Debate on reapportionment postponed by House leadership
House leadership delays action on a reapportionment bill amid coalition clashes and party tensions. Rep. Rolwing and GOP leaders pressure for a quick path while Democrats push the Senate-backed plan, with a 83-73 vote to pause debate and a looming conference committee. The dispute involves Gov. Hearnes and St. Louis power brokers, with potential congressional candidacy by Rolwing. Local readers note ongoing aid to the governor and party alignments in Jefferson City.
