Thanks for listening, and have a great week.
This is Kansas City Today.
I'm Brian Ellison.
Today is Monday, August 10th.
Coming up, we talk with a couple of winners of contentious primaries last week who hope to win first terms representing Missouri in Congress next year.
How will Republican Chris Stegall and Democrat Jordan Herrera unite their respective parties and punch their ticket to Washington?
But first, our weekly look at top stories in government and politics news on both sides of the state lines.
One of the big stories out of last week's election was the overwhelming defeat of Amendments 4 and 5 in Missouri, and it's led Republican leaders in the state to say they will rethink how to approach cutting taxes and making it harder to amend Missouri's Constitution.
Expected Speaker of the House Alex Riley said he was not surprised to see both amendments fail, but...
As far as making it harder to amend the state constitution, the Springfield Republicans said a lot of discussions need to happen before attempting a redo.
Meanwhile, as Sarah Kellogg reports, Democrats plan to use the Republicans' votes on 4 and 5 against them for the November elections.
But just how far can that momentum carry the Democrats?
Republicans have had a supermajority in both chambers of the Missouri Statehouse since 2012.
Democrats have tried unsuccessfully to break it ever since.
KCUR's Grace Hills says last week's results have given the party hope.
And a new Kansas law requires more regulation of the way medication costs are reimbursed to local pharmacies.
