Missouri Passes Emergency Relief Bill in Quick Session
The Missouri General Assembly approved a 1.5 million dollar emergency relief bill four days before the original six and a half million allocation would run out. Lawmakers criticized Governor Lloyd C. Stark loudly, and debated using impounded insurance premiums to fund old age pensions, with the House printing the governor’s message and the Senate urging action or a possible special session. The six day session closed amid ongoing political rancor and a death-recess period.
