Episode Synopsis

Although Missouri Democrats are in the minority in both the House and Senate, senators have more power to affect the flow of legislation thanks to the chamber’s tradition of a strong filibuster and divides between Senate Republicans. With the session winding down, Senate Minority Leader John Rizzo, D-Independence, discusses what’s left to accomplish including passing a state budget and renewing a critical tax that pays for the state’s Medicaid program.
