Missouri House Speaker Dean Plocher (R-Des Peres) says the Legislature could have hit a grand slam on Friday, but instead hit a double or possibly a triple. While he's pleased with the session, Speaker Plocher tells 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri" that some senators put themselves above the state on Friday, describing their behavior as selfish. Speaker Plocher is pleased the Legislature has passed bipartisan legislation to end state taxes on Social Security benefits. Under the bill, Missouri’s senior homeowners would be spared from rate hikes on property taxes. If the governor signs the bill, it would be up to counties to approve the property tax breaks for people 65 and older. Speaker Plocher is also pleased with I-70 transportation funding. He says he couldn't be more proud of his 111-member GOP House caucus and of the entire 163-member House:

Missouri's lieutenant governor says the one thing that is for certain in the Missouri Senate is that nothing is for certain. He's referring to the chaos that happened Friday in Jefferson City on the final day of Missouri's 2023 session. The final day featured finger-pointing and GOP infighting in the Senate. Lt. Governor Mike Kehoe (R-Jefferson City), who's running for governor, says there are positives from the session. One of them is $2.8 billion to six-lane I-70 across Missouri. Kehoe describes that as a game-changer. He's also pleased with a bipartisan bill that passed which will end state taxes on Social Security benefits starting in 2024. That bill is now on the governor’s desk:

The Durham report and we believe the FBI is full of it! Chris Arps joins us and we talk about the hits and misses from the legislative session and outgoing STL prosecutor wants to pardon a guy.

Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe on his take on the legislative session, the importance of I-70, and what he put in a commencement speech that he recently delivered. Dreaming about what the I-70/63 Interchange could look like when MODOT revamps it. There's a new member on the JC City Council

The Durham investigation and we believe the FBI is not out of the clear yet. What older women....65+....do you consider "hot"? Is Rick Perry going to run for prez again?!?!

Missouri's GOP secretary of state and gubernatorial candidate Jay Ashcroft says Missourians don't elect legislators for social media speeches but elect them to enact good policy. He's disappointed with Friday's chaos in the Missouri Senate, which featured GOP infighting. Ashcroft blames people putting politics ahead of policy. Secretary Ashcroft delivered a clear rebuke to the GOP-controlled Legislature on "Wake Up Mid-Missouri". He says despite GOP supermajorities in both chambers, the Legislature did not deliver a parents bill of rights, a big tax cut and initiative petition reform. He says Republicans must stand up to the Democrats, who are outnumbered 111-51 in the House and 24-10 in the Senate:
