Nick Reed PODCAST: 05.12 - MO Gas Tax & PDMP

Published: May 12, 2021, 12:13 p.m.

FIVE tax increases have been sent to Gov. Parsons desk... A PDMP was also sent to his desk. Gov. Parson announced that Missouri will join several states ending pandemic-related federal programs that include extra payments to unemployed workers. House Minority Leader Crystal Quade, D-Springfield, said in statement that Missourians refusing to work so they can collect unemployment is “an offensive, right-wing myth.” “Contrary to what the governor claims, the free market – not some federal boogeyman – is primarily responsible for Missouri’s tight labor market.” Tom Martz calls in to talk about the MO gas tax. Dr. John Lilly gives us a call to chat about the PDMP.
