Palacios delves into the various boards she has served on over the past 15 years, including the Missouri Chapter of the National Women's Political Caucus and her experiences as one of the few Latina members among these boards at the time. Burnett, Williams and Palacios discuss happenings within the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson city including a special session request for the legislature from Gov. Mike Kehoe. Within the special session call, three items are proposed for approval including Kansas City Stadium subsidies at Truman Sports Complex, relief aid for Missourians impacted by the storms and capital projects from Missouri House of Representatives Bill 19. These bills are discussed in length as well as a lawsuit, which the Missouri Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has filed against Missouri Attorney General, Andrew Bailey and the University of Missouri. *This podcast was recorded on Wednesday, May 28. Since its recording, this Special Session — which Burnett, Palacios and Williams discuss in this episode — ended on Wednesday, June 11. The Missouri House of Representatives approved $1.5 billion in funding for Kansas City sports stadiums as well as $125 million to aid areas of St. Louis, which faced severe weather damages, according to an article by the Missouri Independent. All three of these bills were previously approved in the Missouri Senate and made their way to the Governor's desk, which he signed into law on Saturday, June 14.*Music used within this Women Speak episode is a song called “I Wish I Knew You Then” by Kansas City local artist Honeybee and the group's lead female vocalist, Makayla Scott. “I Wish I Knew You Then” is a recent single, which Honeybee released in March 2025.  Honeybee's latest single “Lindenlure,” was released on May 30 and is now available on its streaming platforms. 2025 singles “I Wish I Knew You Then,” “Charmed Life” and “Lindenlure” as well as additional Honeybee tracks are available on Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, TIDAL and Youtube Music. *Disclaimer* I Wish I Knew You Then and any previous or future Honeybee songs used by The Northeast News within the Women Speak podcasts are courtesy of and approved by Makayla Scott and Honeybee under proper copyright law.

A mid-Missouri state senator who is carrying legislation that provides tax incentives to the Chiefs and Royals says $2-billion in economic activity is at stake if the teams leave for Kansas. State Sen. Kurtis Gregory (R-Marshall) represents Cooper and Howard counties in the 939 the Eagle listening area. Senator Gregory joined hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell on “Wake Up Missouri” this morning to discuss the bill. Meantime, State Rep. Tim Taylor (R-Speed) tells 939 the Eagle that he expects Missouri House committee hearings in Jefferson City on Monday and Tuesday for special session bills and for the Missouri House to be in session Wednesday morning at 10. The Missouri Senate has approved legislation aimed at keeping the Chiefs and Royals in Missouri, along with $50-million in funding to plan and design a new research reactor at Mizzou in Columbia. The Senate has also approved $125-million for tornado and storm relief. Critics call the stadium bill corporate welfare, saying taxpayers shouldn't fund stadiums. Senator Gregory disagrees with that viewpoint:

   AFter years of inaction by everyone at every government level in Missouri, the state Senate saves the day at 2:30 am in a special session passing a bill that could keep the Royals and Chiefs in the Show Me state.  It moves to the House where it is expected to pass easily and then the governor will sign.  Now we will find out exactly what both teams want to do as they have sweet offers in both states.     Jackson County Legislator Manny Abarco is arrested and charged in Johnson County for domestic battery.  This after he apparently took his two year old son from his mother who filed a missing persons report.  Only in Jackson County.     Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy just unloads on an employee of his, radio host Kirk Minihane.  It's ugly and profane and you will hear what it's like to work for the worst boss ever.   Former Biden spox KJP has left the Dem party, Trump announces travel bans on 19 countries, the Royals play two in St. Lou and classy Dustin Colquitt retires a Chief.

State Sen. Stephen Webber (D-Columbia) was heard shouting on the Missouri Senate floor in Jefferson City during last week's Senate bill-signings, which are normally routine. He was upset over how President Pro Tem Cindy O'Laughlin (R-Shelbina) handled that day. State Sen. Travis Fitzwater (R-Holts Summit) joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri" to discuss the special session and what happened that day.

Senator Fitzwater wants to see a path forward in the Missouri Senate for the special session.

Missouri's 2025 legislative session ended with bitter feelings in the Missouri Senate between Democrats and Republicans. The session also included tension between the House and Senate and State Rep. Marlene Terry (D-Florissant) being removed from committees by her own party's leaders because of her vote in favor of school choice. Despite the tension, State Rep. Melanie Stinnett (R-Springfield) is impressed with the work the Legislature did this year, especially in the House.

