Missouri House committee votes to make it harder to pass some ballot issues

from St. Louis on the Air

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe isn’t just calling lawmakers back to Jefferson City to redraw the state’s congressional lines.

The idea has received strong support from Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins, a Republican. Hoskins responds to points raised by the plan’s detractors and explains why he feels the proposal will fare well at the ballot box.
