Missouri Senate reluctant to add live video feed
JEFFERSON CITY - To see the Senate in action, Missourians must drive to the Capitol, climb three flights of stairs to the fourth floor and perch in the public gallery. Even then, many senators are still not within view. Sen. Mike Moon, R-Ash Grove, is trying to change that through a Senate resolution calling for live video streaming of the Senate. While the House has offered that service for 10 years, Senate leaders aren't enchanted with the idea. Supervising Editor is Fred Anklam Jr.

From outside the vehicle, the sound of muted thumping breaks the night silence. Edwards is producing music on his laptop. He uses his car sound system rather than his home speakers so he does not wake his mother, Miranda Wiser-Jones, who sleeps on the top floor of the gray duplex down the block.
Columbia Refuge: Fleeing Afghanistan and finding a home in Missouri

When the Taliban seized power in his home country in August 2021, his family was designated as a target of the militant group.
