Missouri Supreme Court weighs rat bites and bargaining
The Missouri Supreme Court took under advisement two issues from Jefferson City: whether a rat bite case at the Missouri State Penitentiary constitutes cruel and unusual punishment and whether public employee bargaining can be contracted. Attorneys for the St. Louis Teachers Association disputed that the pact created collective bargaining while prison officials defended the pest control measures after rat attacks. A separate roll call notes House votes on offshore lease rules with Missouri delegation positions.

Boillot Urges Management Of Herds In Drought
Missouri farmers are urged to manage cattle herds through winter to secure spring calf production. Director James Boillot says now is the time to evaluate herds and feed amid an extended drought that has dried rangeland and damaged pasture. The state seeks more federal aid, with 36 counties already in disaster programs and 34 more under consideration, plus funds for feed and cattle movements in drought counties. The drought may have caused significant crop losses, estimated at about $600 million.
