The Show-Me Institute is hosting a bipartisan election security panel tomorrow night at 6 at the Country Club of Missouri in Columbia. That’s on Woodrail Avenue. Democratic Boone County clerk Brianna Lennon and St. Louis County Democratic elections director Eric Fey will be there, as will two Republicans: Greene County clerk Shane Schoeller of Willard and Kurt Bahr, who serves as St. Charles County’s director of elections. Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft spoke on 939 the Eagle’s “Wake Up Mid-Missouri”, telling listeners the panel deserves praise for answering questions from Missourians. Secretary Ashcroft also wants to see statutory changes for random audits after elections and for residency:
(AUDIO): Former mid-Missouri hospital employee says money was taken out of check, but company didn’t pay premiums
A former employee of the now-closed Mexico hospital says she has thousands of dollars in medical bills that she didn’t expect.
Marissa Hagedorn has a two-year-son with spina bifida.
“They were taking our premiums out and taking money out of our paychecks. So it looked like we had our self-funded plans. If you went on the websites and that of our health insurance, it said active. So we all thought that our health insurance was there,” Hagedorn tells 939 the Eagle.
State Rep. Kent Haden (R-Mexico) tells 939 the Eagle that money was taken out of hospital employees’ checks for health care, but the company didn’t pay insurance premiums. Ms. Hagedorn lives in Audrain County, north of Columbia
“I mean, hurt and betrayed. It’s something that with my son’s diagnosis at birth and before birth, he has to have health insurance. He will always have medical bills,” Hagedorn says.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has told 939 the Eagle’s “Wake Up Mid-Missouri” that his office is conducting an investigation into what’s happened at the now-closed Mexico and Fulton hospitals. Representative Haden, whose district includes Audrain and Callaway counties in the Missouri House, says the Legislature should consider holding hearings and has described those areas as “health deserts.”
Parson, Kehoe to address Missouri pork producers and commodity group leaders on Tuesday
Missouri’s governor and lieutenant governor will keynote Tuesday night’s Missouri Pork Expo in Osage Beach.
Missouri Pork Association (MPA) spokeswoman Diane Slater tells 939 the Eagle that about 600 people are expected to attend the two-day expo, which is underway this morning at Margaritaville Lake resort.

Governor Parson says the pork industry contributes more than $1-billion annually to the state’s economy. MPA executive vice president Don Nikodim has told 939 the Eagle that the pork industry is responsible for about 25,000 to 30,000 jobs statewide.

Columbia’s city council green lights money for True/False; city to build five new bus shelters
Columbia’s city council has voted to approve $15,000 in tourism development funds to assist with travel-related expenses for filmmakers heading to True/False next week.
The four-day film festival will begin next Thursday (March 2) and is expected to draw a crowd of more than 10,000 people. City officials say True/False brings more than 150 filmmakers, artists and musicians from around the globe.
Supporters say True/False has a positive impact on the image of Columbia as a tourism destination.
Meantime, voter-approved quarter-cent capital improvement sales tax revenue is funding a $49,000 project to build five new bus shelters.
Columbia’s city council heard a report on the plan at Monday night’s meeting. The council voted in September to suspend transportation fares for users of the GoCOMO bus system this fiscal year. The bus system has been operating fare-free since the COVID pandemic in March 2020. GoCOMO says more than 43,000 passengers ride the city’s bus system each month.
The five shelters will be built at Rollins and Tiger Avenue, Garth and Sexton at Oak Towers, Brown School and Edenton, Paris road and Hinkson Avenue and at Hathman Village shopping center on Paris road.
