Missouri House Adjourns For Quorum Shortfall And Socials
The Missouri House adjourned at noon due to a lack of quorum as many members left for home over the weekend. Gov. Gardner hosted a Friday night reception at the Governor's Mansion for representatives, with about eighteen in attendance and a brief address from the governor. The session included a committee workload with around 1800 bills introduced, but many will die. night sessions and revenue bills remain likely. A fragment of a soldier’s letter expresses plans to return home for the 4th of July and mentions training and reading about the Browning machine rifle.
