Missouri's governor has expressed reluctance to redirect funds from the state Capitol renovation project to public schools. This stance follows the governor's earlier approval of the state budget, which included allocations for the renovation.

The proposed reallocation would shift money designated for the Capitol's upkeep to educational institutions across the state. However, the governor's comments suggest this change is unlikely to occur.

The renovation project's funding was part of a budget passed with the governor's assent. Full reporting is available from the original source.
