The Prop. B battle continues
It is my pleasure to report to you that my house bill # 94 was heard in the Agricultural Policies Committee this week. HB94 is a total repeal of Proposition B. Thank you for the support of all those that have called or e-mailed my office as well as those of you who came to the hearings. I appreciate all the feed-back. It will be a long road but I think we will get this Proposition altered, so it won’t be a detriment to our local economy. Please follow our Committee meetings on the internet (house.mo.gov), and I invite you to come to the Capitol and witness and even testify your views and opinions.
The Senate is taking this issue head-on as we are. Senator Mike Parson is sponsoring SB 113 and SB95, that make several changes to Prop. B. This bill had a hearing and was voted out of committee this week.
HB 73
HB 73 allows for the drug testing of welfare (TANF) recipients suspected of using a controlled substance. Despite attempts from some House Democrats to continue subsidizing the illegal drug use of some TANF benefit recipients, HB 73 overwhelmingly received first round passage, was ordered printed and perfected, and was placed on the House calendar for third reading. It is unconscionable to think the right decision is to continue to provide taxpayer funding for anyone’s drug use.
Survey
I am proud to say that we have the ability to get a survey out that is fast and easy for you and me. It is internet based instead of the paper surveys that have been used in the past. This is also very effective and beneficial to me because I have an opportunity to know sooner how you feel about a topic. With faster information sharing, I can be more properly informed on how you stand on many issues. Please take a few minutes, click on the link below, and fill out this survey.
