Great accountability questions from Shoshana Stahl last night. Notice how it takes three times before CEMA Commissioner Sarah Russell finally admits CEMA staffers were at a workshop when they should've been sounding an alarm. Russell also blames fire dept, old battered sirens.

Missouri voters approved paid sick leave. Gov Kehoe just repealed those benefits for workers. Does Sen. Eric Schmitt agree with Kehoe? "I'm not going to comment..." Did he vote for paid leave? "I don't remember." He pivots to tax cuts on tips, criticizes "regulatory state"

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe came to St Louis to celebrate his first bill signed into law. Kehoe's crime bill seizes control of city police and puts them under a state board of commissioners he'll appoint. I asked him why he pushed so hard for something the public doesn't want.

A lot of people in last night's audience told me this was one of the most memorable moments: If the candidates don't advance, then who would they like to see win? Mayor Jones -> Mike Butler Butler -> Mayor Jones Cara Spencer -> None of the above Andrew Jones -> None of the above