The final budget approved by Missouri lawmakers on Friday did not include $500-million in construction projects across the state. House Budget Committee chairman Dirk Deaton (R-Noel) says it purely was a financial decision. Missouri Senate Appropriations Committee chairman Lincoln Hough (R-Springfield) joined us live on "Wake Up Missouri" and says Chairman Deaton didn't inform state senators about the decision. Chairman Hough says the decision will make getting other bills approved during the final week of the 2025 session that much tougher. Chairman Hough says he's received messages of frustration from Missouri House and Senate colleagues over the House decision. He says $50-million for Mizzou's second research reactor that battles cancer is now not funded, along with repairs at the Dent County sheltered workshop and at a foster care building in Bates County:

Missouri's Constitution requires Missouri lawmakers to approve a balanced budget by Friday. While the GOP has supermajorities in both legislative chambers, there are still a number of uncertainties. Senate President Pro Tem Cindy O'Laughlin (R-Shelbina) joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri" to discuss the budget and education. Pro Tem O'Laughlin tells listeners that the budget is very complicated, adding that she believes there will be a consensus between Republicans on education. Pro Tem O'Laughlin says Republican Governor Mike Kehoe wants to give parents choice in schools and she agrees with that. Senator O'Laughlin says parents need the best opportunity for their children with education:

President Donald Trump has appointed State Rep. Ben Baker (R-Neosho) as the state director of Rural Development for the USDA. Baker says it will be a great honor to serve the Trump administration.

Faughn says Mr. Baker has a huge job and that he's respected by legislative colleagues in Jefferson City. Mr. Faughn also discussed potential rule changes in the Missouri Senate and comments made from the dais by Lt. Governor Dave Wasinger:

The Missouri Senate discussed/ debated open enrollment legislation for more than four hours on Wednesday. State Sen. Curtis Trent (R-Springfield), a vocal supporter of open enrollment, joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri." He describes open enrollment as common sense and says it would make a difference in children's lives across the state. He also says there are academic reasons why some parents want to change schools, and says it would help with bullying cases as well. The Missouri House has approved open enrollment. There are GOP opponents to the bill in both chambers, as well as opposition from Democrats. Critics say it would hurt public schools. Supporters disagree with that:

Jefferson City's approximately 14,000 state employees will receive a pay increase in July. The only question is how much they'll receive. Missouri Senate Appropriations Committee chairman Lincoln Hough (R-Springfield) joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri" this morning. Chairman Hough notes the Senate has approved a one percent pay increase for state employees for every two years of service, up to ten percent. Chairman Hough emphasizes the importance of retaining state employees. During the live interview, he also expressed frustration with a computer system that crashed on Tuesday, impacting the Missouri Senate. Chairman Hough didn't mince words during the interview, saying taxpayers have paid $250-million for a computer system that's not working. He also talked the 404 error on his computer:

There were no serious injuries or deaths from Wednesday's tornado that struck mid-Missouri's Pilot Grove. The tornado struck the Katy Manor nursing home, and downed power lines on and near Highway 135. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Pleasant Hill had a survey team in Pilot Grove by Wednesday afternoon. The NWS in Pleasant Hill says it was an EF-2 tornado with 135 mile per hour winds. The tornado was on the ground for six miles. State Rep. Tim Taylor (R-Speed), who represents Pilot Grove in the Legislature, tells 939 the Eagle that neighbors helped neighbors after the tornado. State Sen. Kurtis Gregory (R-Marshall), who also represents Pilot Grove, agrees. Senator Gregory tells listeners that he's grateful that there were no serious injuries or deaths.

The Missouri Senate has approved it. Missouri Farm Bureau backs Senator Gregory's bill, saying many farmers, small business owners and individuals not covered by group health insurance plans struggle to find affordable options on the marketplace:

Missouri's Senate Bill 4, now awaiting Governor Kehoe's signature, would give utility companies more power to raise rates by charging for projects that don't yet produce energy. Former Senator John Lamping discusses how this bill undermines public control over rates and benefits insiders, including high executive pay. While some provisions could help build new plants, the bill could drastically raise costs for consumers. Lamping predicts the governor will likely sign it. Concerned citizens should contact the governor's office now.
