Committee budget appropriations processes are in full swing. Within the next week or two, the full budget committee will begin marking up the budget bills in preparation for debate and amendments on the house floor.
The economy, job creation and education remain at the top of my list of priorities.
I wish you and yours well, and appreciate the opportunity to serve.
Truly,

This Week in the House
HB 71: Local Control: St. Louis City Police
Today the issue of local control of the St. Louis City police force was perfected, which means it received first round passage on the House floor. If it continues through the House and Senate processes, the St. Louis City Police will fall under the jurisdiction of the City of St. Louis rather than under State control.Proposition B
In November 2010, the passing of Proposition B sent a clear message from all areas of the state that humane care for animals is a reasonable standard and a major priority for many Missourians. The goal of Proposition B was to curb large-scale animal abuse.
I have heard from voters all over the State, and people in our district has been particularly diligent in making their opinions known. Overwhelmingly, constituents do NOT support the REPEAL of Proposition B.
I plan to vote against the bills I have seen, all of which essentially overturn Proposition B. I will respect the decision of the voters in our district!
Capitol Visitors
Members of the Missouri Society of Eye Physicians and Surgeons visited the Capitol on Wednesday, January 16. In additionl to visiting their legislators, members also administered free eye exams. If only they could help me find my glasses! Dr. John Holts, of the 82nd district, is on the left.
Ladue Students Show-Me "TechKnowledge" Week!
Broadcast Journalism teacher extraordinaire Don Goble, and his students (from left) Corey Vent, Josh Picus and Alyssa Buchanan from Ladue Horton Watkins High School visited the Capitol on February 16 to raise awareness for technology in the classroom.
Remember, if your class has not scheduled a visit to the Capitol, do so soon! Our office is always open, but exciting opportunities to visit the Governor's Mansion and the Missouri Supreme Court are very limited. To organize your tour, call (314) 616 5009 or email Anne Marie Rhoades.

Green Tip of the Week
by Rebecca Anglo, legislative internKeep clean and green: don't take baths, take showers! A shower uses about half of the water that a bath uses.
Up to 90% of the energy cost for showers and washing machines comes from heating the water. To save energy and money, keep your washing machine on the cold setting.
