No Welfare For Chiefs, Commercial Airlines At The Lake, & Making The Constitution Sticky | Ep 27 w/ Rep Jeff Vernetti

State Rep. Jeff Vernetti (Camden County) is back — and this one gets spicy.

We talk about the stadium subsidy bill (and why he voted no on the Chiefs & Royals stadiums), a huge step toward commercial air service at Lake of the Ozarks, and a push to make it harder to rewrite Missouri’s constitution.

Plus: ADA lawsuit shakedowns, senior pension reform, and fixing the state’s mental-health backlog (county jails are filled with mental health inmates that the state can't handle.)

This is a full-throttle look at Missouri politics and how it actually hits home at the Lake.

Topics:

• Chiefs & Royals stadium subsidies

• Redistricting and Initiative Petition reform

• Paid leave, minimum wage, and Prop A round two

• The future of the Osage Beach airport ✈️

• Local school policy & open enrollment

• Predatory ADA website lawsuits

• Pension relief for seniors

• Jails, mental health, and county budgets

• Growth vs. charm at the Lake
