Kansas City, MO – Lawmakers in the Missouri House have given initial approval to a proposed state budget of more than $23 billion after trimming more than $200 million.

As part of the budget cuts, House members turned their attention to staff working for Governor Jay Nixon and other statewide office holders.

Missouri Transportation director Pete Rahn is resigning next month.

Kansas Governor Mark Parkinson has signed a bill that will move the state closer to expanding passenger rail service.
