Jay Nixon dropped the ax today

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon announced today that 700 jobs will be cut to make up for a shortfall in state tax revenues.

Prime Buzz says the cuts are on top of $430 million in budget slashing earlier this year.

Add that on top of American Airlines closing its overhaul base at Kansas City International Airport (and the announcement of 700 job cuts nationwide), and it's been a really bad day.
