Rep Scherle Sees Key Issues Rise as Session Nears End
Representative Scherle notes only one month remains until adjournment as taxes, appropriations, and liquor by the drink dominate the surface. The governor vetoed the access bill, a billboard bill faced committee protest, and a sifting committee now governs all bills. The tax bill House File 550 becomes a special order, with amendments filed statewide. The Board of Regents, school budgets, and land ownership rules for private colleges are central fights, while a Missouri River land dispute and an elective state superintendent bill spark contention. The liquor issue draws little mail, and a utilities bill passes 101 to 6 after heated debate.
