Governor’s Budget Cuts Hit St. Louis Groups | St. Louis News

Governor Mike Kehoe just signed the state budget—but with a heavy hand, vetoing $52 million and freezing $440 million in funds, hitting St. Louis nonprofits hard. Groups like the Boys & Girls Clubs and Habitat for Humanity are bracing for slashed support, even though their funds are now “restricted” rather than vetoed—meaning they’re not gone, but not guaranteed either. Leaders are pleading their case, hoping the governor will reconsider, while lawmakers wonder if this is just the beginning of deeper cuts. With the fate of these frozen dollars still up in the air, local organizations are left in limbo, watching closely as the governor’s office decides whether these vital programs will survive—or shrink.
