Draining the Missouri Swamp
Draining the Missouri Swamp

It's been quite the week here in Missouri.

Missouri House Speaker (Dean Plocher) has been off the radar for a few weeks as the Missouri Senate optics broadened from the Freedom Caucus filibuster to force IP reform bills into committee to stripping Freedom Caucus Senators from their committee seats and even their parking spaces at the Missouri Capitol.

Missouri Senate Pro Tem (Caleb Rowden) has overstepped his authority and his place as Pro Tem and at least 10 Missouri Republican Central Committees are asking him to step down and take Cindy O'Laughlin (Senate Floor Leader) with him.

With Caleb Rowden taking the unprecedented step of removing 4 Senators from their committees has everyone scratching their heads because after doing so, he acquiesced to their demands and put ALL IP reform bills in committee.
