Donnelly pressed to call Missouri special session
Perry Compton reports that after weeks of delay Governor Donnelly called a special session in Jefferson City to aid farm relief. He faced Republican pressure from lawmakers across Missouri while critics argued the surplus funds and July disaster designations should have prompted earlier action. The plan includes freight relief on hay and potential railroad or federal aid, with the outcome uncertain but farmers poised for help.
