The Missouri House Veterans and Armed Forces committee’s vice chairman is impressed with Governor Mike Kehoe’s budget recommendations for state veterans homes.
The governor’s proposed $53-billion state budget includes $10-million in funding to support quality care in the state’s seven veterans homes, including one in mid-Missouri’s Mexico. Governor Kehoe is also recommending $7.3 million in funding to replace what he calls an outdated nurse call system in the seven veterans homes.
State Rep. Jim Schulte (R-New Bloomfield) tells 939 the Eagle that he appreciates the governor’s promise to fund the veterans homes. Schulte serves as vice chairman of the Missouri House Veterans committee.
