JEFFERSON CITY – Gov. Jay Nixon today issued the following statement regarding Senate Joint Resolution 39:
“Rewriting our state’s constitution to condone discrimination would be contrary to our values and harmful to our economy. That’s why Missourians across the state, including business leaders and clergy, have spoken out strongly against SJR 39. I applaud the historic effort by the Senate minority to block this resolution and urge members of the House to protect the rights of all Missourians by opposing this discriminatory measure.”
