Parson and his team unveiled a new budget and a number of new initiatives, urged legislators to take action on key priorities and touted various successes from the past year fighting the pandemic while continuing to run the state.
Here are three things that stood out Wednesday afternoon.
1. Medicaid expansion is coming
In last year’s State of the State, Parson called a plan to make more Missourians eligible for state-run health insurance “a massive tax increase that Missourians cannot afford.”
Wednesday was a different story.
Roughly six months after voters ignored Parson and approved expansion anyway, Parson’s team laid out a budget proposal absorbing its cost with no immediate trouble.
