The Missouri House gave final approval today to a plan for roughly $300 million in bonds for state building and higher education repair projects.
About $40 million in bonding would go toward repairs at the state's aging Capitol building, which have been deferred for years. Another $105 million would go to needs at other state-owned buildings.
The measure also includes $10 million for maintenance at state parks, which the House had initially cut because of criticism over the construction of a new state park without explicit legislative approval.
