Tourism Agency Faces Partial Shutdown Amid Delays
The Missouri tourism commission delayed leadership changes and postponed decisions on ad agency contracts. Acting director to serve from July 1 to at least July 16 as St. Louis firm D Arcy is set to take over advertising, with no agency in place for a brief period. Will W. Davis resigned after requesting $1.2 million for the new year, a figure tied to fiscal pressures and prompted concern among commissioners and Gov. Hearnes' aides.

Retired Pay Boost for Missouri Patrol and Highway Workers
The Missouri Highway Patrol and Highway Department sought faster final approval as a bill to raise retirement benefits cleared the process. Sponsors argued the actuarial plan is sound, proposing a 12 percent increase in retirement for both groups and no requirement for state action beyond passage. The normal annuity would rise from 1 percent to 1 1/8 percent of the average final salary per year of service.

Prison payroll cap raised to fifteen thousand a year
A Mississippi legislative study group urged raising the maximum payroll deduction on salaries to 15 000 and backed broader prison reforms including furloughs for qualified inmates. The report notes five years in prison often ends rehabilitation and favors home visits and employment interviews, while urging better prison guard salaries and state cooperation on women’s detention facilities. The House previously killed a furlough bill, and the Senate approved absentee ballot counting to align with election day procedures.
