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.

The House completed its work this week on their recommendations for the FY 2020 budget. This week's report focuses so/ne attention on l'ssues brought forward by initiative petitions that could end up before the voters in the 2020 ballot cycle, and some thoughts brought forth on changing that process.

At the Wednesday hearing of the House Education Committee, which Representative Roeber has chaired, it was noted that Representative Curtis Trent had been appointed by Speaker Elijah Haahr to the committee to fill the open spot on the committee (but not the position of Chai$ as Roeber will not return to her Committee this legislative session.

  • Than 100 State Legislators Join Coalition to Oppose Troubling Tobacco Tax Scheme
    For Immediate Release: Contact: Ronald J. Leone Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2016 573.864.5189 More than 100 state legislators join coalition to oppose troubling tobacco tax scheme. Jefferson City – A large bipartisan coalition of state representatives and senators from across Missouri are encouraging voters to vote “No” on a controversial constitutional amendment that contains several troubling provisions. Today, a total of 19 state senators and 91 state representatives announced their opposition to Amendment 3 and encouraged their constituents to oppose Big Tobacco's scheme. The overwhelming legislative opposition puts the majority of Missouri lawmakers on the same side as many diverse organizations that have come out against Amendment 3 - including groups that historically supported tobacco taxes. “Whether you’re Democrat or Republican, conservative or liberal, there is something in Amendment 3 for everyone and every group not to like,” said Ronald J. Leone, Executive Director of the Missouri Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association (MPCA). Missouri State Senators Opposing Amendment 3 Sen. Dan Brown, R-Rolla Sen.
