why don't you try this, illustrious Governor Nixon, Back off on the regulations, quit trying to destroy small business, and quit trying to socialize our nation!
