State Rep. Tricia Byrnes (R-Wentzville) is calling on Governor Mike Kehoe to call a special session to suspend Missouri's 29.5 cent state gasoline tax from June through December 31. She says Missouri gas is up more than $1.30 a gallon from a year ago. House Speaker Dr. Jonathan Patterson (R-Lee's Summit) discussed the issue on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri", saying he hasn't heard anything about a special session:

This episode of The Rizzuto Show is what happens when a comedy podcast decides to ask one simple question: “What could possibly go wrong?”—and then immediately proves the answer is everything.We kick things off with Rafe's E Memoriam, where absolutely nothing is safe—not even your dignity. From there, we dive straight into the wildest discovery of the week: Love Cloud Flights. Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. No, it does not get less weird the more you think about it. And yes… someone floated the idea of going solo. Which raises a lot of questions, most of them directed at the poor pilot.From sky chaos to street confusion, the crew tackles one of life's greatest unsolved mysteries: what happened to limousines? At one point, these rolling party tanks were everywhere—proms, weddings, random Tuesdays—but now? Gone. Vanished. Thanos-snapped out of existence. We break down whether rideshares killed the vibe, or if society just collectively decided we didn't need mirrored ceilings and warm Sprite anymore.Then things take a turn into modern dating insanity, where filters have completely rewritten reality. Enter: The Dukes of Haggard—our completely ridiculous (and somehow genius) reality show concept where contestants try to guess what people actually look like beyond the filters. It's part dating show, part forensic investigation, and fully proof that the internet has broken our brains.Of course, we also celebrate King Scott hitting 45 (sorry, dude), which leads to some aggressive aging jokes and a reminder that time waits for no one… especially not this comedy podcast.It's weird. It's chaotic. It's probably not solving anything—but it's definitely making it funnier.

The St. Louis Morning Brief focuses on major transportation and safety issues across Missouri. Marc Cox and Kim discuss a Missouri House bill that could raise speed limits on rural interstates from 70 to 75 miles per hour while also scaling back mandatory vehicle safety inspections, prompting debate over whether inspections protect drivers or mainly create costly repair headaches. The conversation then shifts to alarming local violence, including a Florissant road rage case where a man allegedly punched a woman through her car door and another St. Louis County incident where a grocery store dispute escalated into a truck striking an 85-year-old bicyclist. Marc and Kim argue tensions on the road are spiraling and urge listeners to calm down behind the wheel. The segment closes with congratulations to retiring St. Louis County Police Chief Kenneth Gregory.

Hour 2 opens with a full lineup preview before diving into a wide-ranging political hour anchored by Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe's interview. Kehoe discusses Route 66's 100th anniversary, Billy Long's upcoming ambassador role, and the major decision looming on whether Amendment 3, initiative petition reform, and income tax changes will land on the August or November ballot. He also weighs in on a Missouri House proposal to raise interstate speed limits to 75 mph and reduce vehicle inspection requirements, stressing safety concerns and legislative tradeoffs while acknowledging frustration with current inspection processes. The conversation extends into state budget negotiations, spending reductions, and assurances that sales tax fears tied to income tax reform are overstated. The hour also touches national political tension, including commentary on rhetoric, political violence concerns raised by Erica Kirk, and criticism of media responses to controversial public statements. It closes with reaction to the Supreme Court's Voting Rights Act ruling and speculation about Missouri's congressional map and potential redistricting shifts.

You'll likely be voting in August or November on a proposed constitutional amendment that would replace Missouri's state income tax with a sales tax in a phased approach. The Missouri Senate has approved the bill, which is a priority for Governor Mike Kehoe (R). Senate President Pro Tem Cindy O'Laughlin (R-Shelbina) appeared live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri", telling hosts Randy Tobler and Jennifer Bukowsky that a state income tax targets your earnings and is a disincentive to earn more. The proposal need one more vote in the Missouri House, before it would head to the statewide ballot:

Missouri Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Nick Schroer (R-O'Fallon) is praises Senate passage of a bill that involves the courts. Senator Schroer tells "Wake Up Missouri" that the bill essentially means Missouri laws for Missouri courts and not things like the World Health Organization or sharia law. The bill now heads to the Missouri House and Senator Schroer tells listeners that House Speaker Pro Tem Chad Perkins (R-Bowling Green) will handle the bill:

The Missouri House has passed a proposed constitutional amendment aimed at eventually eliminating the state's income tax by expanding its sales tax. They rightfully see the income tax as a disincentive for people and businesses to move to Missouri. Check it all out in this week's Chairman's Report.

