Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon blasts back at Perry trip
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has pulled up the welcome mat and put on the gloves.
Nixon was initially dismissive of the Texas governor’s business luring trip to Missouri this Thursday. But that was when the $100,000 relatively tame TV ads were running that just featured businessowners touting Texas.
But when the radio ads began a few days ago attacking Nixon’s veto of a tax cut, Missouri Democrats began fighting back. The first push back was left to Secretary of State Jason Kander, who wrote Perry a letter basically suggesting he stay home.
Then Missouri radio station KTRS refused to run the pro-Texas ad.
