Hi G

I hope all is well. 

I was proud to uphold the governor's veto this past week in Jefferson City. You can be sure that your State Representative fights hard against legislation that will hurt our state's education system and social services. 

Thank you for your email and your support.

Sincerely,
State Representative Michael Butler
Proudly Serving Missouri’s 79th District (D)

Subject: Sustain the Veto of House Bill 253

Dear Representative,

I am very troubled by House Bill 253, the so-called "tax-cut" bill, which would dramatically impact senior citizens who rely on state funding for nursing homes, in-home care, and meals on wheels.

It is not right to force higher property taxes on the elderly and make it more difficult for them to stay in their homes. The legislation's new tax on prescription drugs endangers the health of Missouri's most vulnerable citizens.

HB 253 would also cause significant harm to state employees, college students, our public schools and universities, the mentally ill and Missouri public safety in order to help a few very high-end taxpayers a great deal.

I strongly urge you to vote to sustain the Governor's veto of HB 253.
