Republican lawmakers in the Missouri House have voted not to pay for the expansion, drawing criticism that they're going against the will of the people.

The voters spoke their mind about this and its borderline criminal that Republicans in Jeff City continue to openly defy and thumb their noses at the majority of voters and what we voted for. We will see them in Court and they will lose!

THE PEOPLE VOTED FOR IT. SCREW JEFFERSON CITY!

Oooh, are you Angry? Maybe only taxpayers and land owners should be allowed to vote.

Randel Hearne

Just like the proposed gas tax increase that has been voted down that they are trying to increase and the right to work it is wrong. But if you leave it up to the voters on some issues they can't make an educated decision because they don't speed the time to research what they are voting on.

Judy Smith

The citizens voted to expand Medicaid. This is a democracy and the will of the voters should not be overruled.

Nothing is ever going back to what it once was. You will continue to fall. You only have your contentment now.

Missouri should enforce strict laws against animal abuse—because any society that calls itself evolved must protect the voiceless. Cruelty tolerated is cruelty normalized, and no state that values progress can afford that.

Fat Guy Outdoors

Yes the voiceless, to include humans as well. Babies need voices as well.

Chris Macy

Currently, MO is the country's leader in puppy mills. Punish these horrible monsters who traffic in the misery of poor animals!

Way over due!!

Denise Taylor

Dogs are the most loyal animals and love you unconditionally no matter how they are treated and it is just heartbreaking to see them mistreated or abused!

Missouri has been notorious for puppy mills that sell sick puppies and treat dogs horrible.

Cindy Hall

Because we need to be advocates for the animals that get taken advantage of. They can’t fight for them for themselves. Some humans are very cruel

Fat Guy Outdoors

Totally agree, look at how we treat our children in the womb as if they are a burden when actually its us who didn't take accountability for our own actions. Humans are selfish and cruel.

I think the more pertinent question would be should dogs and other domesticated animals kept as pets be considered property or have other more humane rights? This has nothing to do with breeding. The dogs were neglected and suffered immensely.

Eric Smith

We need more room fulls of people in J.C. working out the details of sports betting, thereby sending exponentially more people into compulsive gambling, and eventually bankruptcy. To hell with protecting the innocent animals.

Fat Guy Outdoors

No, they should have tougher laws on people breeders.
