Santa Fe Times Opinion

Supporting agriculture
We have passed the midway point of session, and the work has really taken off. These are some of the busiest weeks of session as we try to work on as many bills as we can before the budget becomes the primary focus in the Senate. I am happy to report that many bills from both the House and Senate are progressing at a decent clip, and soon, we will start working on the budget bills.

Reforming the juvenile justice system
As we reach the halfway point of the legislative session, we are proud of the progress made so far this year. Several bills have moved through committee, been debated on the Senate floor, and are now advancing to the Missouri House of Representatives.




St. Patrick’s Day plant tips
With St. Patrick’s Day approaching, many people are tempted to purchase the attractive “shamrock plant,” or may receive one as a gift. What is sold as a shamrock is actually a plant from the genus Oxalis, part of the wood sorrel family. Oxalis regnelli, often sold in March, resembles clover with its three triangular-shaped leaflets and delicate white blooms. A purpleleaf plant in the same family, Oxalis triangular, bearing pale pink to white flowers, is also widely available during this season.
