Nixon would get his Boeing package, which included $150 million annually in tax credits for the aerospace behemoth if the company chose to bring its new 777x-manufacturing project to Missouri. Members of the Senate who have championed tax credit reform would not filibuster or substantively slow down the bill’s process and in exchange, Nixon would make certain concessions on the state’s $600 million tax credit program.
