Missouri Senate Debate Shows Narrow Gaps on Dam and Death Penalty
In St Louis a Friday debate before the Missouri Bar and Women Voters, Republican Danforth and Democrat Hearnes largely agree on most issues. They diverge over the Meramec Dam and capital punishment, with Danforth opposing both and Hearnes supporting the dam and the death penalty. Both favor abortion restrictions, limited congressional terms, Israel support, Panama Canal control, and keeping the St Louis area airport in Missouri. They criticize federal spending and deficits and advocate a healthier economy through a balanced budget. A Kansas City lawyer noted their similarities aside from style.
