  • The Protection of Missouri Governors Has Come a Long Way Since 1881, When Governor Thomas Crittenden Kept a .44-Caliber Smith and Wesson Revolver in His Desk Drawer
    GOVERNOR’S SECURITY DIVISION The protection of Missouri governors has come a long way since 1881, when Governor Thomas Crittenden kept a .44-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver in his desk drawer. He had offered a $5,000 reward for the arrest and delivery of Frank and Jesse James, and kept the weapon handy to guard against retaliation. In less than a year, Jesse James had been killed, and in October 1882, Frank James surrendered, handing his .44 Remington revolver to Governor Crittenden in the governor’s office. In 1939, eight years after the creation of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, several troopers were assigned to escort and chauffeur Governor Lloyd Stark, and provide security at the Governor’s Mansion for the first family following death threats by Kansas City mobsters. Governor Stark had joined federal authorities in efforts to topple political boss Tom Pendergast. Within a year, Pendergast and 100 of his followers were indicted. In early 1963, Colonel Hugh Waggoner called Trooper Richard D. Radford into his office one afternoon. He told Tpr. Radford to report to him at 8 a.m. the following morning in civilian clothes. At that time, he would accompany Tpr. Radford to the governor’s office. The trooper was introduced to Governor John Dalton and was assigned to full-time security following several threats. Since security for the governor was in its infancy, Tpr. Radford had to develop procedures as he went along. There was no formal protection training available at this time, and the only equipment consisted of a suit, concealed weapon, and an unmarked car.

  • Katy Trail Connection Sample Letter
    SAMPLE LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR KATY TRAIL CONNECTION TO KANSAS CITY Governor Matt Blunt Room 216, State Capitol Building Jefferson City MO 65101 Governor Blunt, The potential to "complete the Katy Trail" by connecting the trail to the Kansas City metropolitan area, creating a seamless trail connection across the entire state, is an exciting one for Missouri. The Kansas City connection will help maintain the Katy Trail's status as one of Missouri's most popular state parks and an international tourist and recreation destination. Connecting the Katy Trail to Kansas City will make the trail the centerpiece of a compete, seamless statewide trail network that will allow bicyclists, runners, walkers, hikers, nature enthusiasts, bird watchers, and others to safely connect to communities and natural areas across Missouri. The potential for the Katy Trail to act as the hub of a "Quad State Trail", connecting communities in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Illinois to those in Missouri, creates additional potential for tourism and economic development. The connection between the existing Katy Trail and the Kansas City metropolitan area is the key to allowing this Quad State Trail system to develop. The complete Katy Trail and the Quad-State Trail System will provide tremendous tourism, economic development, and public health benefits to communities and to the public. I support the Katy Trail connection to Kansas City, commend its economic, natural, and health benefits, and respectfully urge the Governor, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, the Missouri Attorney General, and other interested parties to move with all due haste in completing the Katy Trail network from state line to state line.

