Welcome to an insightful episode of Under the Dome by Empower Missouri, where we delve into the latest from Jefferson City's legislative sessions, particularly focusing on anti-poverty advocacy. Our team, with over a century of dedication, continues to champion evidence-based policies that combat poverty through affordable housing, criminal justice reforms, and food security, aside from supporting healthcare, wages, and more.
Join us as Advocacy Director Sarah Owsley and Executive Director Mallory Rush discuss the whirlwind of Missouri's legislative happenings. We cover the busy yet narrowed scope of late-session bills, the intriguing debates like the unexpected float trip discussions, and the uncertainties surrounding Missouri's state budget deadlines.
On a serious note, we explore the advances and setbacks in housing policy and the controversial propositions affecting low-income communities. Plus, hear about the contentious Second Amendment Preservation Act and its legislative ramifications amid federal disputes. With insightful commentary, we also touch on Missouri's evolving tax laws impacting seniors and those with disabilities alongside capital gains tax cuts.
Tune in for an honest review of legislative dynamics, policymaking challenges, and our collective effort to foster impactful changes in Missouri's socio-economic landscape.
