Rich Hill under mandatory water ration order
The voluntary rationing order for Rich Hill has been escalated to a mandatory order as of today, as issued by the city superintendent. The Rich Hill water plant cannot keep up with the demands due to the drought- usage is limited to cooking, personal hygiene, laundry and sewage. Absolutely no outdoor watering is allowed. There will be a $500 fine for anyone using water outdoors such as filling pools, watering gardens or lawns.
The order will be in effect until further notice.
Drought assistance available
Nearly 100% of Missouri is now considered to be part of the nationwide 2012 drought disaster. Fortunately, there is help available through the USDA that includes emergency funding for livestock and crop producers.

A grim reminder...
Dynamic Message Signs will provide weekly updates of Missouri fatalities.
JEFFERSON CITY - Motorists traveling across Missouri rely on MoDOT's electronic roadside message signs to provide important highway information. Starting Aug. 1, a new type of safety message will appear. The boards will report the number of people who died on Missouri roads so far this year, and the percentage of those people who were unbelted.

Legislative Process Comes Full Circle
From the desk of Senator David Pearce
We are just a few days away from Aug. 28, the date that most bills passed by the General Assembly during the legislative session and signed by the governor become law. This completes the legislative cycle for those bills whose journey began in January.
We are just a few days away from Aug. 28, the date that most bills passed by the General Assembly during the legislative session and signed by the governor become law. This completes the legislative cycle for those bills whose journey began in January.
The reason Aug. 28 is the typical day for bills to take effect is that it is 90 days after the constitutional end of the legislative session (May 30). Occasionally, a bill will pass with an emergency clause, which means that it becomes effective upon receiving the governor’s signature. There are sometimes bills that have entirely different effective dates, like the beginning of the following year. This often occurs when the bill affects a state agency or another entity and time would be required to implement necessary changes.
