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.

    Flener, Matt From: Andy Blunt <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 29,2019 9:02 AM To: Brown, Nicole Subject: Missouri Legislative News MISSOURI LEGISLATIVE UPDATE MARCH 29,2019 Legislative Spring Break has come and gone, and the General Assembly returned to the Capitol this week. With only three months remaining in the fiscal year, the budget situation remains a concern, and the available remedies are límited. 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. BAD NEWS REGARDING REPRESENTATIVE REBECCA ROEBER 1 The news began circulating around the Missouri Capitol on Monday afternoon that Representative Rebecca Roeber was involved in a serious automobile accident as she was driving Highway 50 from her Lee's Summit home to Jefferson City for the legislative session on Monday. On Tuesday morning news reports indicated that Representative Roeber was in critical condition at University Hospital in Columbia as a result of the accident. Later in the week in published repods her status was upgraded to serious. On a posting on Facebook, a note from her husband stated that she had initial surgery on serious damage to her legs, and from the posting it is apparent that she will have multiple more surgeries for other broken bones. 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.

  • 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.
