Water we have in missouri and we need to protect the quality of water have in our state. All across our state drinking and Wastewater Treatment systems, many built decades ago are starting to fall apart. If youve ever had a pipe burst in your basement, or a cracked maintain your subdivision, you know how costly and annoying that can be. Thats what my budget this year includes 70 million, funds already approved by the voters and the legislature, to rebuild these aging Water Systems now and ensure that we leave missouris water better than we found them. [applause] our rivers and streams are part of the priceless Outdoor Heritage that missourians can enjoy.
