Friends & Neighbors,
Another year has come and gone and I am happy to be back in Jefferson City. My focus this session is on equity. Equality is every student having a classroom where they can learn. Equity is having support systems in place, new books and a comfortable environment where they learn. The State of Missouri must demonstrate they have provided equity to all St. Louis residents. I am delighted to continue this fight in Jefferson City on your behalf and make our state a better place.
In the interim, I held more than a dozen town halls regarding radioactive waste. People expressed sincere concern for the history of gross negligence and the mistreatment of St. Louis City and County residents. I have introduced two pieces of legislation this session to protect St. Louisians and first responders from suffering from the effects of radioactive waste contamination.
