Missouri House Drops Sunday Beer and Election Day Liquor Plan
Missouri House scrapped liberalized liquor provisions advancing introduced by Rep. John Blasé. The measure would have allowed five percent beer sales on Sundays and alcohol on special election days, but banned liquor sales on primary or general election days. The vote also included final approval of higher salaries for 12 of the state's 14 department directors to $40,000, amid debate over workload and pay. The Senate rejected an anti redlining bill to curb arbitrary homeowners policy cancellations.

Senate Bill Modifies Campaign Finance Law in Missouri
The Missouri Senate gave first round approval to a broad rewrite of the Campaign Finance and Disclosure law after a four hour session. The bill tightens what must be disclosed and lowers reporting thresholds, but retains union and corporate contributions with required reports. Senator John Schneider touted it as reasonable, while Senator A Clifford Jones pressed to keep bans on direct corporate or union financing. The bill’s fate follows a court challenge to the current law and a House defeat of a similar measure earlier.
