(AUDIO): State lawmaker says MoDOT is already starting to remove dead deer, ahead of legislation
A mid-Missouri state lawmaker says recent legislation approved by a House committee has prompted state transportation officials to prioritize removing dead deer and large dead animals from roads.
State Rep. Tim Taylor (R-Speed) serves on the Missouri House Transportation Accountability Committee, which has approved a bipartisan bill requiring the state Department of Transportation (MoDOT) to remove and bury dead deer that are large enough to impede traffic.
“All of us who are on the committee got a letter sent to us. MoDOT and Conservation got together and had a meeting. They discussed it. MoDOT said specifically that it’s their responsibility to take care of this and that they will do that,” Taylor says.
Under bipartisan legislation from State Rep. Kent Haden (R-Mexico) that’s been approved in committee, MoDOT would be required to remove the dead deer, with the Missouri Department of Conservation paying those expenses under the one-page House Bill 404. Representative Taylor tells 939 the Eagle that this is important for safety reasons and for appearances.
“It’s more than just the deer to me. It really is trying to get MoDOT to get that cleanup at a higher level on the priority list,” says Taylor.
Representative Taylor notes the World Cup is coming to Kansas City in 2026, bringing large numbers of soccer fans from across the globe. Senate Minority Leader John Rizzo (D-Independence) has predicted that the 2026 World Cup will generate $695-million in economic activity for Missouri. Rizzo compares it to multiple Super Bowls over a 30-day period.
President’s Day is a federal, Missouri and county holiday
Monday is President’s Day, also known as President George Washington’s birthday. It is a federal, Missouri state and county holiday.
The federal President’s Day holiday is celebrated each year on the third Monday in February. The holiday was first established in 1885 to recognize President George Washington’s birthday. He was the nation’s first president.
Banks and financial institutions are closed today, and there will be no regular mail delivery. Most of the approximately 14,000 state employees who work in Jefferson City are off today, to observe the holiday. The Missouri State Highway Patrol is working today, as are county sheriff’s departments. Corrections officers at state prisons in Jefferson City, Fulton, Moberly, Boonville and Tipton are also working today.
While the Missouri Senate is in session this afternoon in Jefferson City, the House is not in session until tomorrow.
President’s Day is one of Missouri’s 13 official state holidays.
(AUDIO): Former Missouri House Elementary and Secondary Education Committee chair Chuck Basye (R-Rocheport) appears on 939 the Eagle’s “CEO Roundtable”
Boone County Circuit Judge Brouck Jacobs ruled in late January that Columbia Public Schools (CPS) violated state statute in former State Rep. Chuck Basye’s CPS school board filing case. Judge Jacobs ordered Boone County’s clerk to add Basye’s name to the April school board ballot, which she’s done. The former Missouri House Elementary and Secondary Education Committee chair is one of seven candidates on the April 4th ballot. The Rocheport Republican joined host Fred Parry in-studio for the hour Saturday morning on 939 the Eagle’s “CEO Roundtable,” telling listeners there is no political diversity on the Columbia school board. Basye also says Judge Jacobs’ ruling was major:
