ST. LOUIS (AP) _ Missouri Gov. Mike Parson says the two issues that will be
taken up in special session next week are crucially important to Missouri’s
future.
The Republican governor traveled to Springfield, St. Louis and Hannibal Tuesday
in preparation for next week’s special session to consider bills he vetoed on
science education and expanding drug treatment courts. Parson says the special
session is aimed at replacing problematic language in both bills.
One would allow high school computer science courses to count toward math,
science or practical art credits. The other is a wide-ranging bill dealing with
treatment courts, judicial retirement plans and abandoned property cleanup.
During a speech at LaunchCode, a St. Louis non-profit that provides training
for tech careers, Parson expressed confidence both measures can be worked out.
