Proposed bill would help fund education

One Missouri lawmaker says he will keep fighting for school funding. Zack Ottenstein has the story.

Democratic Representative Harold Selby introduced a bill during the special session that could generate considerable money for education.

Selby's bill would put a ten percent tax on all campaign contributions, which would go to the education budget.

And he says that if he can't get the bill passed when the legislature meets again in January, he may try to get the measure put on the ballot.

Selby says he has received mixed feedback from lawmakers so far.

From the state Capitol, I'm Zack Ottenstein.
