Governor to Deliver State of the State Address
January 11
JEFFERSON CITY–Gov. Matt Blunt today announced he will deliver the annual State of the State address on Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2006, at 7 p.m.
Blunt is the first governor to deliver the address in the evening when more Missourians have the opportunity to listen or see the address live.
"Last year more Missourians had the opportunity to watch the State of the State address than ever in our state’s history," Blunt said. "This is the people’s government, and we must ensure we do all we can to make it accessible to them."
Missourians across the state had the opportunity to watch the governor’s first state of the state address on cable, PBS, and select NBC stations. It was the most watched and most widely broadcast state of the state address in memory.
Blunt will discuss Missouri’s accomplishments over the past year, his legislative goals for the 93rd General Assembly, 2nd Regular Session and the Fiscal Year 2007 budget he will submit to the Missouri General Assembly.
