Steven Rogers is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Saint Louis University, and the Director of the SLU/YouGov Poll. He joins Megan with a look at the latest results across Missouri. How do residents feel about the jobs their elected leaders are doing, and do voters really support eliminating the state's income tax?

More and more Missourians are waiting in jail for services from the state's mental health department, which has a backlog of more than 500 people with stalled cases. Hear what mental health directors are telling state lawmakers.

A proposed Missouri bill would automatically expunge the criminal records of thousands of Missourians convicted of certain non-violent crimes. It's part of a larger, nationwide campaign to pass similar laws. Thirteen states have already passed their own version of the measure, including Illinois. We talk with Empower Missouri Executive Director Mallory Rusch and advocate Patty Berger, president of the St. Louis chapter of All of Us or None, to discuss the four-year effort to help people move on from their past criminal convictions. We also learn about Illinois' successful passage of its own Clean Slate Act with Artinese Myrik, deputy director of Live Free Illinois.

Article text: David Stokes Was Right: Property Tax Caps Are Squeezing Local Budgets Nationwide By Patrick Tuohey Property tax relief has become a rallying cry for state policymakers across the country. Frustration over rising home values and the cost of living has driven lawmakers in states including Indiana, Ohio, and Wyoming to enact sweeping property tax cuts in recent sessions. But while these measures may look attractive on the campaign trail, they are already putting real strain on local governments that depend on property taxes to fund schools, public safety, and other essential services. An article in the publication Governing titled “State Property Tax Relief Pushes Local Budgets to the Brink” highlights this emerging dynamic. Lawmakers in several states have pursued homeowner tax credits, rate caps, or other limitations without fully compensating counties, cities, and school districts for the revenue they lose. The result? Significant budget shortfalls, belt-tightening by local governments, and even more political pressure from local leaders to revisit state legislation cutting their revenue. These developments matter to Missouri because they illustrate the unintended consequences of well-meaning tax cuts. As my colleague David Stokes has written in testimony before the Missouri Legislature, Missouri depends on property taxes to fund local services efficiently, and ill-designed state interventions can do more harm than good. Stokes emphasized that “Missouri's property assessment and tax system needs reforms, but efforts to reduce it dramatically or eliminate it entirely go too far,” and that the state should not trade one revenue problem for another by hollowing out the tax base localities rely on. What's happening outside of Missouri mirrors Stokes' concerns. In Indiana, a roughly $1.2 billion homeowner tax relief package enacted in 2025 will cost local governments an estimated $1.5 billion over three years, forcing many towns and counties to cut services or revise budgets mid-cycle. Wyoming's 25 percent cut on assessed home value for tax purposes similarly leaves schools—which receive roughly 70 percent of property tax revenue—scrambling to balance their books. Stokes has warned that limiting property tax growth without careful policy design reduces the property tax base, shifting the burden to other, more distortionary taxes. He argues that property taxes—particularly on land and real estate—are among the least harmful taxes to economic growth compared with income or sales taxes. Wholesale caps or freezes discourage local fiscal responsibility. Missouri's recent property tax changes—including the creation of “zero percent” and “five percent” counties where valuations can't drive tax increases without voter approval—reflect a similar temptation to cut taxes without addressing the broader revenue implications. Stokes has noted that such approaches may do little to improve fairness while shrinking the tax base that supports schools and local services. If policymakers in the Show-Me State pay attention to the experience of other states, they'll proceed with caution. Cutting property taxes without sustainable alternate revenue exacerbates budget stress for counties and schools and shifts costs to taxes that are more damaging to growth, such as income or sales taxes. Ensuring that relief targets those most in need—as opposed to broad caps that change how local governments fund core services—preserves local autonomy and avoids the fiscal cliff other states are now confronting. Missouri's leaders should focus on reforms that improve fairness and economic efficiency—not simply reducing bills at the expense of services Missourians value. Produced by Show-Me Opportunity

Marc Cox reconnects with Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe after a Pentagon briefing interruption earlier in the hour. The conversation opens with reaction to escalating U.S. military action against Iran and the reported deaths of American service members. Kehoe expresses support for the administration's actions, emphasizes solidarity with military families, and frames the conflict as a necessary response to long-standing Iranian hostility toward the U.S. and Israel. The discussion then pivots to Missouri policy, where Kehoe outlines his push to eliminate the state income tax and restructure the tax code. He argues the proposal would return approximately $9 billion annually to Missourians, modernize a tax framework dating back to 1931, and improve the state's competitiveness with its eight bordering states. Kehoe stresses that any sales tax restructuring would be constitutionally limited to offsetting income tax reductions and would require voter approval. The segment closes with questions about St. Louis city finances, police oversight liability, and proposed pay raises for officers. Kehoe reiterates his support for law enforcement funding, calling public safety a core budget priority while acknowledging the fiscal pressures facing local government.

This week's episode of the Business Brief podcast examines how banking deserts affect entrepreneurs in Missouri. Then, the show takes a deeper look at why more Missourians are commuting further for work.

11-year-old Max Williams of Columbia suffers from chronic lung disease, which is formally known as bronchopulmonary dyplasia. He was born 15 weeks early and weighed just one pound. Max has been recognized as the 2026 Children's Miracle Network (CMN) Champion Child for MU Health Care's Children's Hospital. Max and his parents, Alayna and Mark, joined Peter Thiele and Brian Hauswirth live on 939 the Eagle's "Radiothon".

