State Rep. Rudy Veit (R-Wardsville), the Missouri House Judiciary Committee vice chairman, admits there are collateral consequences to a bill Missouri lawmakers passed in 2023 involving court secrecy. The bill, which was sponsored by Representative Veit, required the removal of almost all personal identifiers. The Missouri Broadcasters Association and Gateway Journalism Review editor William Freivogel have filed a lawsuit in Cole County Circuit Court, saying the law violates the Missouri Constitution. Representative Veit joined us live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", telling listeners that he's heard complaints from both reporters and judges about things being redacted in court documents like probable cause statements. He says there was bipartisan support to have a legislative fix this year, saying the bill died at the end of session in May due to unrelated Missouri Senate filibusters. Representative Veit tells listeners that while it will be up to the courts to determine if the bill is unconstitutional, the 2023 law needs fixing. But he also told listeners that before the bill was passed, people were using online court records to try to get personal information. 939 the Eagle's Brian Hauswirth explained to Representative Veit how the court documents in Columbia's White Castle murder case highlight an issue with the 2023 law:

Missouri House Minority Leader Crystal Quade (D-Springfield) is seeking the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in August. Leader Quade is finishing her eighth and final year in the Missouri House due to term limits. She grew up in rural Webster County and now lives in Springfield.

She tells listeners she and about ten other House Democrats will be attending the Missouri Cattlemen's Association steak fry dinner in Sedalia, which is a big event for farmers and ranchers. Leader Quade tells listeners that it's important to show up and listen and hear from voters across Missouri, including the rural areas. She says that's important as a state representative as well. We also discussed the Kansas City Chiefs situation. Kansas lawmakers will return to the capitol in Topeka on June 18, for a special legislative session regarding the Kansas City Chiefs. The Associated Press (AP) says legislative efforts are underway in Topeka to lure the Chiefs to the Sunflower State. State Rep. Mark Sharp (D-Kansas City) tells Kansas City's KMBC-TV that he wants to see Missouri's GOP supermajority do something. He's worried the Chiefs could move to Kansas. Leader Quade worries about it as well, highlighting the economic impact of the Chiefs as well as having the Super Bowl champions in Kansas City.
