Democrat Mike Daus, from the 67th District, apparently doesn’t follow the FiredUp Missouri lead of never praising Republicans. Rep. Daus reports on his blog the good news of the higher than projected budget surplus:

State budget officials on July 9 said Missouri will have an estimated $320 million in available but unappropriated revenue for the 2008 fiscal year, which began on July 1. When the General Assembly granted final approval to the FY 2008 budget in May, it was expected that about $200 million was being left unspent.
