State Parks Clean Up, Driving & Texting Fines Begin: The Morning News

It's the last day hog-producing giant Premium Standard Farms has to implement cleaner waste removal technology in 40 of its facilities in Missouri.

The state of Missouri is continuing its state-parks jobs program that hires teens and young adults in the state's parks and historic sites.

The long legal battle over the route for a South Lawrence Trafficway continues.

Starting Saturday, Kansans who text message while driving will be facing a fine.
