KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Missouri Gov. Mike Parson is calling state lawmakers
back to work to give his administration the authority to dole out additional
federal coronavirus aid funding. Parson on Wednesday announced the special
session. It is slated to begin Nov. 5. That’s two days after the Nov. 3
gubernatorial election. Parson says the session is needed to allow the state to
hand out federal money for school food programs, job training and homelessness
prevention. Democratic House Minority Leader Crystal Quade says the special
session is a political stunt before the election. She questions whether it’s
even necessary.
