Missouri Governor Hits Earmarks with Veto Pen as He Signs State Budget
- Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe signed the $50.8 billion Fiscal Year 2026 budget on Monday, June 30, 2025, after issuing budget vetoes.
- Kehoe made nearly $300 million in line-item vetoes and restricted $211 million more to curb unsustainable spending despite a current surplus.
- The cuts removed or reduced numerous earmarks, including some for state parks and road projects in lawmakers’ districts, putting a state park project in limbo.
- Kehoe said, "Just because we have money doesn’t mean we have to spend all of Missouri’s money" and called the cuts necessary to balance the budget.
- These budget actions reflect efforts to ensure fiscal discipline amid tax cuts, disaster relief costs, and anticipated tighter state revenues in coming years.