Missouri House Minority Leader Ashley Aune (D-Kansas City) is considered one of the rising stars in the Democratic Party. Leader Aune joined hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri." Leader Aune credits State Rep. Betsy Fogle (D-Springfield) for leading the effort to restore funding for those with developmental disabilities. Leader Aune says that was a bipartisan effort. She also predicts Senate Republicans will use the PQ to shut off debate and then will pass the bill to eliminate Missouri's state income tax. If that happens, Missourians would vote on the issue this year:

The Missouri House has approved an approximately $50-billion state operating budget. State Rep. Dave Griffith (R-Jefferson City) is pleased with the overall budget, calling it responsible. Representative Griffith, however, voted against the higher education bill due to cuts to Jefferson City's Lincoln University. Chairman Griffith joined "Wake Up Missouri" live in-studio, telling listeners that LU is on the right path. Griffith also tells listeners that he appealed directly to House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Dirk Deaton (R-Noel) to restore the Lincoln University cuts:

Missouri Net News Director Alisa Nelson joins Megan Lynch. She breaks down how the Missouri House has given first-round approval to a state budget that draws from surplus funds, & shakes up how the state would fund higher education.

Former Missouri Senator John Lamping joins Marc Cox to discuss community pushback over proposed massive data centers in Festus, Gray Summit, Warrenton, and Montgomery County. Lamping highlights how these centers, driven by AI development demands, could raise utility rates, replace millions of jobs, and create environmental and light pollution concerns. He critiques the legislative framework that enables these projects and explains how much of the recent legislation passed in the Missouri House is symbolic rather than substantive. Lamping warns of the broader economic and societal impacts while emphasizing the importance of informed local decision-making.

Missouri House is about to enact new US House maps that erase a Democratic seat; IN Democrats fight GOP push for mid-decade redistricting; NC's role in focus as war in Gaza continues.

Missouri House members from all corners of the state will be driving to Jefferson City on this Monday morning for the special session on congressional redistricting and initiative petition changes. The full Missouri House convenes at 2 pm. Republican Governor Mike Kehoe called the special session, saying action is needed to ensure our congressional districts and state Constitution put Missouri values first. Democrats disagree, saying the GOP is trying to gerrymander congressional districts. "Missouri Times" publisher Scott Faughn was live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri" this morning with hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell. He discussed the special session and tonight's roast in Jefferson City for Missouri Senate President Pro Tem Cindy O'Laughlin (R-Shelbina), who represents Randolph County in the 939 the Eagle listening area. Mr. Faughn says State Sen. Rusty Black, GOP consultant Jeff Roe and others will be in Jefferson City for tonight's roast. Mr. Faughn says it will benefit Safe Passage in Moberly, which helps victims of domestic violence:

President Donald Trump and his staff have been pressuring Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe and GOP lawmakers to engage in mid-decade redistricting ahead of next year's elections. Missouri Republicans explicitly rejected a similar plan just three years ago, but Democrats expect those GOP lawmakers to change their mind. Democratic House Minority Leader Ashley Aune talks about the daunting challenge for her caucus during this special session, how Democrats plan to respond to the remapping plan, and whether it could actually boost her party's prospects in the Kansas City area.

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe isn't just calling lawmakers back to Jefferson City to redraw the state's congressional lines. He's also urging lawmakers to make monumental changes to Missouri's initiative petition system. Kehoe's proposal would drastically raise the bar for some proposed constitutional amendments to be enacted. The idea has received strong support from Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins, a Republican. Hoskins responds to points raised by the plan's detractors and explains why he feels the proposal will fare well at the ballot box.

