In the House version of a sales tax bill, a provision that would have set up a sales tax to fund indigent health care in the St Louis area was thrown out.

Bill sponsor Representative Tom Hoppe of Kansas City said he would try to get the item put back on the bill.

Contents: "Since it was in the Senate and not the House version, it's a conferencable item so if we can work it out, we can maybe put it back in."

The measure now goes to the Senate.
