Confusion Surrounds Missouri'04 PrimaryJEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Missouri's 2004 presidential primary appears to be in limbo after legislators went home without canceling the election, but also without appropriating money to pay for it.
Presidential primaries have been held in Missouri just twice, in 1988 and 2000, with party caucuses held in other years. So with the economy weak and tax revenues below estimates, lawmakers chose to save the $3.7 million that would be needed for next year's primary by leaving it out of the budget. And so, we still don't know. Arg.