Eight-year-old Kennedy Hartmann of Jefferson City has autism and suffers from a pediatric feeding disorder and has bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Her parents, Kristen and Kevin Hartmann, joined Peter Thiele and Brian Hauswirth live on 939 the Eagle's "Radiothon" and thank everyone who has donated. They say having the hospital in Columbia is a lifesaver, literally, for mid-Missourians who otherwise would have to travel to St. Louis or Kansas City:

Marc speaks with pro-life advocate Kate Sickles, who breaks down the devastating fallout from Missouri's 2024 Amendment 3 — which enshrined abortion up to birth and gender procedures for minors into the state constitution. Sickles exposes how deception, weak voter turnout, and silence from church leaders allowed the measure to pass, citing shocking data showing only half of Christians are registered to vote and even fewer show up. She warns that chemical abortions now make up most terminations and that Missouri lawmakers are barred from passing safety restrictions under the current law. Sickles urges Missourians to unite, register, and vote “Yes” on Amendment 3 this November to overturn the radical constitutional change.

Legislation that would eliminate Missouri's state income tax has the strong support of Missouri House Majority Floor Leader Alex Riley (R-Springfield). He joined hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell live on "Wake Up Missouri" and says it would be a net savings for most Missourians. Leader Riley tells listeners that states without income taxes do better economically, including blue Washington state. Democratic critics say it would blow a hole in Missouri's budget and worry about the impact on state services:

More than a year after Missouri voters narrowly approved the legalization of sports betting, the books are now open across the state. Missourians wagered more than $543 million in December, although the state made little tax revenue from that. Now a bill could legalize video lottery terminals.

Starting today, Missourians can legally bet on sports. St. Louis Public Radio's Sarah Kellogg reports, it marks the end of a years-long effort to legalize sports betting in the state, one that ultimately came down to a vote of the people.

Missourians will finally get their chance to place wagers on sporting events on Monday, Dec. 1. That's because the Show-Me State's voters narrowly legalized sports betting last year, meaning that St. Louisans will no longer have to physically travel to Illinois to place a wager. STLPR's Sarah Kellogg talks about what sports betting enthusiasts should expect.

On the latest episode of the Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air, STLPR's Sarah Kellogg and Jason Rosenbaum break down the Dec. 1 arrival of sports betting in Missouri. Rosenbaum also talks with STLPR's Brian Munoz about the quo warranto trial of St. Louis Sheriff Alfred Montgomery. And he also discusses St. Louis County's budgetary woes with St. Louis County Public Health Director Kanika Cunningham.

Welcome to Part 23 of our Joseph Smith the Podcast series with Dr. John G. Turner. Today we are continuing our discussion of Chapter 19 of his new book “Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet” that covers the years 1838-1839 in Missouri.Today we will dive deeper into one of the most volatile and consequential moments in early Latter-day Saint history: the escalating conflict between the Mormon settlers and the Missourians in the late 1830s. In this episode, we examine how political tensions, misinformation, vigilante actions, and religious absolutism collided to create a crisis that would lead to the infamous extermination order and some of the darkest events of the Mormon-Missouri War.We explore the political landscape of Missouri, Joseph Smith's rising militancy, the Danites, the allegations made by Thomas Marsh and Orson Hyde, the tragedy at Haun's Mill, and the forces that brought both sides to the brink. From mob violence to theological justifications, from desperate settlers to governors refusing to intervene, this chapter shows how a religious movement and a frontier state found themselves locked in a spiral neither could escape.If you've been following the series, this episode continues directly from Part 22 and sets the stage for the next chapter: Liberty Jail.Please purchase the book ⁠here⁠.To support this series please donate ⁠here⁠.

Independence, Missouri, was to be the culmination of the Saints' dreams and revelations for the establishment of Zion in the last days. Many were obedient and gave everything they had to create Zion and others were disobedient and lacked Faith. A number of mistakes were made by the Saints and the Missourians. The results were tragic. What went wrong in Missouri? Was the prophet Joseph Smith wrong about the revelations he received? Why did the Lord send the Saints to Independence, if he knew they would fail? If the failure of the establishment of Zion was due to sin, what sins did the Saints commit that brought them such horrible troubles? As relations between the Saints and the Missourians soured, Jackson County leaders demanded a meeting. At the July 20th meeting, the Jackson County leaders gave the Saints a list of demands: 1) No more Mormonites could settle in Jackson County. 2) Those already in the county must sell their property and leave as soon as possible. 3) Printing of 'The Evening and the Morning Star' must stop immediately. 4) The church storehouse and shops must close as soon as possible. Not knowing exactly what to do and needing to seek the prophet's counsel, Bishop Edward Partridge asked for three month stay to communicate with the Prophet in Ohio. The Missouri leaders refused. In the end, they gave the Bishop fifteen minutes to decide to accept the terms. His unwillingness to obey the order led to him being tarred and feathered in front of the Independence courthouse. The expulsion of the Saints from Missouri had begun. Join Lynne Hilton Wilson and professor Janiece Johnson as they discuss the details behind this exciting and tragic period of Church History.
