Eric Greitens, General Assembly, governor, investigation, missouri, Missouri House Special Investigative Committee on Oversight, Speaker, Todd Richardson

Speaker Todd Richardson (r) – May 18, 2018.

Speaker Todd Richardson (r) held an end of session press conference immediately after the session adjourned on Friday evening:

In the context of an impending special session to address the possible impeachment of Governor Eric Greitens (r) the House majority press conference was a celebration of cuts to state revenue, insufficient resources for education and higher education, and the continued diminution of workers’ ability to collectively bargain.

At one point, in response to a media question about Eric Greitens’ (r) impact on legislation during the session most in the republican caucus laughed.

The House Special Investigative Committee on Oversight will be getting additional members (up to this point five Republicans and two Democrats) because, in the words of the Speaker. “There’s a whole lot of work to be done…” The Speaker did not respond to the follow up question asking who those additional members would be.

Bryan Spencer, General Assembly, Jefferson City, missouri, Todd Richardson, virtual education

There’s not much time left in the General Assembly’s regular session. It ends on May 18th at 5:59 p.m.

This morning the House worked on education bills, voting to affirm the bill titles to keep the scope of any amendments narrow and germane to the main bills.

HCS SS SCS SBS 603, 576 & 899 (bills get combined and worked over in both houses of the General Assembly) on the subject of virtual education, was handled on the House floor by Representative Bryan Spencer (R).

Representative Bryan Spencer (R) – May 10, 2018.

After amendments and debate the House voted. The tally was close, with a number of members not yet voting.

The board was held open for a lengthy (and quiet) period:

Some arm twisting:

After the discussion arm twisting on the House floor the board was closed and the bill was third read and passed.
