Wrap: Jefferson City Republican Senator Mike Kehoe says the one-cent sales tax increase would provide revenue for Missouri's transportation system.
Kehoe says the resolution provides flexibility so each county can best address its needs.
But St. Louis City Democratic Senator Joseph Keaveny says he is worried that too much of the money would go towards roads and bridges.

| Description: "It makes sure that we allocate some of this, some of these funds, to the not so glorious things that need to be done. The light rail. the bike paths, the walking paths." | |
The resolution still needs another vote in the Senate before moving on to the house.
