JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Officials from Missouri’s public universities are raising concerns about reduced revenues for education as state lawmakers consider an income tax cut.
A statement signed by the governing board presidents of nine state universities cites concerns that legislation could limit the money available for education.

The Republican-led House could vote as soon as Wednesday on whether to give final approval to a bill that would eventually cut more than $600 million of income taxes for individuals and businesses.
Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon has said the bill could harm education funding. He vetoed a tax cut last year.
