JEFFERSON CITY — State Sen. Ed Emery, R-Lamar, recently added a new audio link to his multimedia page, which is located on his Missouri Senate website. This page features audio and video links (both streaming and broadcast quality — when available) for visitors to listen to and watch Sen. Emery address issues that are important to him and the citizens of the 31st Senatorial District.
The new audio link includes Sen. Emery discussing Senate Bill 586, which was vetoed this week. The veto was then overridden by the Missouri General Assembly. The measure will change the definition of “current operating expenditures” and “state adequacy target” for the purposes of state funding and applies the definition of “average daily attendance” to charter schools. He also talks about House Bill 1891, which was vetoed earlier this year. The Missouri House of Representatives has overridden the veto and sent the measure back to the Missouri Senate. The proposal would create new provisions of law relating to labor organizations.
