Missouri's governor has signed legislation into law providing $50-million to plan and design a new 20-megawatt state-of-the-art research reactor at Mizzou. Governor Mike Kehoe (R) also signed other bills into law this weekend providing $125-million in funding for storm and tornado relief and emergency aid to low-income households impacted by severe weather. Governor Kehoe also signed legislation providing tax incentives and one-time tax credits aimed at keeping the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals in Missouri. "Missouri Times" publisher Scott Faughn joined hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri." Mr. Faughn praises Governor Kehoe's ability to close a deal, saying he did that with the stadium legislation. But Faughn describes this month's special session as the "I-70 special session", saying that if you live in Cole County or southeast Missouri's Bootheel, you received nothing:

Missouri House Majority Leader Alex Riley (R-Springfield) wants to be the next House Speaker. Majority Leader Riley became the first Missouri House Majority Leader elected from Springfield/Greene County in 100 years. He joined hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri" and also discussed the importance of fiscal conservatism. Leader Riley tells listeners that the House did not pass HB 19 because they wanted to keep at least $1-billion on the bottom line. He also says the bill was full of pork-barrel projects in House and Senate districts, including his own:

"Missouri Times" publisher Scott Faughn says this is one of the most bizarre special sessions he's ever seen. The Senate approved the three proposals in Governor Mike Kehoe's (R) special session call: storm damage, tax incentives aimed at keeping the Chiefs and Royals in Missouri and $50-million for a proposed new research reactor at Mizzou in Columbia. Mr. Faughn appeared live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri", telling hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell that the Senate took orders from Governor Kehoe and from the House and didn't push back. Mr. Faughn also discussed State Sen. Rick Brattin's (R-Raymore) vote for stadium legislation. Faughn tells listeners that that Senator Brattin came back to Jefferson City this year as a different senator who wants to accomplish things. Faughn also criticizes the Freedom Caucus, saying it's a way for trial attorneys to protect their ability to file lawsuits:

Missouri Treasurer Vivek Malek (R) has led the effort in Jefferson City to divest from China. He's been pushing Vanguard on the issue as well. Vanguard, the world's second-largest investment firm, has filed paperwork with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch its first-ever emerging market fund that deliberately excludes Chinese equities. Treasurer Malek joined hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell on "Wake Up Missouri":
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:
