Globe/Susan Redden Missouri State Rep. Ron Richard (left) listens to Jasper County Assessor Don Davis at the “Eggs and Issues’’ breakfast on Friday. The annual legislative roundup was sponsored by the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce.

Legislative session ends ‘better than expected’

He also praised passage of the bill that will phase out income taxes on Social Security and other retirement benefits.

Stevenson said he is chairing a committee on tax reform and predicted a major tax-code restructuring in coming years. He said he favors elimination of the corporate income tax.

“If you would phase it out, you (would) see a huge growth in economic development and taxes,” he said.

Rep. Richard, who is chairman of the House committee on job creation and economic development, said he has been surprised at the controversy surrounding the jobs bill he sponsored.

“The state needs the bill for job growth, but the governor may veto it because of all the things that were added to it when it was in the Senate. If that happens, it will be the second year in a row we don’t have a jobs bill,” he said.

Rep. Emery said no one can be upset about legislation he got passed this year, because none of the bills he sponsored was approved. Measures he sponsored proposed the national FairTax sales tax, while others dealt with immigration and abortion.

Adjourned

The General Assembly will reconvene for a veto session set for Sept. 12.
