August 23, 2007 -- JEFFERSON CITY – Missouri Governor Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on the Missouri House of Representatives action to approve economic development legislation designed to help create Missouri jobs and a bill to finalize the plan to repair or replace 800 Missouri bridges:
“Missourians have created nearly 85,000 jobs since January 2005 and thousands of these new jobs relied upon the Quality Jobs Act that we created during my first year as governor. I applaud House members for taking swift action to approve an economic development bill with pro-jobs, pro-growth initiatives including the expansion of the Quality Jobs Act.
“I also commend the House for approving legislation that will make Missouri bridges safer and sounder. The recent tragedy in Minnesota illustrates the importance of our effort to repair or replace 800 Missouri bridges and the House took a big step today to help us continue improving our transportation infrastructure.”
The House today approved House Bill 1 and House Bill 2 during a special session called by Gov. Blunt.
