RunTime:  0:42
OutCue:  SOC

Wrap: During the phone conference Nixon repeated thoughts he addressed about tax credit reform a week ago.

Nixon thinks the state needs a tax credit reform to make sure taxpayer money is going where it is most useful.

Nixon says he wants the executive branch to have control of overseeing the tax credits.

Actuality:  NIXON4.WAV
Run Time:  00:14
Description: "Economic development projects that move forward are best done through capable efforts by the executive branch with authority granted appropriation wise overall by the legislative branch."

But some members of the legislature will not let a tax credit reform pass unless they have control over appropriation.
