Visiting southwest Missouri for a chamber of commerce "state of the state" event Tuesday, Missouri Governor Mike Parson announced what he called a “historic” fifth tax cut from his administration.

When Missouri Gov. Mike Parson visited Springfield on Thursday, he pushed back on critics who say improvements to Interstate 70 are being funded at the expense of Interstate 44.
