| Description: "What I'm saying is I have grave concerns about what it's going to cost the state of Missouri, because it will have a cost to general revenue, which will have to come from somewhere else...presumably and unfortunately public education because that's the only place where there's enough money to actually pay for something like this." | |
Schaefer says to make an informed decision on expansion, we must know how much it will cost the state.
