Cole County's clerk is forecasting a 35 percent voter turnout for today's primary. Most of Cole County's elected positions are unopposed today, but there is a contested race for assessor. Cole County clerk Steve Korsmeyer joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", telling listeners that some polling places are slow this morning, while others are busy. Clerk Korsmeyer indicates the air conditioning went out at the Miller performing arts center in Jefferson City, but that's been repaired. He also reminds you that this is a primary election, which means you have to pick a party:

Cole County's clerk is forecasting a 35 percent voter turnout for Tuesday's primary. That number disappoints Jefferson City Mayor Ron Fitzwater, who wants to see a higher turnout. Mayor Fitzwater describes Tuesday's election as a critical election for the state of Missouri. Mayor Fitzwater joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri" and praises Cole County clerk Steve Korsmeyer for his efforts. The mayor also praises Cole County's Democratic and Republican election judges for their hard work and long hours on election day. Mayor Fitzwater also discussed the proposed conference center and hotel in downtown Jefferson City, saying the project is on track and that they're currently in the design phase. Mayor Fitzwater says the hotel would have 250 rooms and that the hotel/conference center would have 800 parking spots. Mayor Fitzwater admits there are skeptics who have concerns. The conference center issue in Jefferson City has been discussed for about three decades:

Nine Republicans are seeking Missouri's GOP gubernatorial nomination next Tuesday. Incumbent Governor Mike Parson (R) is not running again. One of the nine is Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, who joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri." One of the biggest issues he emphasized on-air is properly funding Missouri's seven state veterans homes. They are in Cameron, Cape Girardeau, Mexico, Mount Vernon, St. James, St. Louis, and Warrensburg. Secretary Ashcroft tells listeners those veterans homes are underfunded by tens of millions of dollars and that one could potentially close, without additional money. Mr. Ashcroft tells listeners that Missouri does not have a resource problem (money), it has a spending problem. Secretary of State Ashcroft says Missouri's approximately $50-billion state operating budget has increased by more than $20-billion in the past seven years, while the veterans homes are underfunded. He says the veterans homes need anywhere from $30-million to $50-million to be property funded, saying that will be a top priority if elected. Ashcroft also blasted a GOP primary rival during the live interview, saying Lt. Governor Mike Kehoe's budget has increased by tens of millions of dollars. Ashcroft says money should be taken by Kehoe's office and put toward state veterans homes. Another issue Ashcroft addressed is education, saying less than 25 percent of Missouri eighth-graders are proficient in both math and reading. Secretary Ashcroft also tells listeners that state government needs a reorganization. More than 14,000 state employees work in Cole County, making state government Jefferson City's largest employer:

Cole County prosecutor Locke Thompson is currently dealing with several high-profile cases, including a 1991 Russellville murder, the case involving 53-year-old Francis Kempker of Jefferson City and the incident that happened in February outside an event sponsored by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Prosecutor Thompson joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri". He says we could see a fall or winter trial date set for William Niemet, who's charged with killing his classmate in Russellville in 1991. Prosecutor Thompson also discussed what he could about the recent trial of Kempker, who has been convicted of two counts of forcible rape. Prosecutor Thompson says testimony indicates Kempker would bond women out of the Cole County jail and bring them to his shop in Centertown, where they were raped and physically abused. Kempker, who has denied the allegations on the witness stand, will be sentenced at a later date. And Prosecutor Thompson also confirms he's still investigating an incident that happened outside a Jefferson City fundraiser in February, where Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft says he was almost knocked to the ground by pro-Palestinian demonstrators. The protesters were demonstrating outside an event in Jefferson City sponsored by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Some of the demonstrators held signs saying “Each child of Gaza is our own,” and say genocide is happening in Gaza. They were calling for a ceasefire. A “Columbia Missourian” photographer captured a photo of an altercation that happened outside the building involving Secretary Ashcroft, who's told "Wake Up Mid-Missouri" that that he was pushed and shoved outside the building when he tried to get in and that one demonstrator tried to knock him to the ground. Prosecutor Thompson tells listeners he cannot comment on pending investigations. He confirms he's still investigating.

Some drama erupted over the weekend in Cole County's caucus. How did it go for other counties? Did you know so many republicans lived in Boone County?

Missouri's governor is proposing a 3.2 percent pay raise for state employees. State employee pay is a top priority for State Sen. Mike Bernskoetter (R-Jefferson City), whose district includes Cole County. More than 14,000 state employees work in Cole County, making state government Jefferson City's largest employer. Senator Bernskoetter joined us live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", and is optimistic about the pay plan. Senator Bernskoetter also expresses frustration with the Senate Freedom Caucus and recent filibusters. He tells listeners that pretend to be more conservative than the rest of the Senate GOP members. While Republicans have a 24-10 supermajority in the Missouri Senate, GOP infighting has been causing issues since last session:

Complaints about the lack of parking near the Missouri Capitol in Jefferson City date back decades, and those complaints continue today. Jefferson City Mayor Ron Fitzwater joined us live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri" to preview Missouri's 2024 legislative session, which begins tomorrow at high noon in Jefferson City. Mayor Fitzwater tells listeners that parking remains a challenge and that he's committed to looking at that. State employee pay remains one of Mayor Fitzwater's top priorities. More than 14,000 state employees work in Cole County, making state government Jefferson City's largest employer.

He tells listeners that he receives letters from Missourians telling him they are praying for him. He also discussed the importance of faith. We also asked the governor about his executive order closing state offices on the day after Thanksgiving. Governor Parson tells listeners that he appreciates state employees and that they've made underpaid for a long time, due to politics. He says they deserve the day off. Most of Jefferson City's 14,000 state employees will be off on Friday, because of the governor's order. Governor Parson also discussed Missouri's 2024 session, which starts on January 3 in Jefferson City. The governor is not hopeful of major legislation passing, noting 2024 is an election year and that many state lawmakers are running for higher office. The governor would like to see what he calls initiative petition reform pass in early January:

AG Schmitt cited a Cole County judge's ruling last month that said health orders issued by local authorities under state health regulations were “null and void.” The Springfield Public School District responded to AG Schmitt by saying it plans to keep its mask mandate in place until Christmas break. On Friday, parents and students across the SPS District held a protest. If you want to get involved, you can join their group: Springfield Public Schools – Parents Speak Out!
