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
