State Rep. David Tyson Smith’s (D-Columbia) district is primarily in north Columbia, but he also represents some areas south of I-70 as well. Representative Smith joined us live this morning in-studio on 939 the Eagle’s “Wake Up Mid-Missouri.” He says the transgender issue is being used as a “wedge” issue by some in Jefferson City. Representative Smith tells listeners that 40 percent of his constituents are Republicans, and that no one brings up transgender issues when he goes door-to-door. He says his constituents are worried about roads and I-70. Representative Smith also tells “Wake Up Mid-Missouri” that he’d like to see the GOP-controlled Legislature focus more on education, paying teachers more and having safer elections:
UPDATE: Hurricane Idalia makes landfall; Columbia-based Missouri Task Force One in Pensacola
Powerful Hurricane Idalia has made landfall as a category 3 storm, with winds of about 125 miles per hour. CNN reports it’s inflicting deadly storm surge and winds not seen in the Panhandle region in 125 years.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has been warning of a “life-threatening, dangerous situation” with Idalia, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) has been warning residents that this will be a major hurricane. The governor also says more than 30,000 utility workers are ready to repair outages once the storm passes.
Columbia-based Missouri Task Force One (MO-TF1) is on the ground in the Florida Panhandle, after being deployed to Pensacola, a town of about 54,000. MO-TF1 is one of 28 urban search and rescue teams in the United States. Task Force One’s 45 members left Columbia on Monday evening. Boone County Fire Protection District assistant chief Gale Blomenkamp says they could be deployed for up to two weeks.

Mizzou officials preparing for traffic impact from rare Thursday night game
The University of Missouri is requesting all employees who work on-campus in non-public roles to work remotely Thursday, starting at noon.
That’s to accommodate the increased traffic with Mizzou football’s season opener tomorrow night. Kickoff is set for 7 at Faurot Field in Columbia. Traffic is normally heavy anyway on weekday afternoons near Columbia’s Stadium and Providence intersection.
Mizzou also says some students, faculty and staff may be asked to park in locations “other than their assigned location” tomorrow afternoon.
