Columbia Regional Airport (COU) manager Michael Parks travels to Arizona next week to meet with American and other airlines about additional service from COU. Mr. Parks confirms one of the issues he and Columbia Regional Economic Development Incorporated (REDI) president Stacey Button will be discussing is service from COU to Charlotte. Mr. Parks tells 939 the Eagle that he’s optimistic. Jefferson City Mayor Ron Fitzwater joined us live on 939 the Eagle’s “Wake Up Mid-Missouri”, telling listeners that he’s pleased with that news. Mayor Fitzwater says COU is huge for Jefferson City. He notes while the Jefferson City Memorial airport is Missouri’s sixth-busiest, it does not provide passenger air service. Mayor Fitzwater tells listeners that he has moved all of his flights to COU, rather than having to fly out of St. Louis or Kansas City. During the show, Mayor Fitzwater also recapped last night’s Cole County Lincoln Days in Jefferson City, where retiring U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-St. Elizabeth) was honored. Mayor Fitzwater tells listeners that Congressman Luetkemeyer has done a great job of representing Jefferson City and mid-Missouri on Capitol Hill:

(LISTEN): Former Boone County clerk Taylor Burks announces congressional run on “Wake Up Mid-Missouri”
Eight-term U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-St. Elizabeth) will be retiring in December, after 16 years on Capitol Hill. Missouri’s new third congressional district includes Columbia south of Broadway, Ashland, Hartsburg, Fulton, Boonville, California, Kingdom City, Holts Summit, Jefferson City, Linn and New Florence. It also includes Wentzville and O’Fallon. Former Boone County clerk Taylor Burks announced his run to try to replace Congressman Luetkemeyer, during a live interview on “Wake Up Mid-Missouri” this morning. Mr. Burks tells listeners that he’s the only candidate who’s looking at this race from mid-Missouri, and that the district should be represented by someone from central Missouri. State Sen. Mary Elizabeth Coleman (R-Arnold) and former State Sen. Bob Onder (R-Lake St. Louis) are also running. Mr. Burks criticized the redistricting process that drew the new boundaries, saying central Missouri “got sliced up by some jokers in Jefferson City.” National security is a top priority for Mr. Burks, who’s a veteran. He’s also touting transportation, saying service roads along I-70 from St. Louis to Columbia literally run out and that must change:

(LISTEN): Boosting jury pay is a priority for Missouri Supreme Court Chief Justice and key mid-Missouri lawmaker
The Missouri Supreme Court’s chief justice says judges across the Show-Me State are embarrassed to tell jurors what jury pay is.
Chief Justice Mary Russell spoke during the recent 2024 State of the Judiciary address in Jefferson City. She’s urging lawmakers to improve juror pay, noting Missouri’s statutory minimum hasn’t been increased since 1989 and is just $6 per day and seven cents a mile for traveling from their homes to the courthouse and back. Missouri House Judiciary Committee vice chair Rudy Veit (R-Wardsville) backs Chief Justice Russell’s proposal.
“When you ask some of these jurors to give up two, three or four weeks for a trial, it’s hard to keep their mind on what’s being heard in the courtroom when they got major things going on in their life,” Representative Veit tells 939 the Eagle’s “Wake Up Mid-Missouri.”
Representative Veit has filed bipartisan legislation to boost jury pay, but his three-page House bill 1457 hasn’t received a hearing yet. You can listen to the full “Wake Up” interview with Representative Veit here.
