New Date For Presidential Primary For Missouri
Governor Jay Nixon wants legislation changing the date of Missouri's 2012 presidential primary on the agenda for a planned special session in August.
Nixon announced earlier this week that he plans to call lawmakers back to the capitol to overhaul the state's business incentives.
Friday, Nixon said he'll also ask lawmakers to pass a measure moving next year's presidential primaries from February 7 to March 6. The later date would bring Missouri into compliance with rules set by the National Republican and Democratic parties.
