Script: "This is Governor Jay Nixon.You may have heard that Governor Rick Perry of Texas is trying to getattention for himself by taking shots at Missouri . he's running radio adshere to try to get businesses to go to Texas.I'd like to thank KTRS for refusing to air these misleading ads . andstanding up for Missouri.Make no mistake, our businesses aren't going to Texas, and here's why:One, Missouri has lower property taxes than Texas. And lower sales taxes.Two, our students score higher on standardized tests. Graduation rates arehigher.Three, Missouri's unemployment rate ... below the national average for 4years.And unlike Texas, Missouri has a perfect Triple-A credit rating.I'd like to thank the Kansas City Civic Council and the Springfield,Columbia, and Callaway Chambers of Commerce for standing with us. By workingtogether we're moving Missouri in the right direction.And as for the Governor of Texas . he'll learn, you don't mess with folkshere in the Show-Me State.Paid for by A Better Missouri with Jay Nixon, Craig Hosmer Treasurer"
