TAXPAYER-FINANCED ELECTION BREAKFAST TOPIC

Kelly Gellispie of the Missouri Chamber of Commerce will discuss taxpayer-financed elections at 7:14 Thursday morning during the Cape Girardeau Chamber of Commerce's "Chamber Means Business Breakfast" at the Holiday Inn.

This marks the second "Chamber Means Business" breakfast.

People wanting to attend can contact the chamber office at 335-3312. The cost is $10.

A group promoting taxpayer-financed elections has turned in petitions ensuring a spot on the November ballot. The initiative would target Missouri employers to foot the bill for state political campaigns.

Gellispie will discuss the initiative's cost to business.
