JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- More spending cuts are coming to Missouri government.
Gov. Jay Nixon announced Wednesday that additional cuts are needed to keep the state's budget balanced.
Nixon already has vetoed or cut $430 million from the $23.7 billion budgeted by lawmakers for state operations and capital improvements during the current fiscal year.
At a news conference held Wednesday morning, Nixon provided detailed information about what cuts his office thinks are needed.
Last week, the Division of State Parks and Historic Sites told employees it is eliminating more than 100 positions because of declining tax revenues that finance the agency.
