New Jefferson City Pool: Outdoor or Indoor Future?
Prospects for a new swimming pool in Jefferson City split along seasonality and cost. Outdoor supporters cite lower cost and quicker relief of crowded facilities, while indoor backers argue for year round use and federal funding potential. Officials consider enclosing options at existing sites, with finance committee detailing road and parking costs and seeking state grants to cover half, funded by Park Board cuts and federal aid.

Nursing home crackdown targets deficient facilities nationwide
Federal officials warned 31 states and the District of Columbia that as much as 93.4 million in Medicaid funds could be withheld unless nursing home certification deficiencies were corrected. States must submit corrective plans by December 15 and show marked improvements by February 1, with inspections of all 7,000 facilities due by July 1. Minority delegates met to address the double jeopardy of being old and non white as sessions on health care and elderly policy proceeded.

Senators back Little Hoover plan in Missouri Senate
Senators backed the Little Hoover commission recommendations on executive reorganization and higher education. Ben Spradling signed the state executive reorganization bill proposing ten departments and a stronger higher ed board, with MO University likely opposing. A separate bill would allow year round school classes funded by state aid for up to 200 days per year, enabling four quarter terms and potential local bond savings.

Inductions barred pending court test
An appeals ruling by Judge William Bougias, backed by the ACLU, delays inductions for up to 1,000 draftees amid claims the revised draft law grants deferments and rights to personal appeals, witnesses, and explained denials. The conflict centers on a loophole tied to a national emergency clause and interpretation of the Sept. 28 law.

Tax relief for elderly hits house
A state plan to grant income tax credits for residents over 65 who paid property tax or rent drew action at the Miscuis House on the first day of pre introduction. The measure would cost about 11 million annually and could qualify about 11 percent of the state’s 4 677 399 residents. The batch also included bills on a 1 60 minimum wage in 1973 rising to 2 an hour later, extended unemployment insurance for state workers, higher old age checks, and a one cent tax on beverage containers.
Head Start officials cite policy gaps in eight-county area
Head Start leaders blame lack of definite operating policy for the program across eight counties. The director, Mrs Jerens Sitter, and aide Mrs Lela Shaeffer face a potential appeal after a local parent council requested resignations. The process routes appeals first to the Area Policy Advisory Committee, then to the HDC area board in Columbia. Officials note long-standing operating procedure problems and unclear job descriptions, with Crawford stating he is the fifth Head Start director this year. A Thursday meeting was announced for all Head Start parents to discuss the firing.