Missouri lawmakers return to Jefferson City Wednesday for a special session on congressional redistricting and on amending the state's initiative petition process. Governor Mike Kehoe (R) announced the call Friday afternoon, and Democrats are furious. Missouri House Majority Floor Leader Alex Riley (R-Springfield) agrees with the governor's call. But Democrats like State Rep. LaKeySha Bosley (D-St. Louis), one of the Missouri House's senior members, say the integrity of our democratic system is at stake. Representative Bosley says the proposed redistricting efforts also risk Governor Kehoe's own promise to lead with fairness and integrity. "Missouri Times" publisher Scott Faughn joined hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri." Mr. Faughn tells listeners that the Missouri Legislature will approve a 7-1 GOP congressional map and predicts the courts will uphold it. He also says we'll see some protests in Jefferson City:

Missouri House Majority Floor Leader Alex Riley (R-Springfield) says if Governor Mike Kehoe (R) calls a special session on congressional redistricting, the House will be ready to act. Leader Riley joined hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri." He says the House is waiting to see what Governor Kehoe will do. Leader Riley also says Democrats have gerrymandered districts in Illinois and other blue states and calls that "egregious." Leader Riley is also running to be Missouri's next House Speaker:

Recent Ten Across Conversations episodes have considered how current changes in staffing, research, and responsibilities within federal agencies like FEMA and NOAA may affect disaster readiness and response at the local level. Many cities find themselves pressed to rethink how their own limited resources might secure the information and support necessary to address the growing risks they face.  Collaborative regional networks are proving to be one way to achieve much greater returns on investments of local time and funds. The Mississippi River Cities and Towns Initiative (MRCTI) has become an outstanding example of this type of work. Formed in 2012, this innovative coalition of 105 mayors from cities along the main stem of the Mississippi has spearheaded programs in vital policy areas including clean water, sustainable economies, and climate resilience.  Among their most interesting efforts from a Ten Across perspective is the pilot parametric insurance policy MRCTI is developing with global reinsurer Munich Re. When realized, this program would allow member cities to opt in to a customized, shared insurance pool that could rapidly fund local emergency response based on predefined environmental trigger events.  Listen in as City of Gretna Mayor and MRCTI Louisiana Chair Belinda Constant joins MRCTI's executive director, Colin Wellenkamp, and Ten Across founder Duke Reiter to discuss how collaboration can help defend against more frequent and costly risks.  Relevant articles and resources  “Trump moves to end NASA missions measuring carbon dioxide and planet health” (PBS, August 2025)  “Trump, who called FEMA ‘slow,' is making people wait months for help” (E&E News by Politico, May 2025)  “As Mississippi River towns experience whiplash between drought and flood, mayors look to new insurance model” (The Lens, November 2024)  Relevant Ten Across Conversations podcasts  Why the Ten Across Geography Needs FEMA with Dr. Samantha Montano  Beyond the Forecast: TV Meteorologists Weight in on Climate Challenges  Past and Future Resilience Along the Mississippi with Boyce Upholt  Want to Understand the Future of Climate Resilience?

Todd Richardson is hardly a stranger to high-stakes challenges. He became Speaker of the Missouri House abruptly in 2015 after his predecessor resigned amid a scandal. He also waded through the near-impeachment of Eric Greitens during his last year in elective office. And as Medicaid director, he's dealt with a once-in-a-generation pandemic and the expansion of the health care program to include the working poor. As he enters his seventh year running Missouri's Medicaid program, Richardson is confronting yet another challenge: Implementing work requirements in the recently-enacted One Big Beautiful Bill.

Missouri House members are trying to take a proactive approach to complex issues, like artificial intelligence regulation and disaster preparedness.

The Missouri House closed its special session last week with votes to provide funding to the Royals and the Chiefs, so a piece of the puzzle has fallen into place. But questions remain.
