Dental Students Visit the Capitol
Last
week dental hygienist students Erin Keeven -O'Fallon, Amanda Sutton -St.
Peters, Ashley Bolin -Odessa and Jessica McCune -Green Valley, from the
University of Missouri Kansas City came to my office in the State Capitol
. Two of the students are from my District 19, and it was my
pleasure to introduce them on the House floor.
There's
an old expression, "You get more of what you subsidize."
Making tuition tax deductable is a step in the right
direction. Yesterday I had a hearing on my bill
HB
1240 which
allows a tax deduction
for tuition paid to any school in the State of An
economic downturn is a great time to look at what we are doing with the
few precious dollars we have left. Education falls into this
category. Children benefit from a variety of educational methods.
When they are put into the educational setting that best fits their
needs, their parents should have some tax benefit. From an economic
perspective, everyone wins. It is my hope that more parents -as a
result of this bill- will be able to afford an augmented education.
The best programs are those that allow our taxpayers to be rewarded
for exercising their own personal
responsibility. An
Evening with the Governor and First Lady
This
week the governor invited the outgoing Representatives to dine with him at
the governor's mansion. When we were elected in 2002, there were 90
of us. Nearly eight years later, there are only 52 of us left, yet
we still represent one of the largest single-infusions of representatives
in Your thoughts are important to me, so please let me know what you think about allowing tuition to be tax deductible. You
