Last update: 3 hours agoMissouri Ballot Fight: A Cole County judge set trial dates next week for two blocked Missouri ballot measures—one seeking a statewide referendum on the 2025 congressional map and another aiming to limit lawmakers’ ability to change voter-approved laws—after Secretary of State Denny Hoskins refused to certify them.

Local Business & Access: Platte City’s Highway 92 redesign is moving forward despite business owner concerns about access and left turns.
