State Rep. Rudy Veit (R-Wardsville) says state government has an ongoing obligation to continue to function. He's filed straightforward bills regarding Casenet and on the presidential preference primary (PPP). Representative Veit's House Bill 347 reinstates Missouri's presidential preference primary. Veit disagrees with Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, who has said that the PPP costs taxpayers $9.1 million. Secretary Ashcroft has described the presidential preference primary as an election that has no bearing on the presidential race. Representative Veit joined us live in-studio on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri":

Outgoing Missouri House Elementary and Secondary Education Committee chairman Chuck Basye (R-Rocheport) says he's prepared to take legal action, if Columbia's school board doesn't certify his name for the April school board ballot. Chairman Basye joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri." Tuesday was the final day to file for Columbia's April school board race, but Basye says CPS authorities wouldn't let him inside the Aslin building to complete paperwork. He contacted Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt's office and Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft's office, and ended up filing at Boone County clerk Brianna Lennon's office. CPS spokeswoman Michelle Baumstark tells 939 the Eagle that December 27 is a district holiday and that Aslin offices were closed. She says filing was available by appointment and that appointments had to be made by December 22. Chairman Basye says that's a violation of state law, and that candidates should be able to file on the final day without an appointment. Ms. Baumstark says filing isn't certification, and that candidates must be certified and the board must authorize a notice of election and sample ballot before candidates are officially placed on a ballot. Baumstark says the board must do this by the end of January as required by law. She says the board plans to do this at their January 9 meeting:

Governor Mike Parson (R) appointed a familiar name in state government as Missouri's next attorney general. The governor announced the appointment of Andrew Bailey in late November. Mr. Bailey has been serving as general counsel for the governor's office. Bailey will be sworn-in as Missouri's next attorney general on January 3, around the time outgoing attorney general Eric Schmitt is sworn-in to the U.S. Senate in Washington. Bailey joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", telling listeners the transition is going well. He says consumer protection will be a key part of his AG office, noting he's been working on the rural Missouri Gygr-Gas issue at the governor's office. Mr. Bailey also says Josh Devine will serve as Solicitor General and that D. John Sauer will remain in his office as Deputy Attorney General for Special Litigation:

U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-St. Elizabeth) has been working with the Missouri Propane Gas Association and with Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt's office regarding the sudden closing of Gygr-Gas. Congressman Luetkemeyer tells 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri" that the closing left some of his mid-Missouri constituents without propane, during winter and Christmas. The congressman is also praising Governor Mike Parson's executive order regarding Gygr. That order allows other propane companies to fill the tanks of Gygr customers:
