Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft is running for Missouri GOP Governor nomination

Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft who is running for Missouri GOP Governor nomination joins the Mark Reardon Show to discuss the latest happenings in the Missouri Legislature.

“We’re not getting things done that we should get done. We’re not returning the people’s money to them. We’re not making sure that their tax dollars aren’t being used to espouse that people are good or bad based on their skin color. It’s ridiculous,” shared Ashcroft.

He commented on a potential Missouri gas tax, “If the government needs money it’s better to have a user fee. But when the government has more money than they know what to do with, we shouldn’t be increasing any taxes.”

“The State doesn’t have a problem with not having enough resources, they have a resource allocation problem,” Ashcroft concluded.
