JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Gov. Jay Nixon is planning to tour the nooks and crannies of the Missouri Capitol to get a first-hand look at repairs that could be financed through a bonding plan.
The governor has invited legislators to join him on the tour Monday. It comes after Nixon has spent the past couple of weeks traveling to state universities to highlight repairs and renovations that could be financed with bonds.
Earlier this year, the Legislature passed a measure authorizing up to $600 million of bonds for repairs or renovations at state facilities and college campuses. But little has been done with that, because not many specific projects were included in a separate budget bill passed by lawmakers.
Nixon wants lawmakers to approve a bonding project list during the 2015 session.
