9:05 – 9:22 (15mins) Brenda Talent, CEO at the Show-Me Institute, for a discussion about the budget, and the final day of the session?
do you mind if she gets a quick plug in for the two events we’re having next Wednesday, May 22?   
Unsurprisingly, the approved budget looks like it leaves much to be desired. As Missouri’s legislators are fond of saying, passing the budget is the general assembly’s sole constitutional responsibility. Given the gravity of the assignment, it’s incredibly disheartening that the process played out the way it did. At this point, what’s clear is that Missouri desperately needs more budget transparency, and what happened this year should never be allowed to happen again.
 As for the final days, one opportunity for horse-trading is around the child care tax credit.
