Rest Homes Sue Over Pay Increase Dispute in Missouri
Operators of six Missouri nursing homes sue Cole County Circuit Court to stop a 12 percent welfare payment cut, arguing it causes irreparable harm and threatens patient care. They seek continued payments and a court ruling that current rates are reasonable despite cost hikes. The suit names Missouri Nursing Home Association members and cites a 4,574 patient caseload under welfare. Kansas City candidate William M. Hannay blasts Medicaid as a tool of unscrupulous ventures and calls nursing homes fire hazards a national disgrace.

Missouri Faces Federal Aid Cutback Slows Road Projects
Missouri Highway Commission chief engineer M J Snider warned that a 20 percent federal aid cutback in the first quarter will reduce funding to 21.255 million dollars from 26 million. The commission can draw on 10 backlog funds while Congress and federal officials argue the cutback is to curb inflation and slow the economy. Nearby discussions at Columbus Ohio feature governors urging restoration of 4.9 billion in highway funds, with Ohio fearing job losses and stalled projects. Also noted are environmental and interstate policy proposals and a Missouri birth announcement at Audrain Hospital: a son born to Mr and Mrs Donald L Vel trop weighing seven pounds one ounce.
