According to KCUR, opponents of Missouri’s new Trump-backed congressional map say they have submitted roughly 305,000 signatures to force a statewide referendum, more than double what is needed to pause the map and put it before voters. KCUR reports that Secretary of State Denny Hoskins and Attorney General Catherine Hanaway dispute whether the signatures can stop the map from taking effect, setting up a high‑stakes legal clash over when, or if, the new districts will be used. The news outlet Democracy Docket notes that a state court recently dismissed a legislative challenge to the referendum effort, but further lawsuits are expected as Republicans try to preserve the map and activists push to let voters decide.
At the Capitol, the legislature’s 2025 session has already reshaped policy across elections, education, and public safety. The tracking site LegiScan shows that lawmakers passed SB152 to restrict foreign spending in state ballot measure elections, SB68 and SB63 to overhaul K‑12 policies and expand participation in nontraditional schools, and SB71 to create the Public Safety Recruitment and Retention Act, which offers free college tuition to qualifying first responders and their dependents. LegiScan also highlights SB82, a new law focused on water preservation, and HB145, which revises Missouri’s open records “Sunshine Law,” affecting how local governments handle public information requests.
On the economic front, the Missouri Department of Economic Development announced a second tranche of more than 33 million dollars in federal State Small Business Credit Initiative 2.0 funding, to be deployed through the Missouri Technology Corporation and lending partner Justine Petersen to expand access to capital for startups and small businesses statewide. The Department says this investment is aimed at strengthening high‑growth entrepreneurship and supporting early‑stage companies across Missouri. The state’s economic research office reports that Missouri’s Purchasing Managers’ Index jumped to 62.7 in October, the highest in the region and a sign of expanding manufacturing activity.
Local governments are advancing major development projects. The Kansas City Business Journal reports that Lee’s Summit officials are weighing plans and incentives for a nearly 493‑million‑dollar East Village mixed‑use project anchored by a new Costco near a key highway interchange, a development expected to bring jobs, housing, and retail.
In community and education news, the Springfield News-Leader reports that the city’s nearly 60‑million‑dollar Reed Academy rebuild is on track for completion next summer, transforming the campus into a choice middle school with modern facilities. Other districts across the state are pursuing bond projects and new construction to update aging buildings and expand capacity, reflecting ongoing concerns about school infrastructure.
Looking ahead, listeners should watch the courts for rulings on the redistricting referendum, upcoming legislative debates over ballot initiatives and education policy, and how new small-business funding and large developments like the Lee’s Summit project translate into jobs and local tax base in 2026.
