But this is just an example. There are lots of #moleg bills and amendments in the works that remove local control from counties and cities across Missouri, turn local governing concerns into state regulation.
I wonder if this is about generating fee income for state. 🤷♀️
Has anyone looked at #moleg witness lists to see if St. Louis City Mayor Spencer or her lobbyists sent someone to testify for or against any of these no more local control bills in #moleg? There's a lot of them.
I could write a book on drunk and/or higher than a kite legislating by #moleg.
It's interesting tho that legislator who wrote Mo's modern drunk driving legislation and got stopped for DUI, turned down deal offered by prosecutor, gave up license, apologized to dist, did the program, got re-elected.
After four years of trying, the Missouri House passed legislation Thursday that would require the state to conduct a study on using psilocybin — also known as “magic mushrooms” — and other alternative therapies to treat depression, substance use or as part end-of-life care. #moleg #mogov
A bill now heading to Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe’s desk would take all intoxicating hemp products off the shelves starting Nov. 12 — including THC seltzers currently sold in bars and grocery stores — aligning state law with an upcoming federal ban. #moleg #mogov
No more local control over food trucks if this passes MAGA #moleg
Neither St. Louis City nor County testified on this bill but Springfield/Greene County sent someone to testify against ✊️

Looks like they are basically undoing the law we did passed requiring #religious #BoardingSchools to adhere to some basic restrictions that other #schools do like background checks for staff. #MOleg #Missouri #TroubledTeenIndustry #TroubledTeens #ChildAbuse missouriindependent.com/2026/03/17/m...
Proponents are promising hundreds of millions for education and removal of unregulated slot machines. Opponents say the bill is unconstitutional and law enforcement can rid the state of the convenience store games. #moleg #mogov

Birth control works best when access is easy.
HB 2370 would allow Missourians to receive a full year of birth control at one time, expanding access. Medical experts recommend it. #MOLeg should make it possible.
Submit testimony in support of HB 2370 before midnight tomorrow (4/2) – link in bio!
All, we are cancelling Saturday’s canvass kickoff and will be sharing a big campaign update tomorrow. So please share and watch here tomorrow for more. #garnerformo #moleg
New: Former KC-area officials strike deal with prosecutors, ending criminal investigation.
The deal marks the culmination of a criminal probe into a sparsely populated Jackson County village following a 2023 investigation by @kansascity.com. #moleg #mogov www.kansascity.com/news/local/a...
Missouri says it’s preparing for the future.
The budget says something else.
The system isn’t disappearing. It’s shrinking.
And the parts that made it work are starting to go. #drugpolicy #harmrediction #publichealth #moleg open.substack.com/pub/chadsabo...
As Missouri Republicans push a constitutional amendment to phase out the state income tax, the proposal’s House sponsor told a Senate committee Wednesday that sales taxes are a fairer, more transparent way to raise money — even as he insisted the measure itself would not directly raise them. #moleg
After nine hours of debate over competing proposals to ban intoxicating hemp products, the Missouri Senate finally approved a House bill Tuesday night that would align state law with a federal ban set to take effect in November. #moleg #mogov
New: Kansas City has long benefited from outsized influence in Congress.
But the potential departures of its two most experienced lawmakers — one on his own terms, one forced — could diminish that power. #moleg #mogov www.kansascity.com/news/politic...
The first Republican primary without an incumbent in 26 years in Missouri’s 6th Congressional District opened Tuesday with a clash over an endorsement that is likely the foreshadowing of a summer-long slugfest between top contenders. #moleg #mogov
That's what you get when ur police force is set up like an invading army & not accountable at all to the city's residents.
The KCPD is never, ever going to be a competent police force until local control is re-established.
Honestly, the best bet for that is probably a ballot measure, given #moleg
Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Kansas City-based CBD American Shaman and several affiliated companies, demanding an immediate halt to the company’s advertising and sale of kratom products. #moleg #mogov
A fiscal crunch that threatens to consume Missouri’s remaining general revenue surplus reduced — but did not eliminate — budget earmarks that send money to politically favored projects and organizations. #moleg #mogov
Organizers say a court fight over Secretary of State Denny Hoskins’ ballot language delayed coalition-building, forcing them to abandon a 2026 push. #moleg #mogov

A Missouri Senate committee on Monday gave a warm reception to a bill intended to bar candidates from raising money with automatically recurring donations, a practice the sponsor of the legislation called “appalling.” #moleg #mogov
Organizing for what? As long as they've got a vice grip on #MOLeg, it very literally does not matter what residents vote for in this shitty fucking state.
Because Sam Graves withdrew from the race so late, candidate filing for the 6th District will close tomorrow at 5 p.m. and reopen from Tuesday, April 7, to Friday, April 10.
Here's my look at the candidates circling the GOP primary. #moleg #mogov
Republican state Sen. Mike Henderson believes he has the support to advance a bill that would impose age limits on kratom sales and ban the stronger opioid-like products known as 7-OH.
But the effort derailed last week when the 7-OH ban ran into bipartisan resistance. #moleg #mogov