  • Greitens Scandal Could Influence Missouri Special Election by Blake Nelson the Associated Press Published June 4, 2018
    Greitens scandal could influence Missouri special election By Blake Nelson The Associated Press Published June 4, 2018 JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — One of the first Republican legislators to publicly suggest impeaching former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens will face a Democrat who tried to tie him to the scandal-plagued governor in a special election, just four days after Greitens resigned amid allegations of sexual misconduct and campaign violations. The election Tuesday to pick a replacement for former GOP state Sen. Ryan Silvey was already viewed as a potential political barometer for Missouri ahead of the midterms, but Greitens’ abrupt departure last week injects additional meaning into the race between two state representatives. Republican Kevin Corlew and Democrat Lauren Arthur both positioned themselves as Greitens critics long before his resignation, which happened as the Legislature considered impeachment. Corlew took a stronger stance against Greitens than most of his GOP colleagues when he released a statement in April saying that the House should “seriously consider impeachment.” However, a commercial from Arthur’s campaign says: “Jefferson City is corrupt, and politicians like Eric Greitens and Kevin Corlew are the problem.” The vacancy was triggered in January when Silvey was appointed to the Missouri Public Service Commission. Silvey, himself a frequent critic of Greitens, leaves behind a suburban Kansas City seat that provides both parties with some reason for optimism. In 2016, voters in Clay County, where it’s located, backed Republicans Greitens for governor and Donald Trump for president while picking Democrat Jason Kander for U.S. Senate. In 2012 they favored Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney while backing Democratic incumbents Claire McCaskill for Senate and Jay Nixon for governor.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 8, 2018 Contact: Kelli R. Jones, 573-751-0765 [email protected] Governor Parson Announces Christopher K. Limbaugh as General Counsel Limbaugh brings a legal legacy to the Governor’s Office (JEFFERSON CITY)- Missouri Governor Mike Parson today announced that Christopher K. Limbaugh, Cape Girardeau County Prosecuting Attorney, will serve as the top lawyer in the Governor’s Office. “Limbaugh brings proven legal experience to our office,” said Governor Mike Parson. “Not only does he have a wealth of courtroom experience, but his legal work on governmental affairs for the Cape Girardeau County Commission and his state legislature work with the Missouri Association of Prosecuting Attorneys is the kind of experience that will benefit our office." Limbaugh was appointed to Cape Girardeau County Prosecuting Attorney in 2012 by then- Governor, Jay Nixon, to an unexpired term of office. In 2014, he was elected to serve a four- year term without opposition. As Prosecuting Attorney, he has overseen more than 2,000 felony and misdemeanor cases per year, and he has personally tried more than 20 jury trials, including capital murder, first and second degree murder, possession and distribution of controlled substances, and other offenses. “Chris Limbaugh has done an exceptional job in leading the Cape Girardeau County prosecutor’s office. His knowledge of the law and ability to keep Missourians safe leaves him exceptionally qualified to take this next step to help Governor Parson,” said Missouri Congressman Jason Smith. “Missouri will be well served with Chris’ ability to effectively advise and guide the Governor.” “Chris Limbaugh has a reputation as a fine lawyer and public servant of the law,” said Missouri House Speaker Todd Richardson.

  • Nixon Leads Kinder by 19, Randles by 21 for MO-Gov
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 14, 2011 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Nixon leads Kinder by 19, Randles by 21 for MO-Gov. Raleigh, N.C. – Too bad for Republicans that former Senator John Danforth decided against a gubernatorial bid in Missouri next year—because he is the only one revered enough to even come close to beating the popular, moderate incumbent Jay Nixon. According to PPP’s latest poll of the race, Danforth would have actually led Nixon by six points, 45-39. But against four others, Nixon leads by nine to 21 points. The most likely nominee until recent scandals arose, Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder trails, 50-31, a decline of five points on the margin for Kinder since PPP last polled the state in May. Nixon won his current term by a similar spread. Two other potential candidates—Nixon’s predecessor Matt Blunt and former Senator and 2000 gubernatorial nominee Jim Talent—would trail by respective 50-37 and 47-38 margins. The only candidate other than Kinder actually in the race, unknown attorney Bill Randles, trails 45-24. 51% approve and only 30% disapprove of the work Nixon has been doing, up a tad from the 48-29 measured four months ago. He is now the 10th most popular of the 42 governors on which PPP has polled. Nixon is not terribly popular with his own party (58-21), but he has huge crossover support, almost breaking even with Republicans (40- 42).

(Jay) Nixon Governor Elected November 4, 2008 Term expires January 2013 JAY NIXON (Democrat) is serving his fi rst term as governor of Missouri. Garnering the highest margin of victory for a non- incumbent governor in 44 years, Nixon was overwhelmingly elected by Missourians as their 55th governor to create jobs and move the state forward. Governor Nixon has put forward an agenda to make govern- ment more effi cient, effective and responsive to the needs of Missouri families. He is committed to fi ghting every day to create jobs in Missouri, holding the line on taxes and placing a college education within reach for more Missouri students. As he did in the state Senate and during four terms as attor- ney general, Governor Nixon is reaching across the aisle to put Missouri families fi rst. He successfully worked with the legislature to pass several jobs initiatives to put Missourians back to work, including a bill to bring next-generation automotive production to Missouri. Nixon’s call to reform Missouri’s drunk-driving laws resulted in changes to keep repeat offenders off the road. Governor Nixon has led the fi ght for families with children with special needs, including the successful push to require insurance companies to cover proven treatments for autism disorders, as well as the creation of Partnership for Hope, which is helping provide community-based services to those with developmental disabilities.
