Mike Parson

A diverse group of people tried to stop Dorsey’s execution, but both the courts and Gov. Mike Parson declined to halt his death sentence.

The St. Charles County Republican joined several of his colleagues calling for Gov. Mike Parson to commute Dorsey’s sentence to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The Senate still could include the increase when considering its version of the budget.

More than 150 people have called for Gov. Mike Parson to grant Brian Dorsey clemency — including corrections officers, Republican state representatives, jurors, and the Missouri Supreme Court judge who upheld Dorsey’s conviction and death sentence in 2009.

The legislation, which received bipartisan backing, would stop any foreign entity from purchasing farmland within 500 miles of a military facility in the state.

Missouri House Budget Committee Chairman Cody Smith cut the time set aside for amending his spending plan but said the final product is ‘largely the same.’

The bill still needs the approval of the Senate.

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson reduced Britt Reid's sentence after Reid crashed his truck into two vehicles near the Chiefs’ practice facility in February 2021 while drunk, permanently injuring a 5-year-old girl. Reid is Kansas City Chief head coach Andy Reid's son.

Some attendees of the Missouri Republican Party Lincoln Days said contested primaries for statewide posts are part of a new reality of the state becoming dominated by the GOP.

In the wake of Wednesday’s mass shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs parade, lawmakers say they feel helpless to do anything about firearms or the high homicide rate. That's in large part because Missouri preempts local governments from enacting gun control measures.
