Passengers endure long layovers due to connections, while airlines foresee potential schedule changes but report limited increases in air travel amid the energy shortage. Trans Missouri operates four daily round trips on weekdays from Jefferson City Memorial Airport, with weekend variations. Ozark Airlines notes minor impact and possible future cuts if fuel allocations shrink.

Court Rules Road Fund Interest Belongs to Fund
Missouri Supreme Court upholds Cole County ruling that interest income from state road fund money goes to the road fund, not general revenue. Highway Commission had invested 50 million dollars in interest-bearing accounts with interest to the fund, against Treasurer Robinson’s view that such income belongs to general revenue. The decision confirms road funds are for highway purposes only.
