If you deceived your way into benefits you should pay them back to the rightful people - the taxpayer.

If someone receives extra benefits because of a mistake by the State, the person should not have to repay. However if the overpayment is the result of fraud by the person, of course they shou have to pay it back.

Patricia Boggs

Not their fault they were put out of s job

Sue Evans

These people had no idea the money was received in error and use the money to survive. Due to the confusion caused by the government in addressing the pandemic, no one seems to know what is or was suppose to happen The state was ultimately responsible to oversee and they failed.

Will enable more instances as the one in Memphis where ICE incorporate military training & tactics to civilian populous and point weapons at someone's unarmed daughter. There's still rights we protect the people with while in this country. Attempts to further give military a bad image for agendas.

We don't need a secret police!

Ice is not a Secret Police.

Not only do I not like this map, I don't like the way they split Boone County in half last time either. Kehoe is wrong. Nothing this legislature does represents me and my values.

Larry Berneking

Don’t like politicians pushing the constitution aside to further their Trump led political agenda!

Sara Kalinowski

Me neither. How are they not embarrassed?

Toasty

This seems like a political form of "bike shedding". Instead of focusing on important conservative legislation, lets move around lines on a map and pretend it makes some kind of improvement in Missourian's lives.
