ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI - FOX2now.com)—

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon is calling lawmakers back to work early. Nixon wants those lawmakers back in Jefferson City, just after Labor Day.  That is about a week earlier than already planned.

On the agenda, the so-called Aerotropolis tax credit.  Nixon hopes the $360 million tax credit will make Lambert International Airport in St. Louis a hub for freight flown to China.  The credits would go to companies that arrange those shipments.  Counties hard-hit by losing car-assembly plants could house refrigeration facilities for some of those shipments.  Plants in Hazelwood and Fenton, are just a couple places that could get that work.

Also on the agenda is local control of the St. Louis City Police Department.  Right now, it is state-controlled.  The Police Officer Association is now on-board instead of opposing the change.  The group got a collective bargaining agreement that should protect their pensions.  Officer support brought Mayor Slay one step closer to seeing the change pass the state legislature.

But missing from the agenda is a discussion on funding clean-up in areas hit hard by recent tornados and floods.  Of course, there is still time for the governor to slip that one in.
