Respects paid to Tom Schweich
Capitol report from Representative Patricia Pike
Ft. Leonard Wood Pentagon Listening Session:
Missouri’s Elected Officials joined a packed house Monday, March 2, 2015 at Ft. Leonard Wood in support of retaining the military personnel being considered for reduction. Up to 5400 Soldier and Army civilian jobs are being evaluated in the downsizing at Fort Leonard Wood, which will have a large impact on the Ft Leonard Wood region as well as Missouri.
Representatives from the Pentagon listened to Governor Nixon, US Senator McCaskill, US Senator Blunt, and US Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler, as well as a large number of state and local officials testifying at the Listening Session. It was an honor to be part of the MO House of Representative’s group attending. Our message was loud and clear in support of Ft. Leonard Wood and the advantages of keeping all the military bases strong in Missouri.
Honoring a Great Public Servant (HR 659)
Also this week many of my colleagues made the trip from Jefferson City to Clayton to pay their respects to State Auditor Tom Schweich, who tragically passed away last week. It was a somber and emotional moment as we remembered this man who had worked so hard for our state, and who had such a bright future of service ahead of him. Upon returning to the Capitol, the House met to approve a resolution honoring Schweich.
