Border Dispute Persists Over Missouri Nebraska Line
A long running Missouri Nebraska border dispute returned to the Missouri Senate floor with a 21 to 7 vote approving a House backed resolution urging the attorney general to take the case to the U S Supreme Court rather than accept a stipulation placing the boundary at the river’s current main channel. The move, tied to a 133000 dollar appropriation, alleges land taxes lost and potential losses to schools, while noting the 63 mile river split and prior interstate agreements dating to statehood and 1957-1957 actions.
