A Missouri House Committee has approved legislation sponsored by state Rep. Denny Hoskins, R-Johnson County. House Bill 1431 would extend the expiration of the provisions regarding the use of tax averting taxation for both sales and use tax on the sale of aviation jet fuel until 2023. Currently, these taxes are deposited in the Aviation Trust Fund and can be used by airports for maintenance and improvements. If the tax averting provision is allowed to expire in 2013, there will be no funding filtered into the Aviation Trust Fund. This will have a devastating impact on small, regional airports relying on this funding to maintain the safety of their services.

"The Aviation Trust Fund helps provide funding for airports, including the Max B. Swisher Skyhaven Airport at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg. The funds are used to help keep the towers operating smoothly and the airways and runways safe," Hoskins said.

Under current law, the tax exemptions will expire in 2013, but with the provisions of HB 1431 they would be extended until December 2023. HB 1431 was voted "Do Pass" out of Transportation Committee on February 7 and now must move through the House Rules Committee before heading to the House floor for discussion. John C. Evans, Airport Director for Sedalia Regional Airport, testified in favor of HB 1431 during the Transportation Committee meeting on February 7^th.

^{Gov. Jay Nixon today announced that the $14.1 billion in Missouri exports in 2011 is a new state record, topping the last state record set in 2007.}

^{“Selling more Missouri-made goods overseas means more jobs here at home,” Gov. Nixon said. “I applaud the incredible work of Missouri businesses, farmers and workers for their successful efforts to increase Missouri exports to this record level.”}

^{“My administration is committed to continuing this economic progress by moving forward with the Missouri Works jobs strategy to help local businesses sell more goods, create more jobs and expand prosperity for folks in every corner of our state,” Gov. Nixon said.}

^{Continuing to increase sales of Missouri-made goods overseas is a central component of Gov. Nixon’s Missouri Works careers and jobs strategy. Under Missouri Works, the state of Missouri will establish a ‘one-stop shop’ for Missouri entrepreneurs who want to establish or expand their export business, providing seamless assistance and resources from across state government. Missouri Works also will establish an International Exports Coordinator within the Missouri Department of Agriculture and commit resources to open Missouri export offices in China, Southeast Asia and South America.}

^{Last October, Gov. Nixon led a delegation of more than 60 Missouri business and agricultural leaders to China to close a series of agreements to sell $4.6 billion in Missouri goods to Chinese consumers – increasing Missouri’s exports to China by more than $1 billion over the next three years.}

^{Meanwhile, Missouri’s unemployment rate is now at its lowest point in three years, and groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are pointing to Missouri as a top state for business growth and expansion.}

The Mayor, Police, Fire, Public works, Community development and Sedalia City Administrator had
an emergency meeting at 8:00 this morning to have a post analysis of
last night's storm and where we go from here.  First, we do not believe
there were any deaths.  However, damage is extensive.  The cause was
sheer wind within a severe thunderstorm.  We have heard of wind speeds
up to 80 MPH.  A large portion of Sedalia was impacted.   There were two
fires last night due to electrical problems caused by the storm.  Many
power lines were down and a large number of people are without power as
of this morning.  KCP&L indicates just under 8,000 are without
power...as of this moment.  No word on when power will be restored.
Police spent last night directing traffic away from danger areas and
searching for danger areas. All of our emergency personnel were very
busy last night and felt their people performed well through the night.
As we knew would happen, the generator is not functioning correctly, so
someone was standing by to manually turn it on when the power went off
here.  I drove by city hall last night and it was running correctly and
the power was on here, but it took  a few moments for that to happen.
Also out last night was the public works crew.   They were clearing
roads and avoiding power lines.  With sunlight the full extent of the
damage is more clearly understood.  THE FAIR GROUNDS RECEIVED EXTENSIVE
DAMAGE, BUT FEEL THEY WILL BE UP AND RUNNING AT NOON. There are a lot of
downed tents etc.  During this morning's meeting, it was agreed that we
will have A SPECIAL LIMB PICK-UP DAY,  and will probably do it by
sectors.

Missouri Morning News:  August 4th, 2011:

The state may not have enough money to finish improving its highway rest
stops. An update on the rest-stop renovation plan was heard Wednesday by the
Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission. The 2000 plan was intended
to reduce annual operating costs by cutting the number of stops, improve
facilities for tourists and increase parking spaces for commercial truck
drivers. It would cost $96 million to complete 13 facilities at nine sites
still remaining on the 2000 renovation plan. The projects are not now
included in the department's budget, officials said.
-----
State revenues have continued to improve, spurring Governor Jay Nixon to
release $1.2 million Wednesday for domestic violence shelters, crisis care
services for children and Area Agencies on Aging. Cuts to those programs
were part of $172 million Nixon sliced while approving the 2012 budget that
took effect in July. State revenues went up 9.6 percent in the first month
of the current budget year, state Office of Administration officials
reported. Missouri's revenue in July was $452.2 million, $2.9 million more
than in July 2010.
-----
Under a new law signed by Governor Jay Nixon, teachers could be prohibited
from directly contacting students on Facebook and other social-networking
sites. The Amy Hestir Student Protection Act is intended to shield students
from predatory teachers. The laws wording states teachers cannot have a
nonwork-related Web site that allows exclusive access with a current or
former student, leaving some unsure what is acceptable. Effective August
28th, the 10-year statute of limitations changes; prosecution must start
within 30 years after a victim reaches age 18.
-----
Metropolitan St. Louis unemployment fell to a seasonally adjusted 8.8
percent in June. It was the first time in 2 years the area jobless rate
registered below 9 percent. Local St. Louis area unemployment numbers do not
include the underemployed, residents employed involuntarily in part-time
positions or displaced workers who have stopped looking for jobs.
Nationwide, unemployment goes up to more than 16 percent when people in
those categories are figured in. In June, the U.S. jobless rate-based on
displaced workers now in the job market-was 9.2 percent.
-----
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, reporting June job creation or loss for
major cities, said the Kansas City area lost 6,300 establishment payroll
jobs over the last 12 months. Still, the area unemployment rate fell to 8.5
percent in June, down from 8.9 percent in the same month last year. There
were 89,500 metro-area job seekers in June 2011 compared to 93,600 a year
