  • All Eyes Were on the Senate Floor This Week As Senator Mike Cierpiot (R-Lee’S Summit) Rose to Rebuke the Senate’S Conservative Caucus
    All eyes were on the Senate floor this week as Senator Mike Cierpiot (R-Lee’s Summit) rose to rebuke the Senate’s Conservative Caucus. Senator Cierpiot is renowned for a quiet, steady demeanor so his prepared commentary was a surprise to nearly everyone. Several of the conservative caucus members ruffled at Senator Cierpiot’s publicly shared viewpoint and admonished him for taking his grievances to the Senate floor as opposed to handling them privately. The question that remains is whether this interfamily fight will have lasting consequences. Border war The House Economic Development Committee met Monday evening to consider passage of SB 182, sponsored by Senator Mike Cierpiot (R-Lee’s Summit). The bill modifies provisions relating to the issuance of certain incentives to businesses relocating from certain counties in Kansas and Missouri. The proposal is in response to what is commonly referred to as the “border war” and will help curb lease jumping and abuse of economic development tools within an eight-county region surrounding Kansas City. During committee discussion, substitute language was adopted to remove Kansas’ Douglas County. Once modified, the committee passed the bill by a 10-0 vote. Transportation bonding The Senate dedicated floor time Monday afternoon to revisit SCR 14, sponsored by Senator Dave Schatz (R-Sullivan). The bonding resolution funds construction and repair of 215 bridges within the state highway system, not to exceed $301,000,000. Bond duration is limited to seven years, which sums to an annual payment of $46,000,000. The deal is contingent upon receiving a grant from the federal government for road and bridge purposes.

Very soon we will have the opportunity to repeal so- called “Right to Work” by voting NO on Prop A on August 7. In 1978, I was just starting my career as a carpenter. I didn’t know at the time just how critical my vote on this issue was, but the older members made sure we understood our careers depended on it. Here we are 40 years later, and I’m nearing the end of my career. This issue is just as important and our votes are even more critical this time. The same out-of-state corporate interests are still trying to hurt working families in Missouri. They lost in 1978, and we’re doing everything to ensure they lose again on August 7. Thanks to the hard work of thousands of volunteers—you’re likely among them—and the more than 310,000 Missourians who signed the petition to get our repeal on the ballot, we have the chance to defeat “Right to Work” once again.

  • May/June Good News 2021
    Good News Bringing the Light of Christ to Missouri | May/June 2021 The 2021 legislative session wrapped up on Friday, May 14th. This year’s session commenced under the continuing cloud of COVID-19, and it wasn’t clear how things would progress. Several changes were made to the way business is conducted at the Capitol in order to slow the spread of the virus. House and Senate committees, for example, allowed witnesses to submit testimony in writing, rather than requiring them to appear in person. In the House, some committees even allowed witnesses to appear via video. Session started with few members of the public present in the building, and most in attendance wearing masks. By the end of session, however, more people were showing up at the Capitol, including groups of school children, with few masks in sight as vaccines became available. The big issue facing law makers this year was Medicaid expansion. As we have previously reported, the House and Senate both voted not to include funding for expansion of the program in the FY 2022 budget, despite voters approving the measure during the August 2020 primary election. Most of the legislators cited the lack of support for expansion in their districts and the cost of the program to the state in the future. Several would-be Medicaid recipients have now sued the state Pro-Life Legislation to allow them to enroll, and the MCC anticipates a ruling to be issued prior to July 1st. In this issue of Good News, you can see Two bills that encourage adoption and how your legislator voted on an amendment offered during foster care passed this session, and have debate on the budget that would have funded the program.

  • End of Session Update Cooperative School Districts of Greater Kansas City May 18, 2020
    Steven R. Carroll & Associates Legislative Consultants-Lobbyists-Attorneys at Law 215 East Capitol Avenue Jefferson City, Missouri 65101 Phone: 573-761-5952 Fax: 573-761-7490 Missouri General Assembly Legislative End of Session Update Cooperative School Districts of Greater Kansas City May 18, 2020 The historical 2020 legislative session now belongs to the ages. In many ways this legislative session could have been titled “the session of the unknowns.” It has been 102 years since a legislative session had to deal with a pandemic. Not since the legislative session during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic has witnessed so many uncertainties. I started my fifth decade of being involved in state government this session. Over the years I have witnessed a lot, but never a session quite like this because of the coronavirus. The legislature lost six weeks of the session while they were temporarily shut down. When the legislators came back to finish the session, it was as if they were chasing a runaway roller coaster. In all my years I have never seen so many large omnibus bills being drafted and trying to get passed. The House alone took 26 non-controversial Senate bills and turned them into huge multi-issue bills in the hundreds of pages. Almost all of these massive bills were defeated in the final days of the session. In addition, for the first time that I know of, the Senate reconsidered a truly agreed to and finally passed bill and overturned it. This bill, HB 1862, was a conference committee report and included the Speaker of the House’s priority issue, which was to take away eminent domain from the Grain Belt Energy Group.
