And Missouri should see $1.7 billion of that money. Alabama is set to get about $1.4 billionArkansas just over $1 billionIndiana more than $850 millionKansas over $450,000Iowa over $400,00According to administration estimates some 24 million folks are without high speed internet access to their homes, many of which are located in the areas largely represented by and governed by Republican members of congress like Jason Smith in the Missouri 8th District one of the single most impoverished districts in America. Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, noted Federal money glut who pretends to hate the government for political points said that the money will “greatly assist our ongoing investments in Missouri’s broadband infrastructure”This comes as part of the Biden administrations “Internet For all” initiative. “What we’re doing is, as I said, not unlike what Franklin Delano Roosevelt did when he brought electricity to nearly every American home and farm in our nation. Today (Vice President) Kamala (Harris) and I are making an equally historic investment to connect everyone in America to high speed internet, and affordable high speed internet, by 2030,”So far none of the Republican governors have denounced this redistribution of wealth as a massive government overreach or bloated spending. Wonder why? https://missouriindependent.com/2023/06/27/white-house-unveils-42-5b-to-connect-every-american-to-high-speed-broadband-internet/https://arkansasadvocate.com/2023/06/26/white-house-unveils-42-5b-to-connect-every-american-to-high-speed-broadband-internet/LIBRARY MEETING DRAWS A CROWDMore than 350 people crowded into a St. Charles County library board meeting Tuesday night, in Missouri, a new chapter in a fight about a library employee’s clothing choices.The heated meeting included three hours of public comment, centered on a woman’s complaint that when she visited a branch of the Library, an unnamed worker was wearing makeup, nail polish and also had… (gasp) a goatee. LGBTQ supporters were swift to push back on the woman’s complaints, and they showed up in droves Tuesday night to counter complaints by the woman and her supporters.Some say the employee is dressing like a stripper, and only appropriate for night clubs. The public comment portion of the meeting lasted three hours before the board decided to end comment and allow others to simply email their diatribes. Sadie Anderson, who described themselves as being the partner of the library staff member, urged the library board to continue to support the employee.“My partner is having to do something that no person on earth should have to do, they are having to fight for their mere right to exist,” Anderson said. “My partner, myself, and every single person in this room should be able to express themselves and feel comfortable in the clothing they choose and wear those clothes without fear of ridicule. It is as simple as that.”https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/stcharles/more-than-350-people-pack-st-charles-library-meeting-in-fight-over-dress-code-lgbtq/article_363f3d66-1069-11ee-afd9-a7e1bfb0bc7d.htmlKANSAS VOTING RIGHTS CASE GOES SUPREMENo, they didn’t add sour cream and tomatoes - but the Kansas election law from 2021 is being challenged in court and it’s headed to the Kansas state supreme courtto review portions of a voting rights lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of mandates created in 2021 in response to election fraud conspiracy theories - all of which were lies.The question is whether Kansans’ right to vote is undermined by state law restricting the number of advance ballots a person can deliver to an election office and the new state law requiring electio
