IPSC Blames Feds For Gas Bill Hikes
In Missouri, natural gas rates rose sharply over two years due to federal price increases approved by the Federal Power Commission. Laclede Gas Co. and Gas Service Co. passed higher wholesale costs to about 1.0 million customers, lifting average bills by roughly 30 percent at peak, with PSC officials arguing pass-throughs reflect federal actions rather than state policy.

Disclosure Change Gets OK In Senate
The Missouri Senate tentatively approved a bill to revise income disclosure rules from the 1974 campaign act. It would exempt candidates spending under 500 dollars while requiring those above that threshold to disclose ownership and certain salary sources, with further limits on what must be reported. The measure faces one more Senate vote before House consideration, and a separate House proposal remains uncertain on the debate calendar. Additionally the Senate rejected a move to permit direct corporate and union contributions to candidates.
