Developers in Joplin say the Governor's push for tax credit reform would hurt a program that has been central to revitalizing downtown Joplin. 

Kristen Blanchard, spokeswoman for Representative Ron Richard, R-Joplin, said Richard is "open to meeting with the governor and would support a comprehensive review of the program at some point, provided it was 'objective' and included a cost-benefit analysis of the tax credit programs."
