Former U.S. Rep. Billy Long (R-Springfield) accumulated one of the most conservative voting records in Missouri’s GOP delegation during his 12 years on Capitol Hill. For State of the Union every winter, Congressman Long stood in the aisle before and after every speech, shaking the hands of both President Barack Obama (D) and Donald Trump (R). Presidents Obama and Trump also signed Congressman Long’s St. Jude tie, and the ties were auctioned off to help St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in Memphis. Some of Congressman Long’s constituents in conservative southwest Missouri were not happy that he shook President Obama’s hand. Congressman Long discussed that this morning on “Wake Up Mid-Missouri.” He encourages civility on Capitol Hill, and urges Missouri freshmen U.S. Reps. Mark Alford (R-Harrisonville) and Eric Burlison (R-Springfield) to sit in the aisle for next Tuesday’s State of the Union. Long says they can and should be cordial to President Biden while still fighting for conservative principles:
Strong early funding results for Mizzou’s NextGen Precision Health facility
The early results of Mizzou’s $220-million Roy Blunt NextGen Precision Health building in Columbia have been terrific, according to UM System president Dr. Mun Choi.
“Since the opening, we can attribute $97-million in new awards for our faculty members that work in these areas of developing new treatments for type-2 diabetes. Developing a better understanding of imaging of neurological diseases,” President Choi tells 939 the Eagle’s “CEO Roundtable.”
President Choi predicts NextGen will reduce the cost of health care. Dr. Choi says one of NextGen’s primary goals is to make health care more affordable.
Former U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt has predicted that NextGen will cement Missouri’s place as a leader in biomedical research. Senator Blunt has predicted that NextGen will have a $5.6 billion impact on Missouri’s economy over the next 25 years.
NextGen has enjoyed strong, bipartisan support in the Missouri Legislature. State Sen. Greg Razer (D-Kansas City), a Mizzou graduate who serves on the Senate Education and Workforce Development Committee, has predicted the facility will accelerate medical breakthroughs. Senator Razer describes it as a space that can cure cancer.

Choi: Mizzou North is not suitable for occupancy; demolition to start this year
The UM System president says demolition will begin sometime this year at Mizzou North on Columbia’s Business Loop.
The now-empty building has asbestos issues, according to UM System President Dr. Mun Choi. He spoke to host Fred Parry on 939 the Eagle’s “CEO Roundtable.”
“And the building is not really suitable for occupancy. We have a number of organizations that approached us about the possible use of the building. The reason that we moved out of the building is that it is not suitable for continued long-term occupancy,” Dr. Choi says.
The UM Board of Curators approved the $10-million demolition plan in September. Dr. Choi tells listeners that demolition should be completed in early 2024. The building used to be the Ellis Fischel Cancer Center.
“We are exploring all options, whether to keep the land or perhaps use that for other purposes. But no decisions have been made about future use,” says Dr. Choi.
A 939 the Eagle reporter saw at least one open window at Mizzou North on Sunday. Mizzou North is near Rusk Rehabilitation Center and Bob McCosh Chevrolet. The back of Mizzou North is visible from I-70 in Columbia, near the Providence road exit.
