Schmitt first commented about rescinding Boeing tax credits, some of which stem from a 2013 bill he sponsored, when asked last month by a reporter in Columbia.

At the time, he said, he was discussing his push in the Legislature earlier this year for a constitutional amendment barring state and local government investment in companies doing business with Iran and other nations on the terrorism list.

The unsuccessful measure didn’t deal with tax credits. Schmitt said that if someone in the Legislature next year proposed doing that, he would support it.

The treasurer’s office policy prohibits investments by the state in companies known to back terrorism or which “aid the government” in countries that sponsor terrorism. Baker said that policy had worked well and that she would stick with it.

Meanwhile, Schmitt has attacked Baker on the Affordable Care Act, noting that she was regional administrator of the federal Department of Health and Human Services during President Barack Obama’s first term.

In that job, he said, Baker was “the architect of Obamacare in Missouri.” He contends the law has resulted in higher health insurance premiums.
