The Missouri Office of Administration announced Monday that renovation work on the exterior of the Capitol is nearing the halfway point and the dismantling of scaffolding on the east horseshoe has begun. The horseshoe encompasses the east, northeast and southeast portions of the Capitol and soon work will begin on the opposite side of the building. Recent high winds have ripped away portions of the protective covering but the material is designed to do just that in high winds in order to prevent the scaffolding from being damaged or lifted. Officials said later this spring the scaffolding will be in place on the west and southwest sides and covered with the protective wrap.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Missouri voters will get a chance to decide whether to impose term limits on all of the state's top executive officials.
Lawmakers gave final approval Friday to a proposed constitutional amendment that would limit the lieutenant governor, secretary of state, auditor and attorney general to being elected to two, four-year terms.
That would match term limits already in place for the governor and state treasurer.
State lawmakers already are limited to two four-year terms in the Senate and four two-year terms in the House.
The amendment on executive branch term limits would appear on the November 2020 ballot, unless the governor sets it for an earlier vote.
