The state of Missouri is facing a budget crisis, as the recession pushes more people to need social services such as food stamps, unemployment, and health insurance coverage. At the same time, state revenues are falling, leaving Missouri with less money, even as costs increase. Our guests are Amy Blouin (Missouri Budget Project), Rita Dongas (AFSCME Council 72), and Bradley Harmon (Missouri State Workers Union/CWA 6355).
